One basic truth about Trump's America

tl;dr

That’s interesting but I don’t think Trump was elected due to racism/bigotry - it might’ve played something of a role as some people did shit themselves over having a black POTUS in Obama and that might’ve boosted someone who spewed hateful insults and thinly veiled bigotry like Trump, but the main reason that Trump was elected is that he was able to tap into the anger ordinary people feel at elites and politicians - of course Trump doesn’t actually give a shit about ordinary people or anyone but himself, he’s a con artist, and I do think his supporters are very gullible, but Trump at least pretended to listen to ordinary people and hear their concerns - the Dems didn’t and don’t. The establishment Dems basically shit on many ordinary voters in swing states and call them stupid racists if they don’t blindly “vote blue no matter who”, and they don’t even pretend to listen to their concerns. They focus heavily on culture war issues and identity politics and that alienates many swing state voters, while they ignore many important issues and basically run as Republican-lite on economic and foreign policy. Kamala ran a vague, hollow, empty campaign with almost no policy substance, I had no idea what exactly she stood for on many issues, and while I held my nose and voted for her because I knew how bad Trump 2.0 would be, I can understand why many others didn’t vote for her given that had no clear positions, that combined with her unlikable personality meant she was guaranteed to lose.

The Dems have been destroyed by wealthy corporate donors who force them to ignore or turn away from important issues that would help them gain votes from ordinary people but would mean less power and control for big money donors. The Dems losing the working class has everything to do with Clintonites and the New Democrat Coalition seizing control of the party and turning the party into a pro corporate, pro war, GOP-lite on everything but social issues party. Until the Dems embrace a progressive, pro worker, pro reform the system agenda and have a strong policy platform that differs from the establishment and the GOP on economic and foreign policy, they are doomed to lose to faux-populist loudmouthed MAGA GOP asshats because these type of candidates at least pretend to listen to a lot of ordinary people and they tap into the anger the people feel at the rigged, unjust system that fucks them in the ass, even though the GOP does nothing to help ordinary people and in fact makes things worse for them much of the time.

It is not the sole reason, but there is a very large segment of the voters who are on the racism spectrum from soft bigotry to racial/religious supremacy. It’s not because they necessarily hate black and brown people, but they have been conditioned by various parts of society (education, entertainment, news media, religion) that reenforce the undeniable racism from the past, such as the belief in western superiority, if white superiority or supremacy is too difficult to utter. Racism is the product of fear and ignorance. 

It is a fact most of the crime per capita reported in the USA is committed disproportionately by racial minorities, as well as them being the largest welfare recipients and illegal aliens. In other words, they are “burdens to society.” And the “inner-city” black pop culture plays up their sexual and physical dangerousness which generates more fear. But rather than try to understand why this is the case, it’s passed off as cultural or racial inferiority and society is better off when white men are in charge. This is the greatest factor in the culture/identity war.

They focus heavily on culture war issues and identity politics and that alienates many swing state voters, while they ignore many important issues and basically run as Republican-lite on economic and foreign policy.

It’s not fair anymore to blame the Democratic Party or the Left for being too woke for the majority of white voters’ abandonment of democratic values. Their economy was improving under Biden…see Texarkana prosperity boom…and the border was in no more crises than it has been for decades and Harris was not about to change his policies. Despite the Democrats fumbling, the most rational choice was Harris. Of course, Trump inexplicably got a lot of minority votes too and their willful ignorance probably won him the election. Trump kept telling us what he was going to do, but they heard what they wanted to hear.   

The flip side of Trump’s cult of personality is his followers’ Identity Cult. 

What are you even talking about?

The usual fog of nutty blather Psy's brain emits to avoid talking about the actual topic under discussion, which she's generally incapable of addressing.

uh, again there was an election, this is worth repeating but let's recap how ya'll got here, first you ran a senile cadaver as President until he "beat Medicare" after the coup you ran a cackling word salad spewing DEI hire, you opened the southern border as central and south America opened their jails, wars broke out, inflation skyrocketed, you used the Judicial system in an attempt to silence the political opposition, and you allowed biological men to kick the shit out of females in female sports, probably because you couldn't/wouldn't explain what an actual female is..... so, here you are

NoRevisionism

Equating western civilization with white (male) supremacy is an attempt at cultural suicide.

Men are almost 100% in charge in every civilization on Earth (except western civilization) so going to a different culture isn't going to take men out of the leadership roles. 

The left wing idea of women's rights goes sort of cock-eyed (pun intended) when the decision is made that men can claim to be women and take sweeps of championships in women's sports.

There are a lot of problems on the Dem side that they aren't equipped to fix.
