Is anyone else sick of media talking about "frustrated young white men" as if they're the the biggest demographic suffering right now, and also the reason Trump won?
Like holy shit. Everyone is frustrated and suffering. Trump didn't win because 50% of America is made up of white chuds or some shit. This election had record low turn out. The only reason Trump won is because the Dems betrayed their progressive base so badly that the only ones left voting were out of touch, old rich Dems that thought Biden was doing great because they only watch CNN, and chuds because the right has been screaming at them that the reason things suck is because of woke. If the Dems had kept their promises and protected abortion, given people healthcare, fully cancelled student loans, implemented actual leftist economic policy (not the compromised means testing shit they do) and stopped bombing people they would have won easily. Instead they tried to court these "frustrated white men" by promising to hate immigrants as much as the GoP, and look what happened.
Yeah, it's a new yorker article, so it's pure liberalism. I was tempted to post it in slop, but I thought it was funny the screaming guy mentioned Marx,
It's all good I just am extra ranty today. It's great post
Your rant was on point tho
i always felt that he knew more than he let on, nice to confirm that. i guess you can't really dissect motherfuckers the way this guy does every afternoon without reading a few things
Both things can be true. Not to be annoying or whatever...
Lower democrat voter turnout for reasons you already listed
Plus the aforementioned aggrieved white men turning out in numbers great enough to give Trump the win
Those white chuds that vote Trump aren't especially new though. They've been doing that for 40 fucking years. When Raegan came and pretty much slammed the coffin on unions in the US (which dems never made even an ounce of effort to reverse or "fix") conditions for everyone started getting shittier, but the Republicans always tailored their messaging towards like "Are you HWhite? Do you feel fucked over? Have you considered blaming... black people? Brown people? Women? Gays? If you answered yes, please vote for us and we promise to work towards liquidating all of these groups fucking you over."
So as less union jobs existed, wages failed to keep up with inflation... yeah. The class aspect of voting was gone (to the small degree it was ever there previously- do not misunderstand me) and all that was left was identity based grievance politics. Trump is pretty much the personification of identity based grievance politics (for white men, obviously). Sort of the inevitable result of decades of Rush Limbaugh... a man who adopts all of Rush's bullshit opinions and says them proudly and loudly. And democrats love talking about anything but class, so, it works out great for them too. What a shithole country this is
