Sad how you fear Trump.

 

 

It's not a matter of fear, it's a matter of principle. This man by his own staff's admission was planning on not leaving office after he lost. They tried to pull off a fake elector scheme in order to stay in power.

 

You don't have to be a "liberal socialist" to have a problem with that.

 

You can be a dye-in-the-wool conservative and believe that that is a problem.

 

In fact the guy in this video worked on the Jeb Bush campaign.....

 

 

 

 

 

I completely agree wth him. If you are ok with Donald Trump trying to end the American Experiment, then I question if you love America.

How is this any different from what you do? I guess when you do it's ok because you're right or justified for some reason. 

 

What's wild is left wing politics traditionally (maybe not as recently) are about fighting for the working class. Right wing politics almost always are about fighting for the rich.

 

Which one is selfish?

I always find it amazing when people go against what's best for themselves and people like them in favor of a corporation or some rich person who has nothing in common with you and couldn't care less about you.

 

It's like they believe that if they blindly follow this entity or individual then maybe they will be able to have what that person or entity has, it's the oldest trick in the book and people still fall for it. It reminds me of Screech from Save By the Bell, being Zac Morris's lackey/punching bag, no matter what Screech did he wouldn't be Zac Morris..

There have been whole studies on this, and alot of it has to do with education levels. 

 

People want simple answers to complex problems, this is why the idea of "the other" ruining their lives is so attractive for the elite to use to point to why their lives suck. 

 

Think about how immigrants get blamed "they took our jobs"

 

Or poor people "welfare queen"

 

Or minorities "they spend their money on the latest Jordans"

 

Those are simple answers and easy to digest. 

 

But if you tell these people things like "inflation is high for everyone, prices are sticky and because we are coming out of a pandemic in which we either spend money to keep people alive and not in breadlines that we can't have, because again pandemic and there would be massive health concerns, and spending on breadlines is still spending, so because prices are sticky and because we had supply chain problems, inflation will be high for a while, while we figure out what a post-pandemic economy looks like long term."

 

They gloss over that stuff and think "immigrants are taking our jobs, build the wall"

 

People who have a certain level of education understand at least the basics of how the economy works, so you see less of blaming the other for things.

 

But if you tell less educated people that the super rich are using their money to influence elections so that economic policy favors them.

 

That turns into "The Jews run the world, look at the Rothschilds!!!"

Ah yes, the myth of Democratic-run cities.

 

Nevermind that Republican-run cities and states are the poorest ones in the country PER-CAPITA

But cool let's look at the guy who ran Kansas into the ground, the guy who was Regan's advisor and father of Supply Side economics, and how the failure of his policies led to Kansas reversing course.
