Zeroisanumber posted:Nah, they're just very willing to pay a small price if they think that brown people are getting hit way worse. When you hear them whine about it like MAGA-Soybeans from the article it's because they feel like the price that they're paying for satisfying their enormous sense of racial grievance is slightly too high. Some people might call that stupidity.

Dreddout posted:I honestly think the suburban CHUD is so atomized that they can't concieve of society affecting them directly. This has always been my impression too: that redhats (among others) really don’t think of the President as someone who personally affects their, anyone else’s, lives. You vote for president to endorse a philosophy, which the election then manifests via mass hallucination. (The particular philosophy that excited them this time was racism.) This is why the idea of examining his statements to predict his actions is so alien and ridiculous to them - “seriously but not literally” and all that.

Opium was legal but it was a big problem. Also women used it a lot less, although not really sure why.

FMguru posted:One of the few lols to be found in our current hellworld is the way that businessmen (who all think of themselves sharp and savvy and hard-nosed and clear-eyed) talked themselves into believing that Trump's campaign trade rhetoric was just hot air designed to rile up the rubes, and that he had no intention of ever following though on that - after all, he was a successful businessman, just like them! Also how tarrifs aren't effective due to globalism since customers can easily find alternative suppliers.

lolouisiana fishermen TCHAFALAYA BASIN, Louisiana — The men who rely on the waters here to make a living were confident that President Donald Trump and his administration would help them clean up their swamp. But with Trump's EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, facing a litany of ethics investigations and the administration moving to deregulate parts of the oil and gas industry, their hopes are shifting to an even higher plane. "I put it in God’s hands," said Ben Bienvenu, a third-generation crawfisherman, from his fishing boat last week. "Nobody wants to listen. God will make them listen." ... About 300 crawfishermen still work on these waters. Twenty years ago, there were more than 3,000. They bemoan the lack of action by state and federal government agencies to defend the natural swampland that oil and gas companies have disrupted over the last 60 years. ... Meche is the de facto spokesman for the crawfishermen. He’s also the president of the Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association. A month after the president's inauguration, Meche told NBC news that he thought the new president would be "bold enough to make the right changes to where we start taking care of our environment better."

Obama basically governed on his campaign platform though? Most of the deficiencies came from the deciding votes in Congress belonging to blue dogs and Joe Lieberman or people projecting their own agenda onto him. The idea that Trump and Obama are any way equivalent as bait and switch candidates is dumb as hell.

the grand bargain was garbage policy and garbage politics that doesn't change that it came about in response to major dem loses in midterms after achieving a bunch of what obama campaigned on. the bitcoin of weed posted:trump and the republicans have already gotten more of their particular brand of corporate fascist agenda through than obama and the democrats even attempted to do in the two years they had an actual supermajority, lmao at anyone still defending the controlled opposition party trump's done a bunch of executive orders and appointments, which is great if your goal is to sabotage government and gently caress over vulnerable people, not so useful for enacting progressive policies that the next guy can't just undo. obama used executive orders to protect dreamers and now they may be hosed. anything that requires money must go through congress, which is why president bernie can't executive order medicare for all any more than trump can build his lovely wall
