7,000 words to identify what the New York Times considers white trash. Funny stuff.
what a load of....FakeNews. period.
what’s the plan?
attempt to eliminate certain segments of society from supporting Trump/GOP.
they think that if they can extract #metoo women, African Americans & millennials, Dems might win in the mid-terms.
the shift to the left is specifically aimed at attracting millennials, but might backfire with the other 2 segments.
meanwhile, African Americans are waking up to the fact Dems have used them for decades, simply to gain power, and then ignored them until the next election.
They can’t see past their own stereotypes, or their own senses of superiority.
They confuse “educated” with “intelligent.” I’ve got more formal education than most of my friends, family, associates, and acquaintances. That makes me qualified to practice a particular profession; that does not make me superior or necessarily more intelligent.
I learned a long time ago that almost everyone I meet knows more about some things than I do, and that refusing to learn from the “less educated” or “less intelligent” would only prove my own stupidity, not theirs. “Less intelligent” is relative, at that. (MY ex would probably score pretty high on an IQ test; he is intelligent in his own way. Don’t depend on him for much, and don’t expect him to be able to do anything practical, however.)
This assumption is akin to the assumption that women like me only voted for President Trump because someone else was telling us to. They simply cannot concieve that an intelligent, educated woman- or any woman, apparently- is capable of thinking for herself, of looking past the identity politics and of making up her own mind. It’s insulting.
Then again, recent events have shown just how women are regarded by many on the left. Women are apparently regarded as highly as are minorities: weak, helpless, unable to think for ourselves, unable to deal with life, screaming banshees, needing their help to get through life.
Disgusting.
