Trump 1st joint session Tuesday 9:00pm est

[bouncy]

I lived in Pittsburgh for the last 3 years. I went to law school with upper middle class whites who thought they were victims while they were preparing to make 120K at Reed Smith. But who still blamed Democrats for their underacheving cousins having to work at a bar. My school was down the block from a clinic that primarily dealt with heroin addicts, I saw these folks on a daily. These same people were at Trump rallys and paraded confederate flags on their shytty cars. Being in Pittsburgh gave me valuable insight into the fragile psyche of white middle america in a way I wouldn't have been able to if I had stayed home in NYC.

Trump's protectionism works because it promises these white people something they feel they DESERVE. They believe in meritocracy so fukking much that they believe that they have been screwed over and they do not understand that their skills no longer have as much value anymore. They believe that if only there was a structure set up to show off their hard work they and America in general would be so much better off. Protectionism provides Trump with a long versatile line of villains. The Trump administration understands white middle america alot better than you do based on what you have articulated in your post.

Banking on "everything will backfire" is a losing strategy and you don't have clue how much these people are eating up this protectionist bullshyt. Economist on the left and the right long feared someone like Trump coming along, but they never thought it would happen in their lifetimes with such vigorous rhetoric and sincerity attached to it. Internationalism/Free market trade was thought to have won the intellectual battle decades ago even if there was some resistance amongst the general public, but they never thought Bannon/Trump was going to exist this quickly and win over people this effectively.

You didn't read my post with logic, just emotion.
Of course those people did those things, because they had excuses that could help them believe their lies.

If you read my post with no emotion, you can see this is what I wrote:
"The weakness of the trump administration is they are out of touch with how things are NOW! They have a view of the world from the 80's, and 90's, and their plans show it."

His plans will ruin these people lives, and they can't blame no one because the republicans are in control!

You may say no one saw him coming, but I did, and the reason I saw him coming was because of the exact reasons you gave! I just looked at who was going to be the new boogieman, and once I saw the consistency in their arguments, it was clear as day it would be immigration. I study history, just to see how my enemies move, this way nothing they do will shock me.

I already know where this is going, so it doesn't worry me, I'm just worried about people who won't see, and not play the game right.

what did he say?

he basically is trying to look bipartisan and give trump props but also toe the line and says he disagrees with the speech. basically he's a loser ass pandering ass nikka who at the end of the day is more about tv time than ideologies

Democrats ultimately can't continue to pander to people they already have. Minorities aren't the ones who have to be swayed. It's buttfukk America that has to be convinced otherwise.

Nah, did you see that article @Abogado posted a week back.

Democrats base is large and sound enough they just have to run the right candidates to make voting worthwhile.

They are taking the high road. The tone wasn't awful, and it was easily the most competent piece of content that this administration has produced to date. It doesn't matter it was all pie in the sky sh1t that will not be followed through on (in regards to the healthcare piece; the whole law enforcement, military spending, war on drugs to fill the private prisons rhetoric will be in full effect).

I don't get why yall are shocked that people are on board with trump now, its what these people do!

All of this is just emotions getting people going, but it means nothing, what's important is the execution on what trump plans, and that is going to be the thing that gets me my laugh

These fools don't see what hole they are about to dig for themselves. Their ego's, and emotions, blind them from their mistakes.

This is the last hoorah for the old guard of the old days. After this, shyt is gonna change for the better in this country. WATCH

They've been fighting change since the 60's, with the drug war, and introduction of drugs, the lowering of morals, and so much more. The problem is its hitting heterosexual whites at a huge rate then planned, but these old fools have been in their bubbles for so long, they don't see it. They really think they are gonna get the power back that they had before the 60's, but the people themselves are of a different mind. Even if they feel that way, their experiences are different then the days of old.

This shyt is gonna be so beautiful, but if you can't control your emotions, as a black person it will hurt you because you will do something that will hurt you. This shyt is nothing but a game.

Van Jones is dead to me

And that will be the final shot

White people will lose their minds once too many of their own start getting locked up with all the cheap drugs that will be flooding the streets.
