I keep thinking about the dangers posed by Corporate Dems who are socially liberal

[TBF]

2. I'm actually married to one -

and he loves Hillary of course. I've come to some conclusions over the years and I simply think of him and many others as today's anti-psychotic republicans (as opposed to the tea party extremists). I think some of it is just the way you are raised. I was brought up in a small town with parents who belonged to unions. My family was full of small business (farmers) and factory workers - and if you go back far enough to the old country (Germany/Poland) they were farmers, small shop owners, or servants of some type over there.

My husband was brought up in a sort of Beaver Cleaver environment - with a decidedly more middle class lifestyle. Professional father, mother doing PTA etc. He is a kind person in general (and very open on social issues) but he has a corporate job and doesn't seem to understand the power that corporations have been given over the years. Also does not really understand what it is like to live in poverty. He tries to when we talk about these issues but the American Dream thing is very much ingrained and he doesn't see how people are trapped in poverty. He can understand the more glaring issues - he knows "Jane" is more likely than "Lakisha" to get the interview, but he doesn't really understand that "Jane" with her private school background is also going to get the interview before public school "Charlene". He doesn't understand how the working class who used to work in manufacturing are now relegated to Walmart at best, and seems to think if they just hang in there and make wise choices it will get better.

It is a difficult thing we are dealing with and we are seeing the split very clearly in this party.
