Dear White America, you played yourself. #MakeAmericaBrokeAgain https://twitter.com/ap_politics/status/943464703321362432
Go ahead and mark Wednesday, December 20, 2017 as the day that the myth of “economic anxiety” as justification for White working class people voting Trump/the @GOP was officially debunked as blatant BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA. ✅
In case you still can’t see the writing on the wall, this is EXACTLY why the fake news cyberattack (foreign and domestic) was visited upon *White people* specifically. The blind trust that comes with tribalism makes the GOP’s theft consensual. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/936978604629614592
People need to understand that this socioeconomic self-sabotage keeps occurring repeatedly because the White American majority would rather be robbed blind by the White 1% than align themselves with the majority of people of color to elect Democrats. Equality is too risky.
I wonder if they’re economically anxious this morning, or if they’re still deluding themselves that the @GOP gives a flying fuck about them or their empty wallets...
Folk don’t like being reminded of these facts, and that’s PRECISELY why I keep doing it. You’re welcome.
Seriously, 57% of White Americans voted Trump (the only demographic to give him a majority) because they allegedly thought he’d make them financially secure. I need to see the math on how many of them will benefit from the #GOPTaxScam.
Pencils up.
Also the ignorance and gullibility in question here isn’t just confined to the 57% who voted for this, because a sizable chunk of the 43% who didn’t still grant legitimacy to “economic anxiety” propaganda and think chasing the WWC is imperative (eg Bernie), so welp.
Included in this number are also the scores of White people who think “both parties are the same” and either didn’t vote or voted for Jill/Gary (equal to not voting) b/c letting Russia, the Klan and the oligarchs into the WH was a risk they could afford to take.
