BUSH 2112 posted:meh, making fun of these people doesn't make someone an rear end in a top hat. it's possible to feel bad for people's self-inflicted misfortunes and hope for the best for them, while still laughing at their terrible judgment because a literal child could tell that trump would be a terrible president. I have a lot of friends who are grade school teachers. One day one of them started sending me snaps of some writing exercise to the presidential candidates. Every single one of them read along the lines of "dear mr trump please become president and build the wall and keep all the illegals out or we'll be doomed" Come to think of it I don't think I've ever met an inherently liberal/smart kid.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:It's going to be really strange over the next couple of years to see the cycle repeat: the racism of cutting welfare, the realization of their own welfare being included, the rage at their ideas of white supremacy being neutered because skin color is just a way of Republicans having the poor eliminate themselves, and then a bunch of people going into white supremacy because their parents died poor and destitute while 'all of those <insert slur here> are riding around in their Caddies while my good, honest, hardworking parents died!' While ignoring that their parents were on government programs their politics eliminated out of racism, but never mind that. Republicans who make more than $50,000/year don't care about social welfare programs, and they tend to vote more often than poor people of any ideology. I think the left hasn't figured out that there are simply many more middle-class conservatives who just don't wanna pay taxes for a more robust social welfare system than they think there are. Why should they? They have insurance with their job already.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The Left has, libs haven't. It's infuriating that every piece of data showing that Trump's real support base was in the middle classes still hasn't sunk in to the Democratic mindset. They'd still rather chase suburban Republican moms than court the poor. Let's talk about the title of this thread then. Is it even relevant? I feel like the news likes to tout these one-off stories centered on poor Trump voters, but there are millions of conservatives out there who are far and away not in the same economic state of existence. And they seem almost divinely immune to Overton windows and "pendulums". Even pro-life Democrats like Heath Mello can't martial their votes.

Al! posted:if he survives the first artillery barrage that is one of my family friends (pseudo-cousin if you will) is a commissioned officer in the Army and super pro trump. He was stationed in Korea like all last year. One night he awoke to a very loud BANG sound, which he thought was an artillery strike. He lied in his cot for a minute hoping for a swift death, because the place was estimated to sustain over 90% casualties if a barrage from the North were to commence. Turns out it was just a blown electric generator. He can't wait to go back!

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:hm actually i'll just keep living in the Liberal Havens and, since I make a bunch of money, not deal with the consequences of any of this. And, if for whatever reason I stop making a bunch of money, I'll just kill myself. Bing bing bong, so simple. Right? Here's a dose of realpolitik: two of my cousins (conservative) already have like 5 kids each, and they're not slowing down (pretty sure they're tacit quiverfulls). I'm probably the only left-leaning person in my extended family, and my wife and I don't plan on having kids anytime soon.

ikanreed posted:My position isn't between those positions at all. I view both as pointedly naive about complex causes reducing them to simplistic absolutes. Please continue speaking truth to power. Coming from a religiously conservative private school that last one is the most egregious. Hundreds if not thousands of first time voters (majority of them girls actually) expressing their choice of Trump simply because he’s in the “pro-life” party. Meanwhile Heath Mello gets thrown under the bus for the crime of being a Catholic democrat.

*me, a serious reporter* Some folks on a comedy forum are discussing your impending death by guillotine unless you voluntarily distribute your wealth. they go by such names as “comedy bliss option” and “cuntman.net”—do you at all feel threatened by these notions? *the billionaire I’m interviewing crosses legs, steeples fingers* I think you just answered your own question.
