Hi everyone! Here to update y'all on the status of the next video!

The video has expanded in scope a ton since I last updated y'all. I redid multiple parts of the script and added way more new scenes (including multiple Countryball ones, some shown in the pics here), which will result in a better finished product!
Of course, the downside to all that is making production take longer (I had to spend sooo much time learning how to model and animate in Blender for these, but they turned out great)! tbh most of the time spent was just learning HOW to do certain things, but now that I've got the process down, the next videos will hopefully be out quicker!

Other reasons for the long wait include my studies at university (college can be a real pain, there's sooo much work)!!!

The good news is that I'm almost done (I know I've been saying that for ages now, but I'm being so fr rn; I have literally one more scene to edit and then to make the thumbnail)! So, see y'all soon! I'll be sure to post some more teasers here in the community tab in the meantime! :)

Sorry y’all but I don’t think the next vid will be done this month. Gotta take a much needed break to spend time with family for the holidays 🎄(but I’ve got most of January completely free so I’ll be hard at work on editing then)!

Thanks for being patient! Sorry to keep y’all waiting for so long, I promise the vid will be good when it’s done! As a creator I always try to focus on quality over quantity, cause I want to make high quality stuff y’all will enjoy (based on feedback that seems to be what y’all want, so I’m sticking to that)!😄

To those of y’all upset about the election results, please try to hold into any hope you have. I know it’s very hard, but there is nothing to be gained from doomerism!🫂

As for this channel, business will continue as usual. I’m not gonna let shitty irl situations stop me from making stuff people enjoy!

Stay strong! Take care of each other y’all!💚

Fellow Americans of voting age, PLEASE vote in the upcoming election if you can! I get that the opinion of the alt-history guy who makes countries talk on a map doesn't mean much, but seriously go vote. ❤️🤍💙
Remember to research what local policies are on the ballot too! There are plenty of important amendments for my city that are on the ballot this year.!


The policies outlined by Trump's Agenda 47 platform (and Project 2025, which he will likely follow when in office) would be incredibly harmful to the civil liberties of many Americans, myself included, and the stability of the world.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


- The rights of LGBTQ Americans (including me, being bisexual) would be attacked. There is a serious chance we could lose the rights of same-sex marriage, and HRT for transgender Americans. Project 2025's labeling of LGBT Americans merely existing as being inherently pornographic and equivalent to public indecency is disgusting. My existence should not be political.


- The rights of women, which have already been infringed, would be rolled back even more. Already in some Red states, many women are unable to seek abortions in the case of a pregnancy being life-threatening. We cannot let this policy become federal law!


- Immigrants, both legal and undocumented, would be under threat of deportation. Such a policy is inhumane, and we have no way to safely hold or transport them (our prisons are already full as is, so we would have to build more inhumane concentration camps at the border). Ethically deporting millions of people is feasibly impossible. Our economy relies on these people, treating them this way is inexcusable!

Additionally, Trump's increasingly dehumanizing attacks on immigrants and citizens descended from immigrants, are horrifying. The rhetoric of dehumanization, saying people are "poisoning the blood of our country" is never a good sign, and I fear where it could lead.


- Our government's effort to fight Climate Change would stop, and if America stops the rest of the world is sure to follow. The environmental stability of the world is at stake here.


- Our Ukrainian allies would be abandoned, left to fight Russia alone. Trump is known to sympathize with Vladimir Putin, and Trump's plan to "end the war in 24 hours" would overwhelmingly benefit Russia. A Russian victory in Ukraine would open the door to further Russian expansion throughout Europe, putting our allies in further danger. History has shown that appeasement never works.


- Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu would continue to violate international law, with even more backing from the United States. The fact that the Biden/Harris administration is complicit in Israel's war crimes is something that made voting for Harris difficult for me. Make no mistake, the Biden Administration has blood on its hands, what they have done is unforgivable.

But, Trump is Netanyahu's preferred candidate, and electing him would only worsen the conflict. Trump has used "Palestinian" as a slur, and has said he would help Israel "finish the job." Both outcomes of this election are horrible, but one will cause more pain.

In the event of a Harris victory, I'd strongly recommend people keep protesting against our government's policies towards Israel.


- Trump's 10% tariff plan on foreign imports (60% for all imports from China) would hurt American businesses and consumers and lead to an inflation-like effect. Expect the prices of goods to rise even higher. Many businesses have said they will raise prices to offset tariff costs if Trump is elected. Many economists have said this would be devastating.


- Project 2025's policies would be devastating to working Americans. Protections to the rights of workers we've had since the New Deal would be rolled back. It would weaken Unions and literally bring back child labor for teenagers in "inherently dangerous jobs." Employers would be allowed to discriminate based on race, religion, gender, and national origin again.


- Trump's embracing of the Unitary Executive Theory would immensely increase Presidential powers. The modern powers of the presidency are already far beyond what the framers of the Constitution intended, and under Trump they would be expanded even more. Trump's plan to enact Schedule F would fire thousands of government employees and replace them with Trump loyalists. He would surround himself with yes-men, and a lack of dissenting opinion would lead to less effective government.


- If any of this sounds bad to you, good luck protesting it once Trump is in office. He's promised to send in the military to crush any dissent, turning the military on the American people. This alone should be alarming.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is only a small fraction of what we could face if Trump/Vance win the election. If you can, please go vote on Tuesday. It is not an exaggeration to say that the fates of millions of people, and American Democracy (and by extension democracy around the world) are on the line this year. The threat of authoritarianism (hell, maybe even fascism) in America is very real.


To my viewers who disagree with this, you are welcome to. One of the greatest things about being American is that you have the right of expression, the right to speak your mind and make your voice heard. We each have our own opinions, which we are entitled to. If you want to unsub, that is fine. But please, do not take this as meaning you aren't welcome here (so long as you're not bigoted in the comments or anything). Looking at opposing points of view is healthy after all!


Anyways, that's all I've got! Back to making content for y'all! :)

Work on episode 3 is a kinda slow, but it's coming along (mainly cause there are a TON of Countryball scenes, which are tough to edit)! Sorry for the wait, y'all. Idk when it'll be done, but I promise it'll be good! In the meantime, I'll keep posting updates! :)
