Repubs and their Tandian "blame the victims" mentality may have stopped working on their devout followers

Discuss.....


The establishment on the left and the right are just puppets. They are the WWF of old, out of shape shady people. They talk smack about each other in public to give this illusion that they are ideology-opposed and then they make backroom deals that benefits the corporate entity that they have to answer to that is USA.INC. Once I woke up as to how things really worked, it became so obvious to me as to how all this crap is staged to keep this "divide and conquer" charade going while nothing ever gets any better and our sovereignty continues to be attacked. I live in very interesting times but it is also sad to see this parasitic entity that is this massive corporation sucking the life out of what was a very principled people that were too trusting at times but they had honor....it is just about gone. I have to marvel at how the elites were able to divide us along so many lines. Tribalism rules the day....very, very sad.

Nice to see some people on the board who agree with me on this

Good article, especially where it points out this is unique to America in the developed world. The Republican 'elites', and that only describes their tenuous position in that political heirarchy, have used the various social wedge issues to control and motivate average Americans in the Republican party to vote against their own best interests. Each election promising this base of 'impending action' and 'we're taking our country back'. (sound familiar?)

Yet when their base hands these people power they set about throwing scraps to the voters and instead line the pockets of the rich, exclusively. The working class Republican is viewed as cannon fodder, or a peasant. And the middle-America Republican has seen this happen after each election, over and over, and they then see Barack Obama, a black man, elected president, and suddenly the promises of 'a return to yesteryear and Ozzie Harriet' by the Republicans is exposed for what it is. A scam to get votes. Thus the Tea Party. The angries who vote on the basis of social issues. Then the Tea Party was almost immediately taken over by wealthy Republicans! A double knife in the back.

Enter Trump, who says he's going to burn the whole thing to the ground and he's rich and needs no one's help and cannot be bullied by anyone. And they LOVE him for this.

Its been a long time coming, but the Republican party is going to split apart, the working class social issues people will go their own way (about time), and the money changers/worshippers will go theirs. The best part is the money changers can't win elections without the rest.

The GOP elite are Nero watching Rome burn.
 
It would be good if the GOP split.

There will be plenty of democrats who will join at least one faction.

No more powerful dems or GOP.

What a world.

Too fucking funny...you think that the demcrat party gives a flying fuck about the middle class????? Since when? They are both in bed together with establishment repubs. Demcrats and repubs serve up shit on a sandwich and tell you that it's really chicken salad instead of chickenshit and depending on which controlled side is in charge? One half is happy because "their side won" while the other side is pissed. We have never seen real government for the people by the people that govern from the ground up instead of passing acts, statutes and codes all pushed to benefit the banking oligarchs that are the puppet masters of both parties. You don't know whom the "money masters" are. You asked what could Trump do to change things in another thread and I was very specific and yet you totally ignored it....probably because you didn't understand anything I posted...for you it's just "Go team demcrat!!!"........pretty fucking pathetic.

No, I have it nailed pretty well and it exposes the fact that you don't understand the reality of the situation....btw, you are one to talk about "flaming"....there was nothing in your fool-fueled rant that could give anyone the idea that you wanted to exchange ideas.....

"The question, however, is why this is happening. And the diagnosis preferred by the Republican elite is just wrong — wrong in a way that helps us understand how that elite lost control of the nominating process.

Stripped down to its essence, the G.O.P. elite view is that working-class America faces a crisis, not of opportunity, but of values. That is, for some mysterious reason many of our citizens have, as Mr. Ryan puts it, lost “their will and their incentive to make the most of their lives.” And this crisis of values, they suggest, has been aided and abetted by social programs that make life too easy on slackers."

Krugman is correct, of course.

He illustrates well just how ridiculous and wrong conservative dogma is.

Take your left-wing hypocrisy and shove it, sideways, where the sun doesn't shine.
 
Krugman is a racist communist.

Coming from a misguided Fabian socialist like you? That is some funny shit......
