no sir, it is the right-wing who has distorted fascism, the right has had an affinity for fascism since its inception....outrage about medical this and that is not fascism sorry...the nazis never implemented any socialist legislation, they killed off the socialist wing during the "night of the long knives" in 1934

Although I lean more Libertarian than Democrat, there is nothing wrong with elitism. The problem with America is not that it's run by elites, but that it's run by filthy hayseeds.
Oh, please enlighten us, O Wise One.

Who exactly are the "filthy hayseeds" running this country?

The Dem party used to be the party of the working man, & unions. I lived in Detroit, & St. Louis...I know this for a fact.

Remember lunch pail Joe? The guy who rode the train just like you?

No more!

Trump flipped that entire voting block from Blue to Red in a single election.

Union membership has plummeted, & gov't worker unions (Teachers) is the only ones the Libs care about anymore.

Libs don't care about Teamsters, or AFL-CIO. Blue Collar workers & union tradesmen identify more with the Republican party now.

Libs are Elitists. They are for the top 1%, Fortune 500, Academia, gov't workers...like Teachers. They pretend to be for minorities, & illegals, but that's a smokescreen because they need their votes...nothing more.

I was a trucker for a few years. 5 years, 750,000 miles. 2005 to 2010.

If you haven't been given the finger 100 times, been intentionally brake checked, and generally harassed then you just haven't been a trucker for very long, because all that is a fact of life when driving an 18 wheeler.
Now, we're heroes. Saviors! The country would starve without us!
Nah. When this is over we will all go back to what we were in the fist place - just a bunch of people trying to make a living. Nothing more. People will go back to brake checking us.



Sort of reminds me of being in the service. I was in the navy from 62 to 71, and when I was in the service we were little better than dogs. Baby Killers! Unemployable! Suckers! Girls wouldn't go out with us.
But suddenly nowadays we all became heroes! We should be honored! People line up to thank us for our service.


I just tune it all out.
