Interesting thought, but I don't really see the connection between the two.  There are no doubt many dumb whites who think they are superior to the smartest blacks.  There is also no question that the wealthy and powerful spend a great deal of time and energy trying tp pick the pockets of stupid people, but I don't know that one causes the other.     

You see the connection if you look at what the Koch brothers (now brother singular) did/have done for years. They spent a lot of money on drumming up grass roots right wing political strength in the white underclass talking basically libertarian virtues - which is just another twist on anti-social welfare thus anti-underclass- but what they got from helping GOP pols get elected was regulatory relief  - the right to keep keep polluting and profiteering more. That's where the connection lies. With the religious right it's the same thing. But the targets are a little different. Moneid interests support the evangelical hierarchy on things like anti-gay and anti-abortion policies (other second class citizenships in the RW taxonomy) and again the quid pro quo for them is the religious right supporting laissez-faire economics.

Trump is going to find that no matter how strong he thinks the US is, the rest of world united is stronger, and he's doing a bang up job of uniting the world in opposition. He'll be remembered as the Saddam Hussein of the 1st world. Uniting the world against him - and unfortunately us. Fool.

Maybe Trump has finally learned his lesson 

Trump...learn? 🤣🤣  First off...he doesn't care. He's been told over and over that tarriffs would be paid by the consumer. He denies it and continues to lie. He just doesn't care. He thinks he's going to use tarriffs as leverage in negotiations. But he's a total idiot and if it costs the average American family $5000 or more a year? Well, you should just get a 2nd or 3rd job. You wanna be a patriot, right?

They can talk about what it's like to attempt a coup against the United States of America

they'll almost certainly be classic agitprop: See the mess we're in? it's all the libs fault and 'those' people's fault and everything we did would have been golden but for the deep state opposing us at every turn. And the Magats will fall for it hook, line, and sinker, because the Orange One can't be wrong, he's been saved and appointed by God.

We need to face it, the US public is too under educated to self-govern itself in a technological era. We either have to start educating people to an acceptable level of civic/economy competence, or prove Xi correct and let ourselves collapse. The problem is there is no short term solution at this point.

I’m not sure how you have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people when so many of the people are morons.

Trump's inept response to covid caused a pandemic. His tarriffs are going to cause a worldwide recession. Everything this guy touches turns to sheet.

As long as he runs away with all the ****ing money in the US Treasury, it’s all good.

Could SCOTUS possibly save up? Somebody has to hold him in check. And I still say there's no way the elections were legit. All the MAGA wins are suspect. Trump is the king of projection and all he talked about for the last 4 years was rigged elections. Projecting his plans...

Again I'll say it: they are stripping America for parts.

And to those who disagree with the Trump administration - think about what you are going to do, or try to do, to counter MAGA fascism and the oligarchy.  What are your own 'red lines'? 

And do not post those thoughts anywhere on the Internet.
