I can’t argue with this.

Every day I have to marvel at what the billionaires and FOX News pulled off.
They got working whites to hate the very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, free healthcare and the power to fight back against big banks & big corps. It’s truly remarkable.

The GOP has been working there base since 1980, that is almost 40 years of indoctrination. With social media, and Fox News spinning 24hrs its a constant barrage to the tin foil hat set. Though with Trump we now know the Enangelical Right will sell there soul to a ***** grabbing conman. At the very least they have been exposed as the biggest hypocrites on the Right.

Two things stand out.

1. The craziness of blaming the people with the least amount of power: blacks, immigrants, gays, women, liberals; for all of society’s ills.

2. That we would be the most socialist country on earth if all the “free stuff” went to only white people.
 
Propaganda works.

Guys like the Kochs have so much money they just steamrolled the country. They hired a bunch of scientists and built the best propaganda machine in history. They have places that brainwash people (Pence went to one). When tv news cut the budget, in the 80s, they started sending out news packets without even being asked. If you want to a real think tank, they'd want money. But inside there would be reportage, video, everything you needed so you could go home before midnight. They have their fingers in a thousand pies, literally.

I love thousands of miles away from them. After we passed gay marriage, they bankrolled a referenda to kill it. They spent a million bucks, about ten times what we usually spend on referenda. It worked. The next election we came back and voted gay marriage again.

But you have to wonder why they were ****ting on us. After that, I started paying attention. There was a small city that needed to update their zoo. The Kochs spent a small fortune to shoot the measure down.

They are extremists that want to run the country from the shadows. They offered to computerise Republican voter rolls. When it was done, they weren't going to give them back. Voter rolls are second only to money as the lifeblood of politics. They were trying to turn the Republican party into their handpuppet. It went to court, and the stench got national attention, and they slunk back into the shadows. They already have enormous influence in the party, this was them trying to elbow out other rich guys.

They do things for Supreme Court justices that would get any other judge thrown off the bench.

You really can't believe how f***ed these guys are until you look into yourself.

Nice straw man. No one is doing that so I dont know why you have to lie and pretend they are.

Again, you are the only person on the planet making these arguments.

Trump was scapegoating the day he started, calling Mexicans rapists.

We are in a historic resurgence of bigotry and racism.

We are not, but I know the loony left has convinced themselves otherwise.

You're side does it constantly. They even blamed the mortgage crisis on black people.

Your list only needed to include liberals, namely the white, power elite on the left. It's also hilarious seeing the people watching Morning Joe, Maddow, O'Donnell and all the other leftwing puppets, talk about propaganda. That is ironic in the extreme.

They are so utterly deranged that they've left the realm of reality. All you need to do is listen to the apocalyptic nonsense they spew daily.

Are there no Mexican rapists? Did Trump ever say that all or most Mexicans are rapists? Is it possible that Mexican rapists (or other criminals) have entered the US illegally? What race are Mexicans?

Funny, nobody on the right is saying that the Constitution or the republic is in peril. That only comes from leftwing pants wetters.

If you think the republic is in peril, then you are utterly delusional. Now, if we let the left pack the SC, open the borders wide and start creating new states, then yea, things will most certainly look bleak.

Closer to truth is that the "billionaires and FOX News" got people to vote against people that want to raise their taxes, give government more control over their lives, ridicule their religious beliefs, and resort to throwing around terms like "racist", "bigot", "homophobe", and "xenophobe" over differences in policy. You know...got people to vote against the very politicians saying "four more of the last four".


And yes, based on the way the voting block has behaved over the last 20 years, I do find that remarkable. I was sure bread and circuses was going to be par for the course for the foreseeable future. I'm thankful I was proven wrong.
