[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]

You got things flipped

The bubble is the inside the beltway crowd and the McLean/bethesda urban elites

The servants are revolting and they can’t figure out what is going on [/quote]

But the McLean/Bethesda "urban elites" aren't the ones who will suffer.[/quote]

I’m not the PP but my God the DCUM bubble is strong.

You do not understand. The jobless, underemployed working class men of all races who voted Trump into office are already suffering. They were suffering under Biden. They suffered under Trump v1. They suffered under Obama.

They’ve reached the “smash it all up stage” because they do not have any hope. And of course McLean/Bethesda elites suffer if the stock market is destroyed. How could they not? They’ll lose value in their market holdings.

My guess is that if you polled that group, Trump’s favorability ratings under the tariffs have gone up, not down. What do they care if the stock market is destroyed? Their lives are already miserable.

DCUM Democrats struggle to understand that Trump represents a class struggle moment, in which DCUM Democrats are seen as the bad guys. [/quote]

Maybe these men wouldn’t have needed up in this situation if they had gotten a damn education or been willing to relocate for a job. Instead they were the types who goofed off in high school and made fun of people who studied hard. No one owes you a well paying job in the small town you grew up in. Smart people know you get an education and move to where the opportunity is. It’s the ultimate entitlement to think someone should bring opportunities to you. Times change and you adapt or get left behind. Screw them. [/quote]

It actually doesn’t matter how much you or other elites look down on and despise a group of disposessed young men who think they don’t have a future. It doesn’t matter how much you scorn them, how much better you believe you are than them. All you are doing with your derision and scorn is hardening the group, building it up, making it stronger.

And once you create that group, everyone experiences the consequences, because societies that have large groups of disaffected young men who feel they have nothing to lose will suffer. And make no mistake, you and other DCUM Democrats created that group as much as the wealthy Republicans did. Your scorn and derision after your support of policies that hollowed out their opportunities is just making that group stronger, little by little. [/quote]
Im a lefty liberal, and I totally agree with you. It's shameful how the Dems have left labor behind. All those MAGAs used to be Democrats. The scorn and derision heaped on working class families by Democrats (starting with Hillary) is despicable. Democrats' insistence that all Democrats embrace the entire Democratic agenda is the opposite of inclusive. I'm ashamed to be a Democrat, ashamed of my party's failure to read the room and see what Trump means to MAGAs. This has to change, and it has to change now, before our democracy is lost to the fascist oligarchs. [/quote]

How exactly did the democrats leave labor behind? This has been stated time and time again with zero facts to back up the statement.[/quote]
