  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, we don't need socialism in this country.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_01: And what is socialism?
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_01: Look what the Democrats are doing.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_01: They'll raise your taxes.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_01: They don't give a shit about the American people.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_01: And what is socialism?
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_01: Well, look what they're doing to America.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: You have all these environmentalist people.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: They stopped drilling oil wells.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, okay.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: And what is socialism?
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: Well, look what the Democrats are doing.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's plain and simple.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: It just proves what...
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: What is the definition of socialism?
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: I don't need to go into big words or whatever.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just telling you, we don't need it in America.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Why MAGA supporters use big words, but they don't know what those words mean.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: There's a psychological reason for that.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: In 1990,
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: researcher Delroy Paulus at the University of British Columbia designed a test
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: to measure people who claim to know things they don't actually know.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: He gave these people a list of names,
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: concepts,
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: and events,
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: and asked these people how familiar they were with each one of the terms.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Some of the items on the list were completely made up.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't exist.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: And certain people claimed to know what those terms meant anyway.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: They said they knew about fictional people that didn't exist,
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: and that they knew about events that never happened.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: But they claim to know all about them.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Paulus called this narcissistic overclaiming.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Narcissistic people need to be seen as the smartest person in the room at all times.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Even when these people are objectively dumb and have no clue what they're talking about.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: So they just say they knew that already.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Just to sound smart.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: Admitting they don't know something feels the same as being worthless to them.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: So their brain never lets them feel ignorant.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: It fills the gap with confident statements and tries to move fast
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: in hopes you don't realize until someone asks them to explain what
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: the words they're saying actually mean.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is every MAGA supporter you've ever seen.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: They say words like socialism or communism.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: They don't know what those words mean, but they say them anyway.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: They don't realize those words are completely different concepts from each other
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: because they don't know the definitions of these words.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: This guy was asked four times to define socialism.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: He couldn't even pronounce socialism.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So of course he couldn't explain it.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: And then he got angry, like all MAGA supporters do.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: These are not smart people.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: They are always unprepared in every situation.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Watch what happens when these people get caught not knowing something in public.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: They never say, I don't know, or let me get back to you.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: They get mean.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: They raise their voice and they try to talk over you.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: They attack you for asking the question.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And then they try to change the subject because a narcissistic person cannot sit
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: with the feeling of being exposed as ignorant in front of other people.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: They try and make you regret asking them to explain it so you never ask again.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Or they have a little baby fit and storm away.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Poor little MAGA.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: The next time you see someone screaming about socialism or communism, don't argue.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Just ask them what those words mean.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: They have no clue.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: So they'll have an emotional meltdown right in front of you.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: They're terrified of looking stupid in front of the people they've convinced
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: into thinking that they're smart.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: The problem is these people look stupid every single time they open their mouth.
