Oh, bullshit...That's right bullshit. All this talk about the establishment and the reaction to Washington is double speak because we REALLY are fighting mad because people of color are in positions of power more and more; AND the gays are taking over the world.
All this talk about the establishment is baloney. The reason for the anger is race and sex!
People on the right are upset because they feel threatened by the increasing diversification of America. And they support a billionaire who represents privilege and the 'establishment' more than anyone? And when you point out this contradiction the scream, "We don't care, we don't care, we believe the way we want to believe!"
SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU. In the 1930s and 40s America was more racist than it is now. But people really got hurt, not faux hurt, by the depression and the war and pulled together for the common good. You know sacrificed and stopped belly aching and trusted the New Deal that saved our ass.
People on the left are upset with Wall Street, but have no problem with their pension funds and investments that are with Wall Street. They too talk the talk, but the walk is it is all Washington's fault. This mess we caused!
It is not all Washington's fault. WE are the problem. We are lazy, don't read, let media inform us with literally no effort to do anything about it. Let's take Fox News and Right Wing radio for a second. Millions use that as their source of news, period. And Fox, licensed as an entertainment network by the way, works overtime to create the anger in the populace. Fox News, owned by a multi of-billionaire, who Hates YOU!
That's right, he hates you! The right has an establishment, Trump is one of them, and they literally are playing all of you like toys!
And we, the American public, refuse to accept reality: 1. The climate is changing as we are beginning to suffer from it. 2. We continue our insane infatuation with cars and trucks refusing to move back to trains. 3. We refuse to acknowledge that we are a collection of communities, but go to our houses with our guns and shut the world out. Then we react with anger, like spoiled children, EXPECTING THE SAME ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAS SCREWED US TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HELP US? Trump is a billionaire for Christ's sake! 4. And we vote for conservatives who lie to us, swindle us, cut programs for us and our children and get rich on our stupidity. If Governor Snyder could have done the swindle with the water in Flint, potentially killing hundreds, without a qualm, then what do you think he will do for you? He hates middle class and poor people...they all do!
It used to be we, the middle and lower class, at least had a healthy skepticism for the rich. And their sometimes were retributions. The rich lived in gated communities and didn't travel much during the Depression..because there were some who tried to literally kill them. And they were punished. The marginal tax rate was 90% for a long time. Only when Reagan came along was it change...and we lost our way, forgetting who the real enemy is.
Does this mean we vote Democratic blindly. Of course not. But you will find the Democratic Party is not the party of your parents. It has become much more inclusive. And you cannot be a democrat unless you accept that, which means you finally come to grips with the sickness that has afflicted this nation for centuries: white supremacy. The Republican Party is now the party of white supremacy.
That is what this is all about!
If you can look in your hearts and realized THIS is the core of your anger, and realize their are strong forces that have for years been USING that to manipulate you, we all will be better off.
The problem isn't Trump or even Clinton....the problem is US!
