My wife, stepson, and I just had a three sided phone conversation about MAGA in general and my SIL in particular, and a question emerged. If there are really this many stupid toxic people in this country, and they've always been here in more or less the same proportions, how is it that no one has beaten us up and taken our lunch money yet?
And I'm talking a nation or group of nations. The 1% has had a stranglehold on our "lunch money" since the founding.
@TwiHusband Because they can't organize themselves out of a paper bag. I'm talking the stupid ones. The ones with money and religious influence are more savvy.
@SaltyVeruca However the stupid are easily led.
Trump made it okay to hate people in public. They are more vocal now.
Badge of honor.
Well Trump did as well but it ramped up noticeably among Republicans after Obama won.
@Sr0bi @KGinKS Honestly? That crooked senile bastard Reagan kicked it off. He made being a stupid nihilistic racist okay. It's been ramping up ever since. With Trump, we can't ignore it anymore, or it will kill us all.
I was just out grocery shopping. Seen in traffic....a beat up pickup truck with the following spray painted on its decaying tailgate. "Vote For Trump, Or We Will Kill You".
Clear enough?
@TwiHusband
The older I get the more perplexed I become.
