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.

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.

So you are an illegal ? You have no basis for making a remark about what I make and illegals make. That thou you pretend to have made was given back due to Trump tariffs,. Everything you buy costs more. Cars are jumping in price due to tariffs. Food is going up. tariffs are jacking up prices of vacuum cleaners, pork, computers, washers, dryers,many food products and anything with aluminum. Trump also eliminated
I am sure someone as well versed as you are ,knows that the new tax laws take away personal exemptions, casualty losses, state and local taxes, moving expenses,home equity loan interest, tax prep fees and many others.
Do you feel a thousand richer?

Actually, the "alternative" news media has been stating just this for decades, and giving in depth, apt coverage to events the MSM either gives scant or no coverage.

And your deductions suddenly increased? Details, my son, details....because I just can't take you on your word. Also, I notice to date you cannot logically or factually fault or disprove the article linked in the OP.

I read the whole thing.
She's saying poor whites chant, Trump, Trump, Trump! for the same reasons poor blacks say "I'm with Her" or "Hopey Changey" although the author only mentions Trump.
It's a plug for Bernie basically. (:
If I were a voting 'socialist' I'd vote for Liz Warren. She's got some fairly original ideas. I won't of course.
