27. Not what we are talking about
Wed Sep 14, 2016, 12:59 AM

Is it?

We are talking about life long reliable democrat voters who are turning against us.

Why?

Why do these people despise "white collar" people so much and why are they turning against the democrat party?

Did these blue collar mine workers destroy the union so someone could make 20 million this year because they only made 15 million last year?

Did these blue collar workers renig on pensions that they worked for so someone could make a few more millions next year, or drive their stock price up so other people could make a few more millions?

The money for these people has always been there, they earned it ... they died for it. It has been stolen from them, and it was not stolen by their coworkers now was it?

These people are turning against all politicians, and turning against all powers that be because they have been getting fucked for decades. People act surprised by this, what do you think is happening? How long do you think people are going to continue to be robbed by those in power before they turn on them?

You can spout all the "it's the republicans" BS you want, the fact is the system is failing anyone who is not in money. And it damn sure is not getting better.

Coal is the latest ... but for some reason it is only coal in America that is destroying the world, as those who run the coal industry are still making billions of dollars every year while those in coal country are losing every thing they have ever worked for.

But yea .. fuck them, cause they are disposable because coal is evil ... unless you are making billions as the moneyed people who control it. And it is not just republicans who are fucking the blue collar people that actually produce the shit that makes your lights turn on.

But just keep on telling them they are stupid and self centered ... maybe they will see it the way you do and come back to the democrat party, if they do not starve to death.
