They wanted better jobs and wages. THat's not winning "vicariously", silly hateful lefty.
But they didn't want to do anything to get those jobs and better wages. They didn't want to go to college. They didn't want to get retrained and re-educated. They didn't want to modernize. They sat entitled and thought they didn't have to work to get those things. They thought because they're white and Christian, they were entitled to better jobs and wages. Well, they're entitled to shit. They earned nothing. They suffered only because of themselves. They are the obstacles to these things they say they want. Where's that "personal responsibility"????
The vicarious "winning" is just to boost their egos at having been a loser their entire lives. The promises made by Reagan 40 years ago to their parents -or to them- never materialized. The wealthy didn't "trickle down" like Conservatives promised they would. What do these white, aggrieved voters expect? Talk about entitled!
And voters vote by the economy. It's interesting that you somehow didn't know that.There is nothing dumb about wanting national policy to represent your interests.Lefties like you, have been ridiculing and demonizing and marginalizing work class whites, as you are doing right here for decades.The question is not why they voted against, you, but why they haven't been voting against you for decades.
First of all, no, Trump voters did not vote on the economy. The economy was doing quite well the last two years of Obama's term. Wages were rising faster those two years than the 15 years that preceded it. Unemployment reached near-full-employment. The market set a record high. Conservatives didn't vote the economy, they voted their bigotry and misogyny. Trump hasn't and won't do anything for those people. He doesn't care about them. He only cares about adulation, so he'll say whatever it takes to get that. Trump voters have to know by now that he's not going to do anything for them. If they don't, then they're in denial and not worth a passing thought.
Well, that's a lot of crazy hate you have there, and I've seen it's like from liberals for a long time, directed at working class whites.
Crazy hate? Telling Trump voters they're nothing, nobodies, and insignificant isn't hate, it's the cold hard truth. I don't hate those people, I just don't care about them anymore. They're not worth the effort. Fuck 'em. Focus efforts on people who don't vote. That's about half the electorate there. Get those people to vote and the aggrieved, entitled Trump voters will matter less and less.
And that's why working class whites, who have been union voters for generations, were ready to listen to a republican who came along and actually offered them something.
Trump didn't appeal to anything other than their unearned white grievance. His economic plan is a joke (and is completely off the top of his head).
