I'm a little different in that I've always been right of the R's so the Democrats have never been close to me but this still just amazes me. 

A while back in this thread I asked the D's if they could explain why the D's went off the rails on the immigration issue and nobody bothered to respond.  I assume it is because there isn't a coherent response but I don't know. 

When @OrangeAfroMan says that poor and middle class people are "voting against their interests" by supporting R's I just think of this list (and lots more, of course):
  • Open Borders are bad for America but they are particularly bad for the lower classes because they compete directly for jobs and services with unskilled immigrants. 
  • Defunding the Police is particularly bad for the lower classes because they can't escape crime by hiding out in gated upper-class suburbs.  For limousine liberals it doesn't matter. 
  • Men playing women's sports is so silly that to even have to discuss it is absurd.  Same with all the "(She/Her)" and "(He/Him)" that I see in emails and whatnot, tampons in boys bathrooms, 'boys can have babies', etc. 


1. agreed
2. agreed
3. irrelevant
.
And none of these has anything to do with poor, rural people voting against their own economic interests.

comes from........ if Trump told everyone to breathe, some folks would hold their breath until they passed out
No.....not this at all.  

If Trump told everyone to breathe, the reaction he'd get is something like 
Monke Meme Ok GIF - MONKE Meme Ok - Discover & Share GIFs

No one is acting against him in a stupid manner like holding their breath to unconsciousness.  Acting against him is nearly 100% a smart move, not because of who he is, but because most of his ideas are fucking stupid.  

He is not smart or learned.
He is not ethical.
He is not empathic, at all.

I will never ever understand why anyone bends the knee to this buffoon.  

Yet here we are.
Again.

We deserve all the dipshittery and tomfuckery that comes our way.

So Title IX is irrelevant?

Title IX was very progressive and arguably prudent when it was passed.  But there's some shit going on now those lawmakers had no clue was coming.

Yeah....you don't know me.  So let's stop pretending right there.

If Trump cured cancer......yeah, I'm not even going to entertain that.  Hell, let's say he did.  The only possible way was him being shown a lab and his bumping into some graduated cylinders, causing them to fall and mix with something else.  

Yes, he's Mr. Magoo with a wig and orange face paint.
You got me.

It’s no longer prudent because we let boys pretend to be girls in sports?

Just have to disagree with you about poor rural people.   Lower taxes, lower gas and food prices, no taxes on tips or overtime- those aren’t bad things for anyone.  And that list goes on.

Let me guess - you still believe this hoax?

Polling indicates nearly 80% of Americans don’t want biological men playing in women’s sports.
The polling is clear.  It’s hard to get 80% of Americans To agree on anything.
That puts you firmly in a very small minority. You might wanna stop insulting the majority.

It should probably be revisited, seeing as how time passes and things change and the future cannot be seen.  Correct?
