I was poor, but a GOP die-hard: How I finally left the politics of shame

[superunknown23]

Soon, they'll start saying "get the guvment' hands off my Obamacare"

 

[Serious]

Btw after working at a super market for as a cashier, I can tell you a shytload of working class people from all demographics use ebt, I'll say except maybe Asians by and large, unless they were FOB and.uneducated...

And honestly k never thought anything of it...People have to eat and.have families to feed, it's really not that much, but it certainly helps.... I wish I had that luxury as a broke student in a sense, but I'm sure other households needed it more than me....

These guys really are dumber than your average. I can't give him props for learning a bare truth that was always in his face at 40

I feel you, but I can give him props. For a 40 Year Old Man to change from a life long way of thinking not easy task.

It's not about giving him dap, breh. I posted it because it's an insight into the thought process of the many millions of conservative poor Americans who vote against their financial best interests and decry social nets while taking welfare and other benefits.

Honestly, this guy sounds like the poster boy for a lack of personal responsibility. And he looks like he hates blacks.

 

[wheywhey]

White people routinely vote against their own interest. They aren't being racist when they say that college athletes shouldn't be paid; they are just parroting what they have been told. Those of you old enough can remember the OJ trial and how shocked white people were that money buys justice. A similar thing happened with the Casey Anthony trial. All of the people on death row were too poor to pay for an attorney and used a public defender. All.

White people routinely vote against their own interest.

usually it is because two interests, in the hands of an adept politician, are contradictorily apposed
for example cheap healthcare for everyone sounds great, but what if it means that minorities would get healthcare too? what's a white supremacist to do?

in the past it was easy to easy to single out minorities from the benefits of American society(see social security at its inception being devised with the exclusion of household workers, housing loans etc....)

But nowadays politicians

gotta troll the shyt out of the public in order to have their way with their coffers

, essentially "social" issues are constantly dangled out in front of the donkeys to make them run away from their own economic interests

this is not just white people, but since they are majority in this country, they are pandered to the most and we get to see this exemplified with them the most (I'm looking at you fastest growing demographic Hispanics

, you're next!)

here's is my favorite gif this week which I can't find a good reason to post anywhere

see what I did there

my grandmother had a saying: never listen to a man with a full stomach. And never listen to a man on an empty stomach. People like him are the worst.

 

[Jhoon]

Its not that puzzling. Snakes are known to swallow their own tail. White people will be damned if their belief system is to be threatened. [

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

why do these idiots give money to politicians anyways???? your poor and got a family to take care of, why give your money to a politician????

Same reason there are churches on every corner

You sell someone a dream and they will be a loyal customer. For poor white Republicans that dream is becoming rich by destroying entitlements that keep them from sinking deeper into poverty

shyt's
