President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Stain-
No. The profession might be in hospice, but it was thriving not too long ago.
There is an undercurrent of failure that runs throughout his base.
These people are literally losers - they have lost at life and everyone knows it.
Many journalists re-invent themselves. They've been forced to do so.
Not on par with waiting for the coal industry to return.
More Americans work at Arby's than in coal.

 

I'm not employed in a dying industry. I got out. And, yes, people can be quite successful without a college degree.
If you read my post, you'd notice that I mentioned the education statistic not because it says something about the resident in question but because the GOP routinely mocks educational institutions and derides the "elites" who populate them. It has demonized education and intellectual pursuits. Therefore, those with such degrees become punching bags. Palling around with terrorists, a phrase your vp candidate unfairly dropped on Obama, is now another badge of honor for people like this guy. I know that area well. I know how it is set aside by GOP candidates for rhetorical and electoral effect.

 

Re: good people. My sister and brother in law take drug-exposed black foster kids that no one else will and adopt them. They're up to six, plus their own biological kid, all under the age of seven.

One voted for Johnson and the other kept President blank, but there was an awful lot of reveling in Clinton eating shit on election night.

I give them the benefit of the doubt of simply misunderstanding what they are cheering for.

 

The best allies.

Syria’s Assad has become an icon of the far right in America

 

Many of those "elites" SHOULD be mocked. Indoctrination, not education, is their pursuit. It's fucking laughable what is going on at colleges across the country.

 

Those dummies.

 

A few used-car salesmen in his sleep, I assume.

 

Nice generalizations there.

 

I wonder if there's a money trail leading from these white nationalists in the USA back to Putin?

 

I can't imagine you would ever generalize.

 

I can't fathom how disillusioned you have to be with life to become a fan of Bashar Assad.

 

What an uncharacteristically busy Sunday on this thread. Something's missing, though. Needs more @MisterCreosote .
