| People who still have an issue with Platner are class conscious and look down upon the working class. |
One of the things that bothers me the most about Platner is that he’s cosplaying working class. Dude went to Hotchkiss. His dad was a lawyer and his mom owned a restaurant. |
And yet, on the flip side, he also faces criticism that’s he’s not truly working class, having gone to Hotchkiss for a bit & with his dad… We all just need to get behind him & get rid of Collins!!! |
Maybe this situation is not that unusual today. We hear talk about kids getting into trades with parents who went to college and professional schools. |
A lot of the kids who went to Hotchkiss, Sidwell, et al in the 80s and 90s couldn't get their kids into those schools today absent coming from a long line of legacies with big trust funds. Those schools now focus on enrolling much wealthier families than the mere children of doctors, independent practice lawyers, or local small biz owners. |
The GOP has made a whole thing of cosplaying "working class." Full of billionaire Congressmen and Senators who play up folksy schtick and grossly misrepresent reality and convince the actual working class that it's "common sense." |
Actually Trump has lost a lot of support from people with only a high school education or less. The majority of working class voters are actually opposing Trump. |
Platner (BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, please don’t delete the post and sanitize the thread) is rated 100% disabled by the VA for PTSD, which causes neurochemical brain damage- sometimes permanent- and mental health/behavioral problems not unlike what is suffered by some stroke patients. I’ve spend decades working with PTSD and other mental health patients, and just over a decade with stroke and dementia patients, so have a volume of real world experiences with the personality and reasoning issues that these various conditions cause. Just keeping the record straight. |
Nazi tattoo. IOKIYAD |
Funny that the Democrats love to refer to Trump as a “Nazi” and yet embrace this guy with an actual Nazi tattoo. And not just any Nazi tattoo. It’s a “Totenkoof” tattoo. It’s the tattoo of the Nazi guards who stood watch over concentration camp watchtowers and purposely shot Jews within those walls. This specific tattoo the Totenkoof is specifically a hate symbol that he chose to keep on his chest for 17 yrs. |
I know. It’s the height of hypocrisy. |
Hey aipac troll you are conflating things. His disabled categorization is a VA benefit term given his tours of service, and doesn’t necessarily imply he can’t or shouldn’t work or that he is now mentally disabled. He’s clearly quite smart and coherent and you just hate that he doesn’t support Israel |
