Republican base is made up of under educated and under employed Americans.
The base looks down on education. They deny the skills required for jobs in the 21st century. The base is a majority white. They feel whites are being discriminated against.
The base is a culture that is passing on their mind set and problems to their children.
1. Funny how when they vote dems, the Poor are the Be All and End All of Society, but when they don't they are the Rabble.
2. We do not look down on education. We have a problem with educated assholes who insult us.
3. We do not "Deny skills".
4. NOthign wrong with being white. It's a good thing. THe majority of this country is white. WTF are you talking about?
5. Whites are being discriminated against. This has been repeatedly documented. Only a liar or a fool would say otherwise.
6. All people try to pass their culture on to their children.
7. We are tying to NOT pass our problems on to our children. We are trying to leave them BETTER off than we are.
Whites are NOT being discriminated against. That is such bullshit. As a white personal, not once ever in my entire life have I lost a job or an opportunity because of the colour of my skin. I've never been publically mocked or shamed because of the colour of my skin.
Idiots like you talk about "affirmative action" programs in college admissions as proof positive of discrimination against whites, but you completely ignore "legacy admissions" which is white affirmative action.
One third of Ivy League admissions to top US colleges in 2017 went to the sons and daughters of alumni. Do you think "C" student George W. Bush attended Harvard on his own merits? Of course not. He got in because his daddy went to Harvard.
Lots of bright motivated young people are turned away from Ivy League institutions every year so that the freckles offspring of the alumni can get in but nobody rails against this discrimination. Nobody even mentions it. They just go on and on about a handful of supposedly "unqualified" blacks getting an opportunity.
I've often seen it stated in this board that Barrack Obama was an "affirmative action" student who stole some deserving white kid's spot at Harvard. I've never seen it stated that W was an undeserving legacy who stole some deserving student's spot there.
That's just white privilege.
