    We have climate change, extreme disparity in wealth gap leading to poverty expanding, never ending wars, no functional right to healthcare, etc and these gaping bloviating rectums focus energy and attention on this bigoted nonsense. All by design.

      Stop thinking in terms of bigotry and see it as a business model. Simple minds don’t understand complex arguments, and some politicians give them easy answers and targets to blame. Considering that literally half of the population is more stupid than the average person, that strategy alone guarantees lots of votes. Until honest politicians won’t understand that, everywhere in the world there will be a Trump winning the election.

          Be my guest. Just consider that by putting it in terms of bigotry, you imply that it’s a bigot political position. I assume instead that it’s a trick to fool idiots and get their votes while pursuing a business agenda.

            That is a very optimistic/distanced perspective when they are backing genocide and Kristalnachting real people in US cities. At the end of the day they are disappearing and killing people backed by corporate oligarchies and right wing billionaires.

              It’s all 100% true and I agree with you, but this won’t solve the problem, which is what I’m trying to explain.

              To solve the problem it is essential to find a way to communicate with idiots in simple terms and get their vote. And no, talking about Kristalnacht won’t work with one with and IQ below 90.

      If they couldn’t attack blacks, Jews, women, gays, trans, and now liberals, then they’d actually have to do some work.

        Precisely, and a very good reason to not get into the stupid ideology of “working across the aisle”.

        Fascists are only focused on one thing.
