There sure is. Cause the people who do the majority of the producing in this nation are seeing virtually all of their productivity gains being sucked up by the top 0.1%. People who could give one shit less about this country and it's people and only care about next quarters profit statement.

The problem is both of those insurrections share a very common thread yet are split and divided by culture, geography and race. As long as that continues the major political parties will continue to play divide and conquer politics and the working people will take it up the ass.

When the day happens where both wake up and say "Holy shit! We need to work together!!" then you will see dramatic changes.

My fear is that by the time that happens that change will occur at the point of a gun and not a ballot box.

And you believe for a moment Trump would actually do that I have some prime ocean front property in Nebraska for sale that you might be interested in. No really!

Look, Clinton represents the current status quo. There is no mistaking that but come on, do you not know a sales pitch when you see one? Trump is doing, in brazen language, what the GOP has been doing to working class white males for the last 30 years in more polite language. Telling them what they want to hear. That they are great! That they are better than anyone not like them. Then if he gets elected (a big if) he'll spout a bunch of rhetoric and he won't do shit for them.

To me it's just stupid. OK...you're white. So What? Get your creamy white ass over it and try working with people who have a common economic interest as you. It sure as hell isn't the plutocracy who have consistently implemented policies over the last 30 years to enrich them selves at the working classes expense. As long as working class white males hold onto this delusion of social superiority the plutocracy will gladly fuck them in the ass...and trust me...they won't even be considerate enough to give a reach around.

Virtually all of the insurrectionists on both sides agree on this. Why is it a black-white thing and which side persists in trying to make it one?

Except for the civil war hyperbole at the end, many people on both sides agree with this. But the media, academia and most all of the political establishment persist in dividing us along those lines. They use such phrases as 'white working class' and so on. What's up with that? Don't blacks and Hispanics work too lol? Isn't that a subtle slam on minorities?

And so many people have taken the bait for so long it's affected our political system. So we are divided, just like they want us to be. For all of his warts, Trump is keyed-in on this, the establishment is well aware of it, and it explains why some of the establishment would vote for Hillary instead of Trump. People scoff at Trump when he calls himself a uniter, but this is exactly what he's talking about.

At any rate, you'll not change all of that without challenging the status quo.
 
yur racist party has divided us for decades now.


they created this idiot know nothing base of racist fools that tRump has stolen from your evil cheating lying party.

SCOTT ADAMS remembers just how the game turned. He was young and improving at chess, but the masterful kid across the board would outmaneuver Adams till the game seemed a runaway. Now, this kid didn’t want to just beat Adams; he wanted to embarrass him. “So after he’d picked away three-fourths of my pieces and I was discouraged,” Adams recounts, “he would offer to turn the board around and play with my pieces.” And then effectively “win” again.

On those occasions, Scott Adams, the creator of “Dilbert,” got insight into the type of personality that loves not only the challenge of game strategy, but also the thrill of overwhelming the competition. It is the sport of meticulously plotted domination. And that is part of why Adams believes Donald Trump will win the presidency. In a landslide.

Adams, in other words, believes that Trump himself has turned the campaign game around. On the stump, the real-estate mogul is not running on the knowledge of his numbers or the dissection of the data. He is running on our emotions, Adams says, and sly appeals to our own human irrationality. Since last August, in fact, when many were calling Trump’s entry a clown candidacy, the “Dilbert” cartoonist was already declaring The Donald a master in the powers of persuasion who would undoubtedly rise in the polls. And last week, Adams began blogging about how Trump can rhetorically dismantle Clinton’s candidacy next.

Adams, mind you, is not endorsing Trump or supporting his politics. (“I don’t think my political views align with anybody,” he tells The Post’s Comic Riffs, “not even another human being.”) And he is not saying that Trump would be the best president. What the Bay Area-based cartoonist recognizes, he says, is the careful art behind Trump’s rhetorical techniques. And The Donald, he says, is playing his competitors like a fiddle — before beating them like a drum.

Most simply put: Adams believes Trump will win because he’s “a master persuader.”

Seemed like an opportune moment to bump this article.
 
All Trump has to do is say something completely ridiculous that would favor the attitudes of a targeted group to start pulling votes from them. For example, the Mexican funded border wall. He appealed to masses of unemployed/underemployed folks who immediately fell victim to the emotion of that statement. They don't even have to believe it's possible, they just loved the thought of it, and they were hooked. Of course, these folks that got hooked couldn't or don't even want to think themselves out of the paper bag the have stuck over their heads. If someone makes them feel good, they defend them, regardless of the reality that surrounds them. Humans are irrational!
