“A lot of people vote with feelings in America and a lot of their feelings is racism and religion. Every single time he always talk about how he want to take away Medicare and sh-t like that... a poor white man that's getting Medicare is not even caring that he's saying that, he just cares that he hates Mexicans and he want to get rid of them. So [they're] going to keep on voting for them.”

Damn, go off Cardi.

She's right.

Yup. I watched the Netflix documentary on undocumented immigrants last week and one of the dudes on there had his wife getting deported because of her status... WHILE HE VOTED FOR TRUMP.

i'm just.. how evil do you have to be?

And it didn't even matter that her district rep Darren Soto filed a personal bill in her name to prevent the deportation. Or that she was the spouse of a fucking Marine who had done 3 tours of duty. The whole situation makes my blood boil.

Which doc is this?? Ty!

God that whole show was heartbreaking and that motherfucker was so disgusting. Would his one vote have changed the outcome of the election? No. But the fact that he voted for Trump and was therefore complicit in her deportation and ruining the lives of her and his children is so horrible. He was so nonchalant and clearly a terrible father (not shocking) based on the fact that the wife repeatedly made comments about how their 16-year-old daughter "isn't ready to be on her own" even though she was living with him.

That's the messed up truth.

This quote actually chilled me to the bone Bc it highlights how futile political discussions can be in this country. No matter how much Bernie or Elizabeth or anyone else tries to talk sense to the white working class, they will not hear it.

I'm sure a lot of people here might disagree with the sentiment, but I was listening to a podcast and the person being interviewed said that she would talk to North Dakotans (conservative working class white people were talking about) and she would present them with a potential government based solution to the problems they were having. The people's response to the solution was to be offended. The white, conservative poor folks who vote against their own interests do so because they have pride. And they believe that their own communities should (sometimes) take care of its own people; not the government.

I grew up in a very conservative part of Minnesota and I totally see it. The communities (sometimes, to those 'deserving') want churches and charity to help (some, as I said, 'deserving') people. I think it's a lot of anti-government bull shit that's ingrained.

let's not put it all on the working class. poverty doesn't make you more racist. rich white people are just as racist.

[elderpricely]

+ have a lot more individual power to keep systemic racism in place

[mzgrottesca]

idk how but ppl fall for this "everything is the lower class's fault!" shit every time, meanwhile forgetting that they too are only one severe injury away from likely joining the lower class lol the middle class rly think they're immune.

I was having this conversation with my stepmother - who is pretty far gone so I should've known better - about some policy she was pissed off about Obama implementing and I was like, "No, that was Donald Trump." We fought about it for a while and then I pulled up an article from Fox News (her only trusted source) on my phone and handed it to her. I don't know if she read it, but she looked at it for a while and then handed it back and said, "I don't believe this." I asked her why and her response was, "Because I don't want to."

It was such an eye opening moment because...how do you even argue with that?

We don't talk to each other anymore.

[xtinkerbellax]

Yea I talk about this a lot, a lot of people base everything around belief, so when they hear things they don't like, they just choose not to believe it, even if it's objective fact, and like you said, what do you do with that? They're in denial of reality.
