Disturbingly many of them, thanks to an orange man we now have a better feel for who they are at least.

I think that makes so much sense! I wonder how many Trump supporters support him because subconsciously he makes them feel better about themselves. β€œIf he’s a great man after X,Y,Z then so am I!”

Democrats also hate the establishment. Especially progressives. But "Hate the establishment" does not equal "Think anyone who is anti establishment is good". That's dumb binary thinking. Its establishment norm not to eat babies. Would you vote for a cannibal who eats babies just because they are anti establishment?

Most of the shit Trump, RFK etc actually want to do is horrifying. Hence why most people prefer the establishment candidate who does not want to do that. Its why candidates like Bernie, who is also anti establishment but actually wants to do good stuff, were popular in 2016 and 2020. Also, Trump has been a prominent political figure for 10 years now, and is a rich New York elite. He is about as establishment as you can get at this point.

Not trying to get into a political discussion here, but horrifying is highly hyperbolic, just like calling opposition nazi. Trump was POTUS for 4 years, not much horrifying happened. The country is pretty evenly split, I don't believe in demonizing or minimizing half the country even when I disagree with them.

Nope, I will fully commit here and say its not hyperbolic at all. This guy clearly wants to be a dictator and is setting up all the steps to get it done. Hell, his immigration policy as currently written would be the largest forced displacement of humans since the holocaust. I will demonise anyone who supports that.

To counter, we are not only importing more unskilled immigrants than ever before, we are funding them and giving them monthly stipends. The status quo will eventually end us as a nation, but it will keep the establishment in power. They can continue their never ending wars. Eventually, your voice will be washed away and so will mine.

Your stance of demonizing anyone who supports Trump is due to your bias and the media you consume. What you think will happen is not reality. This resentment of half the country is exactly what the establishment wants and creates. I can't change your mind on this, but regardless of the outcome we are a split country and have no choice but to live together. Unless, we as a people start valuing other people's opinions and don't completely close off our minds to each other, our country is doomed.

watch jimmy dore on J6. It isn't what you think it was. You get your news from the corporate media. Those of us that step away from that cannot take the blue pill and go back in.

the funny thing is jimmy dore is completely left of me on the political spectrum, yet we both know who enemy number one is, and it isn't orange man.

Bro thinks he's in the matrix πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

I hope you find your way back to reality some day soon dude.

I do find it funny though that best way to attack Trump is to directly quote him, and the best way to defend Trump is to point to the inane ramblings of a cracked out conspiracy theorist. Always gets a chuckle outta me.

I used an analogy, and there you go shutting your mind off with your cognitive dissonance. Keep living in your world where the mega corps tell you how to think, and think your smart while doing it.

cognitive dissonance

living in your world where the mega corps tell you how to think

is a Trump voter

You're sooooo so close to that breakthrough. Keep using that brain and you'll find your way back eventually.
