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.

Sports_Freak Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM 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. Quote

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? Quote

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. 1 Quote

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... 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote
