I was reading a book on America's adventure in Vietnam, and how the war was pretty much fought by the sons of working class Americans. Even when the college educated "elites" turned against the war, the working class continued to support it. This was one of the beginnings of the division that brought the working class into the GOP, which as I said before was a great tragedy. Of course now the War in Vietnam is a fading memory, though it is still of interest to me, as I came close to being cannon fodder in that conflict, and I still studying how that came to be. The big issue for the white working class now seems to be immigration, something that interests me not at all. Unless, of course, President Trump actually creates an "Deportation Force" as he called it to round up the estimated 11 million "illegals". Could be a great way to wake up the Hispanics to start voting, and maybe even radicalize them. We and most of my Mexi peeps dont like Illegals as I said Try Again its not 11 mil its 30 plus mil!<<<<<<<< Could be a great way to wake up the Hispanics to start voting, and maybe even radicalize them.>>>>> That statement is pure bullshit! White Gringo liberals destroyed and brain washed my peeps! we will get even! "We and most of my Mexi peeps dont like Illegals". Why not? Could it be because they are poor and maybe uneducated? That is a classic example of Class War.

Considering how our immigration laws only allow a trickle of Mexicans in legally, I'm glad you managed it. And libs did not invent Class War, they just shine a light on it.

I used to describe someone really stupid by saying it was "as stupid as a working class Republican", but now I can thank Trump for making me be able to shorten that to "as stupid as a Trump voter".

Democraps voters are more stupid clueless shillary voters, They believe in Fairy tales of liberal Media! Democraps are the welfare class sit on their lazy asses all day and allowing Illegals Raping our resources, Time to cleanse out the Commie Democrap party and Repukes party! Time for American one party system!

I have to confess...I am responsible for one of the biggest political tragedies of the last 40 years...the white working class going over to the GOP. Yes, it was my contempt towards all those beer drinking, big truck driving, sports obsessed goobers with their guns and bibles starting in 1968 that drove them into the arms of the Nixon/Reagan/Fox/Tea Party axis of evil. So now that those troglodytes have gone over to the conservative party (the GOP), I'm left here on the left with the gays, feminists, environmentalists, Teacher's Union members, and academics, not to mention young urban hipsters who share my bad attitudes, in the other conservative party (IMHO, the Dems). Fortunately, sad as it is, it will matter less and less as suburban and rural white males become a smaller and smaller demo in the next decade or so. Meanwhile, we have to put up with a probable 2010 style GOP surge in 2014, for all the good it will do working class Republicans, since the GOP is really all about billionaires and the interests of global financiers. Once again, I am quoting myself and I apologize. But I think I hit the nail on the head here. The only difference is now I am no longer apologizing. Screw the gun and bible goobers and their President Trump. Better to be a minority party than embrace their racism, sexism, jingoism, etc. We will just have to wait 'till all those white Boomer rural Deplorables drop dead. Fortunately the cities seemed to be more and more filled with young blacks, Hispanics, asians, liberal hipsters, liberal college educated people. We shall overcome! ,

As always, I am looking for more fun thread titles, so I thought I'd update this one to reflect something that I think to myself every time I hear something stupid, which is "That's as stupid as a working class Republican!". Really, how can they be such dupes to vote against their own economic interests? Did they really expect a billionaire to undo the globalization brought to us by billionaires?

Looking at the "tax reform", you think it would be obvious to the working class that voting Republican is being a toady of the rich. Maybe they think THEY will be rich someday. Good luck with that.

www.nytimes.com/2017/12/07/opinion/liberals-conservatives-trump.html?mabReward=ALS1&recid=0xQcJ9re5K3p2foDdEu1C6ktomU&recp=1&action=click&pgtype=Homepage®ion=CColumn&module=Recommendation&src=rechp&WT.nav=RecEngine&_r=0"For the moment, the left is both stunned and infuriated by the vehement animosity it faces from red America, which is made up of counties that are 84 percent less dense than blue America, 37 percent less racially and ethnically diverse, and 34 percent more white. Voters in red America are 44 percent less likely to be college graduates and 22 percent more likely to have served in the armed forces. Geographically speaking, red counties are virtually nonexistent on the West Coast and on the East Coast north of the Mason-Dixon line. Many Democrats continue to have little understanding of their own role — often inadvertent, an unintended consequence of well-meaning behavior — in creating the conditions that make conservatives willing to support Trump and the party he is leading." At the beginning of this thread, I confessed to my role in pushing working class whites into the arms of the Republicons. I called it a "tragedy", but I'm not so sure any more. Who needs those unenlightened losers? Why should we adopt hideous policies to attract them back? I think we will be better off in the long run kissing those stupid hicks off.

I guess I could have put my comment on the NYT moving to the right in this thread instead of the Original Fake News thread. Hey, maybe some people think the NYT is more "fair and balanced" now.

Ha-ha! Apparently ABC's reboot of "Roseanne" is the network's attempt to pander to Trump voters. And I guess it worked. It got big ratings in flyover territory like Ohio, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

SO Trumpty wants to send National Guard down to our southern border because of some alleged immigration "crisis" that includes a so-called "caravan" coming to the border through Mexico from Central American hellholes. I just heard they were sticking together for protection in a lawless country, but whatever. I guess the dirtbag governors of the Trump states of West Alabama (aka Arizona) and Texas are jumping on the bandwagon. It will be hilarious watching Trumpty trying to persuade Gov Moonbeam!

I keep getting the NYT's new right-of-center columnists mixed up. And why not? Both Bret Stephens and Ross Douthat are Gen Xer's, and both have written for Murdoch's WSJ. And both seem to be religious fanatics. Bret just wrote a column on the wonderfulness of Israel, and Ross is whining about the case of the kid who's parents wanted to take him out of England for treatments that the doctors said would not save him. Sad that the NYT felt the need to move to the right after Trump was elected, and to hell with integrity.
