[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These people are living in a bubble.  They only consume information that supports their beliefs.  No facts can sway them.  Sadly they represent large communities so the bubble is very large.  In this bubble, Trump is smart, tariffs are good, firing Government workers is OK, and Putin is favored over their own fellow Americans, who are Democrats.

Nothing can burst their bubble as it is so comfortable to have a community that agrees with all of your views. It does not challenge you.[/quote]

We as a society could have inoculated many MAGAs decades ago when those communities were asking for help.  Instead Democrats told those poor white rural people to check their privilege. So those people got fed up and clung to a cult leader.

You simply cannot expect demoralized communities to think sanely.  Democrats pity the demoralized brown communities but hate the demoralized white communities. [/quote]

I’ve never understood the argument that the Democratic party is pro-worker. They are pro-union, hut how many workers are part of unions? Clinton is the President who screwed blue collar workers out of good manufacturing jobs by signing NAFTA and Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. It was Biden who allowed millions of illegals to pour into the country and depress working class wages. The Democratic Party is anti-working class, imo. They neither push economic policies that benefit the working class voter nor speak the came cultural language as the working class. [/quote]

Clinton didn’t negotiate NAFTA, republicans did. Biden wasn’t the only president to allow amnesty it started under Reagan.

Can you name one concrete economic policy put forth by republicans that benefited the working class?[/quote]

DP. None, of course. The Republicans don’t help the working class. But the Democrats don’t either, while pretending they do. [/quote]

So you don’t believe funding school lunches, Medicaid and other social welfare programs help the middle class? [/quote]

Those programs have existed for decades. Just because modern Dems haven't killed them, doesn't mean they have actually accomplished anything in recent history for anyone but themselves. The programs SHOULD have been expanded, but they haven't been. Social security needs to be fixed. I've known basically my whole working adult life that while I'm forced to pay into it, it will not exist when my turn comes.

What did this last administration accomplish that materially improved your life or the life of someone you know? Do not reference legislation. Tell me something real that improved in your life as a result of the administration or something Democrats accomplished in Congress.

I've asked this question so many times, and no one ever has an answer. They always point to legislation with vague benefit to some nonexistent population of people, or decades old programs barely limping along.

What have they done lately that made your life better?[/quote]

Which points in time are you talking about? Where the Dems held both houses and the presidency? I get the feeling you abide by the unitary executive theory where Congress has no role. But before this presidency, Congress matters. Laws had to pass both houses and be signed into law by our presidency. [/quote]
