Either consciously or unconsciously? Something I (a McMullin voter) felt after the election about (a lot, not all) Trump supporters who have hijacked the Republican party:
A lot of them are white men from the damn north states like Ohio and Michigan, who are bitter because daddy and granddaddy's job doesn't exist anymore and will never ever come back, because the policies they loved so much in those damn north states have killed whatever remained of their job that hasn't been taken by technology, and the jobs moved south to the Old Confederacy, but instead of:
A. Getting retrained and and getting a better job
B. Moving to the south and trying to get back their old job
Or
C. Biting the bullet and getting a job at McDonalds or Radioshack that doesn't pay $50000000(hyperbole) an hour like they were apparently used to
they decided to go on food stamps, welfare, complain about the "elite" and minorities, while not realizing that now the "elite" are the ones paying their bills, and they turned it into a lifestyle where they just complain on and on about how their problems are everyone's fault but their own.
Is this accurate in any way or not?
I’m a minority and I would agree that white Trump voters in northern states are entitled to a good job, as are all working class folks. We’ve been through the whole retraining debate before and pointed out it’s shortcomings. Yes it’s been the elites who have been the problem, for callously disregarding people’s livelihoods in the name of capitalism. I’m no socialist, but when the average income hasn’t increased by much in 40 years, while per capita GDP has, we’ve got a problem. The American people aren’t getting back the productivity we put in. So screw those elites, and the members of both parties who hold them up. What we also need is to get the corrupting influence of big money out of politics so we can restore democracy.
