#Oklahoma #Election #Politics
Eventually conservatives will learn that white supremacy is not a bug in their party, it’s a feature.
When will Americans realize that the country is full of “men” like him?
This situation in Oklahoma may be just the beginning of democracy’s fight to survive in 2024 against the likes of these men. Trump is the biggest threat, I think.
@@liann3881Trump was only the start.
that doesn’t mean we have to accept them being in positions of power
Thank you white people for fighting. If only we had a few million more.
Stay strong and ensure that he isn’t re-elected
I remember, during the Women’s March after trump took office, being so inspired by the older ladies in the movement. They have a fire that’s hard to replicate.
“White nationalist” to NBC is someone who isn’t ashamed of being born white.
you think a man who praised hitler isn’t a white nationalist? get better bait
This is why I vote Blue. People like him, Governor Stitt and Donald Trump are part of the problem in this country. Stop voting for people like this! We gotta do better
“What do you think it is about Conservative ideology that makes it such an attractive home for racists? Does it ever make you think why you and the hardcore racists are so equally devoted to Donald Trump?”
One day, American journalists will be brave enough to ask Conservatives the questions that actually matter in these situations.
I find it interesting that the piece called him a white nationalist, instead of a white supremacist which is what he is. I don’t like the Liberal word games…to me a white nationalist is someone who loves America…that does not necessarily make them a racist person or someone who hates people of other races…a white supremacist is a person who hates people of other races.
it doesn’t matter what it means “to you”, it matters what it means… for real…
When your ideology of hate is routinely run by racists maybe its time to reconsider your ideology, instead republicans celebrate it.
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT HE WON AN ELECTION BARRING THIS GUY BREAKING THE LAW HE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL
They got the petitions for a recall, did you watch the video
JUDD DOES NOT BELONG IN OFFICE. . . who is he representing?? . . OKLAHOMA’S GEORGE SANTOS. . . LIAR LIAR
Oh lord… 🙄❤
This is why undecided and uninformed voters cause the biggest turnovers during elections.
So thankful and proud of these WOMEN! GRATEFUL is an understatement!
That same question they ask on polygraph test “have you now or ever been a supporter or member of any group advocating for the overthrow of the U.S. government” should be a requirement for anyone working in government going forward & they should have to swear under oath or everyone that works for state local or federal govt should have to take polygraphs going forward. Simple solutions
What lovely ladies
Don’t stop here. Stay strong and get the GOP out of your state. Make a new party for the Left so the Democrats become the right-wing party.
At some point you have to accept that lots of people are going to agree with him. That’s just how the tide of history is going.
Its not a cliche , okies really are stupid af,
HIS NAME IS BLEVINS!?!!?!
Welp, maybe more of ya’ll will get up off your collective rumps and VOTE.
It’s crazy to think that our grandfathers have died in WW2 fighting fascist scum, yet here we are electing them. How far America has fallen.
This if the modern Republican Party. 10 years ago, to be pro-choice (like Nixon and ford) was to be a RINO. Now, to be anti-holocaust is to be a RINO.
Democrats: “Every voice matters you racist sexists, count every vote, every vote matters, every voice matters!”
*votes in white nationalist*
Democrats: “WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT!”
1. No democrat has ever said those words
2. White nationalists are just rebranded n*zis, do you really wanna side with the n*zis?
He is not the only white supremacist in all levels of politics.
God bless these two women and everyone in Enid and everywhere willing to reflect upon themselves!!
🇺🇸
Enid is not a large place, those people either knew or should have known, if they had done any research, on what kind of person Blevins is!
Another tough guy that runs like a coward when confronted about his values.
Considering its Oklahoma, I’m shocked he didn’t use this in his campaign
White supremacist’s name is Judd.
Type of ideaology should be condemned. Yet some of these people will celebrate “latin power” and “jewish nationalism” aka zionism, without seeing the similarities.
That you voted him in the first time says all kinds about Enid.
how do you elect a white nationalist?? rural american towns will never cease to surprise me
Pay attention America this is happening all over USA. This is what our WWII brothers and sisters fought against and we are allowing them to serve in government.
Tell me, what did they fight for in World War ii? They fought for a European country to be invaded by Third World people? They fought to get rid of Europeans?
Anyone named Blevins needs to take a DNA test. No one in this country has room to be racist. Shows how tolerant of racism most of rural America really is.
Judd Blevins is trash 🗑
The Illuminati will RUIN Small Town Life and Force Citizens to take extreme measures to balance Democracy. It happens everywhere.
Im sorry to say but people from those place and the south are historically racists…
Am I the only one that sees it? 😅 please let me know if you see it
The haircut? Lol
@@_gorezone_ hair mustache everything 😂 just squint your eyes! 😂😂
I’m glad there are still sane people in that town who don’t want this guy as governor. When people start voting in racists into office it’s a threat to everyone who doesn’t agree with the racists.
Good job. We need more of this. Unfortunately, him being a known white supremacist will only get him more votes out in Oklahoma
#OklahomaIsRacist. The very first bill out of the Oklahoma Senate after becoming a state was #Segregation. #Oklahoma is still #Racist.
You get what you vote for. Should have paid attention
This is amazing!!!
Thank you all!!!
yep……that’s rural america for you!
I guess free speech is only for those that they agree with.
that’s not what free speech means. lol are you trolling?
What’s wrong with White nationalism?
Racist by definition, connections to n*zi ideology, the basis for multiple false conspiracy theories. Need I continue?
Profile pic checks out
it’s a cowardly and stupid ideology, wdym?
Yes we all need to do more like this, it’s hard to believe in 2024 we have to still weave people out like this. They’ve only gotten smarter as we can tell from our political climate.
There’s nothing wrong with what he is doing. If you want to go live in the third world then go live there.
These ladies are based af
He run as conservative Republican. Is anyone really surprised he is a white nationalist?
U go girls ✊ love me some huite democrat women 💯🙌🙌🙌
I’m relieved that they were able to get enough signatures to call for one.🙏❤️
2 old white democrats in a conservative city. What kind of skeletons are in those KKK members closets? He has a 1st amendment right to say what he wants. If you don’t agree argue your points against him. Don’t try to cancel him. Lest ye be canceled yourself for your past. Let’s dig into those lady’s. I’m sure a quick check into them will reveal plenty.
Of course a Republican! A racist!
Yall didnt do a,background check.
Fair play to those women!
Please educate the National public on this … we as a country need to learn how this happened… thank you ladies
At least common sense prevailed
Good on ya, Enid!
If you’re such a proud white nationalist, why not answer any questions and be so secretive about it?
Because they are cowards.
What a time to be alive
Being called ANTIFA by people who are, or may be, actual Fascists is definitely a badge of Honor.
Do better Oklahoma
Oklahoma is filled with these people. This should have not come as a surprise.
Thank God that courageous women like these will stand up and try to make a difference! So many people wouldn’t put themselves in this position and go through everything they’re going to go through to fix this issue! Bravo ladies! I’m so proud of you for doing the right thing!
Republicans wrap themselves in the flag and call themselves patriots while betraying our nation.
The heartland!
2024 is going well, I see…
What’s the problem!? BE ENID PROUD that ya elected a White Nationalist!! Middle America Values!!
They elected them. I guess that’s what they want.
So he’s a person of the white caucus huh?
So, more people voted for him than against, but NBC didn’t interview A SINGLE ONE OF THEM!
Cracking journalism there.
Not surprised those who serve are deeply involved in tiki torch business
Go girls!
Thats what happens when you vote blindly lol
Good for the people of Enid, especially the two ladies that recognized who & what their town elected!
Voting him in the first time already says a lot about who you are.
If they don’t like Blevins, they won’t like 💩💩trump💩💩.
Fyi-The Clan endorses trump.
Oklahoma keeps racing to the bottom.
Typical republican. Smh
Another nice gift former disgraced president Don Trump left us: empowering W supremacist everywhere.
we need more news stories like this exposing people like this
Not your fault. People have been electing fascists since the dawn of time. It’s hard not to when those are the only people willing to run for office.
Isn’t antifa just short for anti fascist?
3:36 I Stan Conney and Nancy. “A badge of honour”. Amazing, hahahaha
The Good Karens
Trump will probably invite him to dinner sometime.
Man these inbreeding states really like to prove to the rest of their country that it isn’t good to sleep with siblings 😂☠️
Blevins & co are who the Christians are in bed with. All the way to the Whitehouse. SEE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE.
AmeriKKKa, nothing has changed, just the goal posts and their robes.
Hyuclebuck OklahomaSsippi is a friggin lost cause.
I see a lot of die hard Republican haters falling for the same old, “if one is racist, all are racist!” propaganda. Yes he was a bad person but when you group multiple people in with a single group that is based on hate, you become no better and it makes the other side fight harder. I’m no Republican, I’m no Democrat , I’m just a simple young adult that is trying to make my way through life without partisan politics getting in my way….we have fallen so hard, the only thing that unites both the left and the right are their hatred for each other
Keep fighting the good fight, ladies~! We cannot back-down from this struggle. Evil cannot be allowed to win.
So Enidians are racists. They were aware of his past and still voted for him. America is lost.
If they voted for him in the first place it shows how utterly backward Oklahoma is. They cry about California while electing clowns like this. let the inbred do what they will do.
You knew how Hitler rose to power, didn’t ya?
White nationalist = treasonous confederates. 😂😂😂
Republicans love white supremacists
