Facts versus F-wits: how to fight the Alt Reich

But when these guys come in, they exploit that and You know, whether it's Farage, whether it's Trump, they come in, but are they going to offer change? No way.

I don't think Americans are going to sit there and be like, yeah, that's fine. People are going to get angry. They're going to get upset at the government. People are desperate for real change.
