I never said White America was deplorable. I only brought up the fact that the GOP is 90% white because that is why they are able to march in lockstep. Because of the lack of diversity, they are able to be scammed by someone like Donald Trump.And that is why your party lost on November 8, 2017.The Democrats did not. And why not? The thing is, Republicans are 90% white. Mostly one religion. A high percentage of the same education level.I am beginning to wonder whether this might actually be true.There is no bigger threat to American Democracy than the GOP
The Republicans became whores of the Corporatists long ago, as far back as the 1910s and 1920s, and have been banging Corporate America ever since.
Trouble is, the Democrats sold-out ages ago, as well.
It's just that they held out longer, and masked the stink better, for a couple of decades.
Democrats are everyone else. Black, brown, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, married single, conservative, liberal, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, uneducated, scientists, rich, poor, young, old and so on. With such broad diversity, they are difficult to unify. Can you really compare the two parties in any meaningful way?
You identified yourselves as "everybody else" and lost White America.
You should check the US Census for the latest demographic breakdown according to the 2010 Census.
Whites still hold the edge, and will for at least a few more decades.
You have owned White, working-class, Blue-Collar America since FDR's time.
Until now, that is.
Maybe your Elitist Twit of a Candidate should not have intimated that White America was "deplorable".
Then again, it is the fate of Man, in general, and dumb-ass Liberal-Progressives, in particular, that they never learn.
You are going to have to kiss a lot of White Ass in order to return to power.
Meanwhile...
If you think the Democrats have not sold-out to the Corporatists, then you're deluding yourself.
One need look no further than the Rich Ruling Elites like the Kennedys and the Clintons and the Obamas to understand the profound truth of that observation.
87% of lost manufacturing jobs were automated. They are never coming back and yet, he continues to say he will be bringing jobs back and his desperate base believes that patent lie. Do you believe Donald Trump will bring back those jobs? Answer carefully, you credibility is on the line.
I find that your kind tends to use Carrier as an example. The CEO of Carrier said only 720 jobs are returning, not the more than a thousand Trump claims, and only for a short time. They are taking the money given to them in perks and tax breaks by Trump and Pence and, get this, "automating". There will end up only being a fraction of the jobs and those jobs will be costing tax payers millions because of the perks.
And Trump is supposed to be this marvelous businessman. I guess that isn't the case, is it?
