(4,876 posts)this may be what brings us back from the brink. I posted this on my FB with a rant yesterday, and there was not one stupid. or pro-Wal-Mart comment.
I work with a lot of Republicans too, some of them hard core righties and even they were facepalming..
I got quite a few "I knew they didn't pay well but I had no idea" comments..
The right has pushed this narrative that people are all takers. Sitting home watching their government paid for flatscreen, talking on their government paid for phone, eating their government paid for food. The problem is that the "constituents" always believe that that narrative is about "those people".
Now they are slowly discovering that they are "those people".
The one good thing about greedy assholes is there is never enough for them, and in order to get it all they have to show their true colors.
I remember the guy who took the behind closed doors video of Romney and his 47% comment. We need more of that. The people of this nation need to see what their elected officials really think of them, what is really said in those closed, cigar and cognac filled rooms, and then we may start to make some headway.
