because if you talk to guys who are tradesmen, the MAJORITY of them are NOT socialists and more conservative politically. why? because its actual HARD EFFIN WORK , the benefits of which they EARNED and shouldnt share with some pansy ass whiny *****.
They’re also some of the most racist people of all....and I guarantee they wouldn’t like socialism, but it would be funny to sit back and watch them deal with it.

Entitlement, free stuff, sitting around time, etc..., is far easier and more appealing...and when that runs out greatly like it has in the last 3+ years, those who support the person that helped save huge money by ending that, are considered racists, nazis, etc...., which I find extremely hilarious.

what is more hilarious, in a way - actual nazis are very, very rare in the United States. and, the federal government DOES track militant people, too (i forget which agency - i dont think its the FBI).
of course few people believe in a cause whose history involved genocide, and eugenic theory.

but there is not that 'fine line', as its been said, between being a trump guy and a closet klansman or something. there is often a HUGE gap in there - but of course only the thought police liberals can be sure what someone really is thinking underneath the guise of polite Republican.

and im not really a "trump guy", either. not fully, anyway. but then, i supported barack, and GW before him, so.....

He changed a lot of Obama’s policies, so because of that, many haters love to throw the race and Nazi cards out and are so hoping the economy decimates to give SloJoe a better chance to win and get their free stuff back.

They do and domestic right wing terrorism has been the leading cause of terrorism in the United States as noted in a Homeland Security report commissioned by the George W Bush administration.

Conservative resentment and anger in general greatly increased during the civil rights movement. Nixon tapped into this in his '68 campaign and so began the GOP's Southern Strategy.
Trump exploited it greatly and it's why he has a cult of personality in the maga crowd. Their hate is all he has and the rest of the GOP latched onto it. trump called the neo-Nazis who marched into Charlottesville "good people" and that was no accident. It's one of trump's not so subtle dog whistles to the right. It's interesting that so many racists don't like being called racist and then mock being called out as "throwing the race card" etc.

curious i am to think what you thought of Mike Bloomberg? i liked him a great deal, even before he ran for prez.

i would have voted for him, depending on his rhetoric as official candidate. but no, the democrats, not the same party of your grandfather from Poland who worked in the mill and died at 70 from damage to the lungs or something...yeah, them. they ousted him because he wasnt scintillating in a rock star kinda way at the debates.

some people who follow politics have no idea how stupid they are - its a cult of personality and who gets the most "WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" at a debate, rather than substance, solutions, and real progress.

Not a fan and never thought he stood a chance. It’s interesting though how so many are quiet, especially the metoo crowd in regards to Biden, but listening to him often makes me wonder if he knows where he is. I truly believe there’s some dementia or some kind of issue with him.

It’s because many don’t really follow politics. They’re so hate filled that there reality is clouded. Socialist countries are right in front of our eyes, but reality is so clouded that they welcome it, and hope everything bad enough to oust their hated leaders matters nothing to them.

Seems today some counties will enter the "Green Phase". I would imagine hair salons and barbers as well as restaurants will be pleased, but I don't know how busy they will be. I suspect many people want a haircut.

Announcement will be at 4pm. Usually everyone already knows before the announcement, but I haven't seen anything yet.

They’ll be busy. While many are still scared to death, many are chomping at the bit to get out.

first of all, that is one of the generalizations that just doesn't make sense. "the rest of the GOP"? maybe some had, but plenty of others, not. did you actually survey every person who identifies as a trump supporter?

i think there is no doubt a 'cult of personality' working with the trump-sters. no question about it.

secondly, can you provide the verbatim quote from Trump. i have a feeling that that is taken out of context, conveniently, as often done in politics.

I’ll wager no, but still certainly looking forward to seeing it.
