Because the aforementioned billionaires, and previously multi-millionaires, have been spending untold billions over a period of nearly a century to keep them trapped in a propaganda bubble.
Most of the voters who vote Republican are usually rural. They’re the people out in the middle of bumfuck no where, with their farms, their farm animals and what little family they have. And all that they can afford are things like dial-up internet. So they’re completely out of touch with more ‘civilized’ people who’re in towns and cities.
And even so, there are people who are completely nuanced and naive to what is before them even with better access to information. They can’t and won’t challenge their intellect, they won’t question information as to what’s infront of them. Nothing. Just deliberately clueless and oblivious.
because trump appeals to them. the democrats don’t, and tend to shit all over them as being unworthy pathetic losers for not having college degrees and high paying office jobs.
Can you give us an example of Democrats shitting on people for not having college degrees and high paying jobs? I’m asking because can certainly quote wealthy Republicans shitting on people for being poor, through their words and actions, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a Democrat just up and insult someone for not having an office job.
I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product… So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again’, was looking backwards,
Obama:
Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
John Kerry:
You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq
These are slip ups, if you search for coded ways they describe their opponents, you can find a lot more “low information” and “uneducated” examples.
Remember Joe the plumber? He was a reaction to republican voters feeling unrepresented as blue collar workers.
This kind of class contempt absolutely isn’t unique to Democrats, but their obsession with courting higher educated voters has branded their contempt for those who aren’t.
Thanks for answering. I could see how people would read into these quotes as looking down on people without college degrees, but I feel like they would come off like that if you were already looking for it. These seem pretty mild compared to the loathing Republicans have for educated people and Trump saying that smart people don’t like him.
I’m not really convinced that Democrats “shit all over” people for being uneducated the way that was described, especially since I’m seeing it now directly from Trump.
I understand that it’s the long-standing sentiment of the Republican base too think that way, but it also seems like these people are bitter about not getting to go to college. So someone told them that the Democrats look down on them for not going and the Republicans say that it’s ok and boom, you have someone voting red forever. It’s ironic that they are voting for the party trying to gut the thing they initially wanted, and hating the party that (at least provides lip service) for making education easier for everyone to get.
Why do the working glass poor vote Trump

Because they’re fucking stupid.

Hillary was probably the worse:
