THIS is why Trump is winning in the Republican presidential primary, and why poor and middle class Republicans vote against their own interests. It's the hate. It's the struggle against the other. It's being able to see others doing even worse than you are.

It's a bastardized species of pride. Why are Caucasian male dying younger than other groups? Because of this mindset that it is better to be barely better off than people you hate rather than work with them to make sure everyone's living conditions improve. Satire warning.

Man Happy to Be Poor if Black and Brown People are More Poor

BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, a Massachusetts man with a record of following right-wing media declared he was happy to be poor as long as Black and Brown people were more poor than him. Thomas Basil - a Republican, construction worker, and married father of two - asserted being poor and working himself to death were acceptable, as long as there were people worse off than him to look down on.

Mr. Basil continued, "Basically, I'm happy to live in a shed without a roof eating a rat on a wire hanger, as long as Black and Brown people don't have a shed or a wire hanger to stick a rat on. Ideally, they wouldn't have rats around."
