And they're distracted by the idiotic "culture wars" that the GOP perpetuates to keep their limited intellects occupied.
Just like the NC bathroom law which reared it's ugly head during election season. Foolish people backing a law because they hate transgenders. Yet for some reason they were unaware that in the same bill it blocked raising the minimum wage to $15. Another lesson on how the GOP gets the Republican working class to vote against their own self interest.
Yes, but lets talk about why working class Republicans focus on the dust in the corner, like food stamp fraud, and not the fat elephant ****ting down the entire room, like the gifts to the donor class who spend billions in lobbying to get trillions in favors.
Maybe you should make your case first. You have declared a truth that most people find laughable.
This has always fascinated me. Huge numbers of working class republicans talk about how free stuff is terrible, after 40 years of a massive transfer and redistribution of wealth and income from the working class to the big money donor class. Free stuff is flowing to the donor class in the forms of corporate welfare, trade deals, wars for profits, bailouts, anti-trust laws etc etc etc, keeping the donor class on top while laughing at the working class. I just dont get it. Why are so many republicans not bothered by the elephant in the room ****ting the hole room down but instead they continue to focus on some dust in the corner like food stamp fraud?
Why are they not bothered?
Largely due to the targeted and highly successful campaign of the Dumbing Down of America.
We are bothered. Especially when the government picks and chooses winners and losers. But a lot of the whining (not all, but a lot) is nonsense. Having money taken from your paycheck while you work 50+ hours a week so some do per can sell their food stamp money for pennies on the dollar for crack or watching a non English speaking family of 7 getting medicaid, welfarw, WIC, etc while talking on iPhones and driving a newer car then me.

For the same reason they have no problem spending other peoples' $$$ supporting the MIC while singing the blues over Democrats spending other peoples' $$$. They're nothing if not hypocrites.

Are you going to vote for Clinton? Let's hear you say she shouldn't be president, unless you're a hypocrite.

Thank the teachers unions. Some of the Democrats biggest contributors.
