Trump's contempt for the "unsuccessful"

This. When I retired, I gave a humorous speech, much of the humor being at the expense of management. The managers were all laughing because not one of them thought I was talking about them.

They knew.

Its the continuation of the schism the rich try to drive between poor whites and poor minorities.

When Obama says he wants to help the poor, he means ALL the poor but the poor whites only hear that he wants to help the poor minorities.

When Trump rails against the unsuccessful, these same poor whites hear that he’s demonizing only the poor minorities, and that he’ll somehow take away their ill-gotten handouts from the Democrats and give it back to them where it rightfully belongs.

I’ve no doubt that the poor whites that make up a big chunk of Trump’s base knows that he’s demonizing the poor and unsuccessful, but Trump makes it seem like its not their fault. That’s why they follow him, because they think he’ll take back the jobs and money they’re deserved

This is the third time you’ve snuck in a “Vote for Johnson” thread disguised as something else, and you have yet to tell us why we should vote for him. Yes-it is true that he isn’t Trump or Clinton…but who the fuck is he when it comes to the issues? Have you got anything more substantive than “His Name Is…JOHNSON!”?

But with a name like Johnson, he’s got to have bigger hands than Trump.

I’m aware of the data. But I also have a lot of Evangelical friends. They fully get that Trump is not a Christian. They just think he’s actually the lesser of two evils. Nearest thing I can think is that it’s because he’s anti-abortion. Well, that and a whole lot of pre-programed hatred of Clinton.

Is he anti abortion? Or is he just willing to get up and say he is in front of them?
