I detest Trump but describing all his voters as thick is akin to calling David Copperfield fans the same.

I’d like to note in my analogy the illusionists are the team behind Trump and he is the Tiger and we all know how that turned out 🤞

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said that.

I said either thick or racist (or both)

Seniors voted to cut social security.
Women chose to limit their own rights.
Immigrants voted for mass deportation.
The poor supported tax cuts for Billionaires.
Police backed a 30x convicted felon.
The Army backed a draft dodger.

Now don’t tell me that ain’t either next level hate or next level stupidity.

You’re right I actually can’t grasp the level of stupidity of these people.


Oh well, in the words of the joker “you get what you f*cking deserve”

And I live in Britain mate where identity politics is alive and well, and we’ll make sure it stays that way.

Plus anti Trump demos beginning this weekend in the UK, let’s go!

Here's a good analysis

https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/identity-politics-isnt-working

- Identity politics — viewing racial groups as homogeneous “communities” to be targeted with appeals to collective grievances — is not an effective way of winning over Hispanic (or, probably, Asian) voters.

- People care about inflation more than about unemployment.

- The educated professional class has become dangerously out of touch with the rest of the country.

Take note of that final point Automatic

That's exactly what Trump, the Tories and the right wing thrives on. If it wasn't for identity politics they'd never get in power. A very apt description actually.

The educated professional class has become dangerously out of touch with the rest of the country.

What a load of nonsense honestly. This Trump win gonna be used to justify all sorts of genius statements.

"Dangerously out of touch"

Worked since I was 16, never claimed benefits, never asked anyone for anything, never blamed an immigrant for any of my problems.

Imagine that.

The problem to me is that races are clumped together.
What follows is just my experience.
For a decade I worked for a Jewish man, and knew his family. I genuinely loved them all.
Living in Burnley I lived next door to a driving instructor and family who became friends. They left and s family from Pakistan moved I. She didn't speak the language and him not well. So finish of chats about footie, card politics etc.
Moved to France, two best friends from Morocco, plus two from Syria.
The upshot is I don't give a toss what colour they are, but what personality they have, and conversationl skills.
It's do I like them or not.
Nowadays if I day I I don't like Mr.X it's because I've racist.
If I do I'm woke.
Surely we have to react to what's in front of is in any colour.

Nah its still the same once you logoff social media.

Ok that’s fine, but for me, you can either be a Tory/Reform/Trump/Brexit voter/Zionist or you can be a decent person, but you can’t be both.

Well I'm labour,anti Trump, anti Brexit, Zionist unti six weeks ago.

It's just so funny that there's a question on their citizenship test "who is above the law" where the honest answer is wrong.

You can be none of those things and try to convince others of the same by engaging and listening to them.

Or you can be none of those things and set a poor example so that other people don't want to be the same as you.

The latter is frequently done by people who are dangerously out of touch with the rest of the Country. Brexit, 14 years of Tory, Trump. It's staring them in the face. I'm really not sure what is is that's going to stop you doing this for the next 5 years so we end up with a Reform govt. Time to change the record.

Meanwhile I saw this on Twitter:

'Republican strategist Sarah Longwell on NPR talking about public opinion of Trump’s tyrannical posture and she just said:
“When I ask voters in focus groups if they think Donald Trump is an authoritarian, the #1 response by far is, ‘what’s an authoritarian?’”'

Mike Amesbury, charged with assault
Geraint Davies, charged with sexual harrasment.
Fiona Onasanya, sentenced for perverting the course of justice
Eric Joyce, sentenced for child sx offences

"decent person"

Brexit and Trump got in by the skin of their teeth.

Trump couldn't even manage consecutive terms and only won the popular vote one out of three times.

Trump's two victories were against two women, one of whom wasn't even white. When Trump up against a man he got his ass whooped.

Fack off with this nonsense. 51% isn't "dangerously out of touch with the rest of the country".

Just because Trump won doesn't give you carte blanche to excrete nonsense all over the place.
