Oh, I get it. I even feel compassion for some of them, even though they don’t have the education, vocabulary or sense to put it into words.
The problem is that most Americans, whether they live in a red state blue state, are unhappy with the way things that have been proceeding for the last 30 - 40+ years. Their way of life has changed. They’ve watched businesses and wealthy and enrich themselves on their hard work and they’re angry that they don’t have a piece of that pie anymore.
They happen to be mad because for the last, I don’t know how many decades politicians, the media, and every preacher trying to convinced them that it’s black people, or immigrants, or liberals, or Democrats, pick a flavor something to hate.
So now they are cheering for the dismantlement of the government and the society that left them behind. They are mad at the wrong people for the wrong things.
It is being dismantled by the same wealthy shits. These people are fucking morons.
Yeah, they’re too dumb to notice they’re being conned. I grew up in New York, so I know all about Donald Trump and all his slimeball bullshit And I still find it hard to believe why a bunch of rural farmers and rust belt laborers Believe in a sleazy racist multiple failure of a fake businessman that is Donald Trump.
He could literally care less about some country yokel while he pretends to be an elite New Yorker. Blows my mind that he is the person that all these idiots decided is their champion. How the fuck did Donald Trump convinced the bottom third of the voting public That he was going to fix everything for them?
And it’s fun to watch them all start to get fucked in the ass by Trump for the second time while they’re cheering about it, Unfortunately it is the demise of the country.
I grew up on Kansas in the 80s/90s and knew that he was a slime ball piece of shit. Was completely blindsided when the morons around me praised him for caring about them while also vilifying liberals for being wealthy city folk. It was the most blatant display of cognitive dissonance I've ever seen.
Then the news saying he appealed to the rural voters by listening to their concerns was fucking wild, since liberals had been doing the exact same thing for decades!
I remember Chomksy commenting on the "Angry White Man" phenomenon being talked about in the 90s. He said they have a right to be mad (about the financial things), but they have it all wrong about what caused them to be mad...as relevant today as ever.
