Oh I don't think so. If the working class feels as let down and shut out of the system as they do now, a new guy/gal yelling "change" and "drain the swamp" will get their votes. And I don't even blame them. There are tons of people who feel completely disenfranchised by their government and that's not ok.
Nothing fun about it. This election was soul crushing to a lot of folks. Unbelievable blotch on history.
The last 8-20 years has been soul crushing to a lot of folks. Unbelievable blotch on history. But instead of just being upset and crying about it on social media, they have lasting legacies like alcoholism, addictions to meth and no future career prospects.dutch said:
These seem like the right kind of people to be determining the fate of the most powerful nation on Earth
The irony is that the legacy of alcoholism and drug addiction can be directly traced to Republican policies, cutting public funding for treatment options, lifting regulations on advertising and allowing drug companies to have free reign to peddle their highly addictive narcotics.
As opposed to all of the inner city drug addicts that vote Dem, year after year after year after year?
Well if they were black and had a meth addiction, there's a pretty good chance they'd be in jail anyway.
Among the cabinet members that are being floated out there are a bunch DC retreads. Newt as SoS, yeah that sounds great.
I am curious to see the true appointments. He will need some current insiders to at least have a clue how things actually work around town.
Sure.
Most of these people did not support his candidacy. Lots of them said stuff like he was unfit for office. I'm not sure they want to work for him. And even if they do, Trump doesn't seem to be one to let bygones be bygones.
I am suggesting that Trump isn't the answer to their plight. I am suggesting that the situation in which they find themselves in, while tragic, is being exploited by someone who has no concept of what he is starting and no plans, realistic or otherwise, to end it either.
Class, please see the definition of a "strawman" argument above.
Okay we get it, whatever Trump does do, will be criticized by you regardless of the merits.
Did he do something?
So he is not supposed to be made fun of? Is he a Saint or something?
Whether this is true or not, they were never given an alternative to consider. Just more of the same policies that they PERCEIVE put them in this situation.
Oh, I totally agree that no one else attempted to rile up (communicate with) this demographic. But there are ways and means thay does not open up that particular Pandora's box quite as explosively

Protest the Constitution? You mean like saying it's "unfair" when people peaceably assemble?
It's almost like Trump supporters are going out of their way to prove they actually are the aholes we assumed they were.
I don't like this because if the world does end I can't come back here and rub it in your face.
