    Default Why the way things are.

    This is intense. Research the material yourself if you don't believe what you read here, but this woman hits the nail on the head as to one of the root causes of America's current problems.

    The right is owned by the elite. The great mass of their lemmings voted in Trump. Trump personifies the elite.

    RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.

    Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

    So all this "Republicans are uneducated, stupid, rural" is a lie. Thanks for telling the truth for once.

    Still can't comprehend simple English, can you? Republicans belong to, as in, are the property of, the elite. And that's because they are "uneducated, stupid". As you insist on demonstrating.

    His hatred for Trump has created a state of hysteria. He doesn't know any better. Pity him...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Did you read the article? This woman is on target. If you don't like what she writes, state why. If you think she's wrong, PROVE IT WITH FACTS, not opinion.

    The article describes a system created by the wealthy to turn the masses against each other, It preceded Trump by a century. It has been a slow and steady grab of power money and communications. Fox Gnus is just the last link in the chain. The wealthy bought up newspapers, TV, and radio stations to send subtle messages over and over. Fox is where they ended the subtlety.
    Trump gave a tax cut to the wealthy and corporations, selling it as a middle-class cut. you rightys bought that just like you buy it all. The poor Americans live lives of quiet desperation living paycheck to paycheck. They are in the same boat whether they are white, black,gay, young or old, gay or straight. The top 1 percent is confiscating the greatest profits the world has known. Instead of blaming them, you blame blacks or immigrants. If it weren't for that Mexican laborer working for practically nothing, you would be rich. yeah sure. You guys always look in the wrong direction. You always will. That is why we cannot win.
