Why the fuck do we have Democrats trying to get us to sympathize with deplorables?

I warn you this is the real reason and not the one hidden by "eloquence."

When Trump won, the media spread the message that if you pay so white people and do not cater to them they will punish you. This is been the same paradigm ever since Trump voters were known as "Reagan Democrats" a.k.a. people who loved all the benefits that you use in FDR gave them, but still want to keep people of color in their place, which definitely included out of their workplace.


Granted the Internet made things worse, as you have places like 4chan littered to with a bunch of sad young man littered with people who think that everything was good until those mean old girls and people of color showed up just to get their piece of the pie.

It's not that I can't simplifies for people who got blasted when various factors like outsourcing destroy jobs. It's not that I will deny that areas, especially that "blue wall" of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio needed to be helped. But let me offer one spin here, in places like Detroit, there were many black people, blue-collar union folks, who got screwed over by GM every bit as much as the people represented by Michael Moore on the left, and Kid Rock on the right. Where were all the tears for them? That is where a lot of trump voters and apolgists for trump voters will not have an answer, or rather one they will admit to.

Now, If you want talk sending a message to them about how Trump will screw them over, now we are the actual party of the FDR and unions that will help the lifestyle they are which they had, then you might have something. On the other hand, the Democratic Party has been trying to chase the Archie Bunker Democrats, and smiling even as they stab people like Obama in the back. People are angry at Mitch McConnell, were these people when his opponent Allison blunders and crimes land ads attacking Obama that might as well been written by Steve Bannon?if you want to go ahead and try to convince the Archie Bunker voters that we're the ones who will deliver what they want, because where the party that delivered it the first time, great! But I'm sick and tired of well Democratic constituencies getting paid over and told to sit in the back of the bus because "those white people might get mad at us."

If Barack Obama did have a legit criticism, it was that he bend over backwards try to accommodate people who would either outright spit in his face, like Mitch McConnell, or people who outright would stab him in the back, which sadly didn't include many Democrats. Whoever wins in 2018 and 2020 needs to realize this: we tried reconciling, we tried asking but the only thing the GOP respects is taking, and it is time to start taking. The GOP wants to go ahead and fight the Civil War yet again?, we need to remind them why they lost.

It's times like this I sincerely wish that we hung Jefferson Davis and shot Robert E. Lee.
