Yeah....But A Little Racism Always Helps

The question my friend is why are they so eager to buy into the myth?

Columnist drops the mic on young Trump voters: ‘You have been duped’

“If you’re a Trump supporter struggling to keep up with your rent, pay for your medicine, feed your kids, and maybe buy a small pick-up truck on long-term credit, then there’s a good chance you’re directing your anger, resentment, and disdain at exactly the wrong people,” Weathers wrote. “You have bought into myths designed to protect the rich and feed their greed. You have been duped.”

“Your enemy is the Wall Street broker and the oil tycoon and the $40 million-a-year CEO who are sponging up the wealth before it ever trickles down to you. Your enemies are folks like the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, the DuPonts, and the politicians they have in their pockets,” he continued.

“The super-rich want you to direct your resentments down the economic ladder at others, like yourselves, who are simply trying to get through the month without going hungry. They want to distract you from looking up the economic ladder at those who are exploiting the labor of folks just like you in order to pad their penthouses with more gold-plated trappings,” he wrote.

Those damn Amalekites again ??

The "Amalekites" were the Klingons of the OT.  Just made up villains for the fucking "Israelites" to knock down.

File under the heading "Bullshit Makes The Flowers Grow."

They need the masses to keep doing what they're doing, so they have to convince people to punch down. Poor people on welfare are supposed to be the problem, not the filthy rich people that just recently crashed the economy, and got bailed out because they're too big to fail. Nevermind that if you're too big to fail, you're too risky to exist.

And despite their chosen candidate being infamous for all this shit (except for the oil tycoon thing) well before his political views got any sort of publicity, and that he makes more than $40 million per year apiece from no less than three separate properties (Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Trump International hotel in Vegas, 40 Wall Street (aka The Trump Building) for a total of $138.2 million per year), they fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
