As noted previously, there are two distinct types of Trump supporters: a) Amoral/immoral rich people, who, at the top echelon, donate huge sums of money in exchange for tax breaks at the corporate and personal levels, and b) working-class white people who like how Trump punishes the already marginalized: Latinos, Muslims, blacks, LGBTQs, women, the poor, and the uneducated, and who make nominal donations, a large percentage of which go to keeping their hero out of prison.
As the author of the meme here points out, Kamala Harris is in a position to spend 100% of the money she raises on defeating her opponent. Simple and straightforward. As much as I would like to see money out of politics, in relative terms, there’s a lot to be admired here.
Yes, There Is Money in Politics, But Some It Is Far Dirtier (and Stupider) than the Rest
As a financially comfortable, educated, straight white male, one might think I’m impervious to any of Trump’s policies.
I have a weakness, however, and it’s one I share with virtually every other progressive on the planet–I care deeply the well-being of other people. It disturbs me greatly to see other people suffer, especially when that suffering would be so easily avoided.
At left is a great example of a fallacy called a “false dichotomy.”
We all crave information that backs up what we already believe, and, in general, Trump supporters have this going on in spades.
When we think about it, isn’t in possible to both protect American citizens and respect the Constitution rights all people living here?
What would one expect a sycophant to say?
