It's like that article about some Trumper poo poo hole Midwest town having heir local Mexican restaurant owner/community volunteer deported and being upset about it. "I'm the exception" is the cry of every Trump voter as they attempt to externalize their self-loathing.

Mr. Belding posted:Boomers are unquestionably the worst generation of people the United States had ever produced and likely in the top 5 for the world. They are stupid, they are uncaring. They are self-centered and narcissistic, and they project all of their horrible qualities onto millennials. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so drat many of them that their voting power outweighs every other voting block. I do try to point out to them that they're going to be hated by every generation to come in a way what will make the Nazis look like sainted martyrs. A generation of spoiled, petty children.

Crocoswine posted:Sure, but I've heard far too many people, in my actual day to day life, talk about how they didn't vote/voted third party/wrote in a "real liberal", so I don't think that 8% is entirely because of disenfranchisement. Lotta apathy and a lot of idealistic dumbasses, sadly. Lest we forget the many, many posters on our beloved forums who constantly shittalked Hillary and still treat Trump's win as a victory.

Thinking about it, the whole idea that "racism is over" is just another case of the worst boomers assuming that their parents took care of everything for them and that they don't have to think about it. Or at least I'm making a mental note to put it that way at some point in the future. Epic High Five posted:Like for real tho, post-millenials are coming up looking even more lovely than Boomers so we need to lock in some communism and make it permanent before they become a bloc, or maybe just overwhelm them entirely like the Boomers did with GenX The 4chan generation.

HorseRenoir posted:the left doesn't have a hidden supermajority but they don't turn out at the rates that conservatives do. increasing dem turnout in elections would flip a lot of seats really fast lacking: evidence that there is a set of "leftist policies" which will produce this turnout. as much as it was a failure of her campaign to actually talk about them as well, actual lefties didn't seem to give a crap that Clinton's policies were in fact in line with what the left claims to want in many respects i honestly think that a large portion of the "left" just likes affirmation of the idea that they are better than the right, and the awfulness of the right, democratic polticians, and human suffering all facilitate this and are therefore nothing but the desired result this is certainly the conclusion one reaches if one applies the analysis of right-wing policy prevent here to the behaviour of the left as well

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:off topic, but it's fascinating to me that (in US politics) "liberal" has gone from mostly used by conservatives to mean too far left, to a perjorative used on the left to mean (near as I can tell) what used to be called neoliberal or limousine liberal? what's the current political hierarchy for these terms: It's partly a product of criticism of the classical liberal position, as opposed to communism/socialism on the left or protectionist conservatism on the right. Economically, there was a time when conservatism was associated with a position to the left of liberals, whose ideology was pro-capital and free trade and against economic nationalism. Classical liberalism hasn't really changed much, it was just conflated with socialism by both sides.

Even though the concern about fascism is real and valid, it does miss that economic nationalism which calls for protectionist trade policies, social safety nets, and exclusion of immigrants is just as real and as much a part of what we're seeing re-emerge with Trump. Misidentifying this aspect of the current trend as unalloyed fascism risks normalizing fascism the way the right has normalized socialism, and also discards the huge array of leftist rhetoric which was developed in past struggles between socialism and economic nationalism to expose the way anti-immigration sentiment is used to divide workers and turn us against our own self-interest.

I dunno, at this point the argument is kinda a creepy essentialist view which rejects the idea that working class white people can be non-racist. Like pragmatically the majority are at present, but this poo poo is just naked class hatred and as much a rejection of the working-class movement of the past as the poo poo spewed by Republicans.

Best Korea posted:I was at a family reunion this weekend and my non-voting and Trump voting relatives both wish they could have voted for Sanders, so yes you can win rural whites with UHC, a higher minimum wage, and free college for their children (so they're not doomed to the mines). Apparently they thought they were getting this with Trump, and felt Clinton talked down to them. The non-voting one said she wouldn't vote for Clinton after she said "she was going to close the mines." They like the idea of closing the mines IF there's work lined up for the miners. my general impression is that there was some degree of interplay between racism and feeling betrayed by obama letting off the bankers with huge bonuses instead of actual punishment in the financial crisis, plus the ACA being a lukewarm mess normally i'd say "what came first, the chicken or the egg," but what came first was of course right-wing spin; but the dems still don't understand that they make spinning their poo poo easy as hell and they certainly didn't in 2008
