Racism is a disease
Hello 10DayUserName,
Dentists, doctors and CPA's generally make lots of money. They are well-off. Those are jobs that are often held by rich old white guys. Rich old white guys did go for Trump because they are so well off they usually have more money than they need for their lifestyle, and they often have investments in stocks and bonds. They are rich. It was correctly perceived by some of the educated that Trump would help the rich get richer. Some educated people such as these examples did go for Trump, (because they chose to look the other way at the low morality,) but ...
Trump would not have won without the strong support from the uneducated.
The uneducated voted for Trump for different reasons. They believe the propaganda. They think the reason they don't get paid more, have better jobs, more success is because illegal immigrants are taking their jobs and causing most crimes. They think it is a huge problem that crime is bad because of illegal immigration. They refuse to admit that most crimes, the vast majority of crimes, are actually committed by American citizens. That's the reality they NEVER talk about. Crime has actually been decreasing for many years. Crime which is associated with illegal drugs was actually caused by making those drugs illegal.
If dangerous drugs were never made illegal there would be no profits in illegal drugs, no gangs. People should simply be educated to stay away from dangerous drug abuse.
Extending the partial wall is exactly the wrong approach for dealing with drug gang violence. The correct approach, and the most effective approach would be to legalize all drugs, make them cheap and widely available, and to set up rehab treatment centers to deal with drug abuse. And there should also be strong government spending to conduct a vast PR campaign to let everybody know with no doubt that dangerous drugs mess people up, and anyone considering abusing them is an indicator that the individual has psychological problems which need to be dealt with. That indicates that the government should also have a massive program to deal with unresolved psychological problems. Doing so will also reduce the number of mass shootings, which are also an indicator of the same thing, psychological problems.

Hey PoliTalker. My brother-in-law is a dentist and I would appreciate it if you would stop making prejudicial, discriminatory judgments about him. Yes, he's a "rich old white guy" but he's voted Democrat most of his life and DID NOT VOTE FOR Trump. He put four kids through college and has had to work past retirement age to pay the tuition bills. And why is having investments in stocks and bonds a bad thing? I have investments in stocks and bonds and have a 7 figure net worth. Am I rich? Am I well off? Is that bad?
