Trump when told the biggest losers under 'Trumpcare' would be his own voters: 'Oh, I know'
Bob Bryan

President Donald Trump nodded in agreement during a Wednesday interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson when told the American Health Care Act, the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, would cause the most damage to people who voted for him in November.

1. Trump is also on record saying he prefers his voters to be stupid. - nt

[workinclasszero]

3. Who knew that a guy like this wouldn't be a hero for the working class?

[KingCharlemagne]

5. On a serious note, I think it is important to rescue the distinction between

proletariat (worker) and lumpenproletariat (worker who is unlikely ever to achieve class consciousness) from the dustbin of history.

Lumpenproletariat is a term that was originally coined by Karl Marx to describe the layer of the working class that is unlikely ever to achieve class consciousness and is therefore lost to socially useful production, of no use to the revolutionary struggle, and perhaps even an impediment to the realization of a classless society.

9. Lumpenproletariat equals Fox news and Hate radio brainwashed

white working class in this country, well at least 75% or so I'd say.

[KingCharlemagne]

10. That assertion will be tested when Trumpism, left unchecked by

the Fascists who control the House and Senate, leads to 25% unemployment and a general economic collapse. I neither agree nor disagree with you at this point, preferring to see what happens with your hypothesis under the conditions I have described.

[workinclasszero]

12. Well unemployment, zero safety net and starvation may clear their minds of the rebublican propaganda

or lead to the first American Reich.

I can't see these people giving up their racial hatred so easily while the republican propaganda organs, Fox, hate radio, the NRA and most likely their republican preacher at the mega church will be spewing out the same lies 24/7 that they want so desperately to believe are true.

[KingCharlemagne]

13. Breadlines have a remarkable power to clear one's mind of

nonsense. That's my hypothesis, anyway.

[workinclasszero]

15. I can only hope you are right...but...

These conditions lead to a different outcome in pre-nazi Germany.

[KingCharlemagne]

17. The Communist Party in the US made huge electoral gains in

the election of 1932 (when unemployment reached 25%).

1% of this country's population controls 40% of its wealth and 10% control 80% of its wealth.

[workinclasszero]

20. FDR saved capitalism in the USA back then even though he was and is excoriated by the 1%

The wall street gangsters still insist on selling rope to us though.

Go figure.

[KingCharlemagne]

21. In his book "A Bright Shining Lie," Neil Sheehan argues that

the pre-1965 National Liberation Front in puppet-ruled South Vietnam secured the overwhelming majority of its weapons by either a) capturing them from puppet forces or b) purchasing them on the black market from corrupt puppet officers. Those weapons had been supplied to the puppets by the U.S.

Meaning: the U.S. puppet regime was fighting an NLF . . . armed indirectly by the U.S. taxpayer.

It's as inevitable as the sun rising in the East.

22. Where there's money to be made

All standards, beliefs, morality, etc go out the window for Randian gangster capitalists.

[KingCharlemagne]

23. But it gives me hope that, indeed, the capitalists will sell us

the rope with which to hang them.

[workinclasszero]

24. They are feverishly doing that very thing

Even as we speak.

[LaydeeBug]

16. Lumpenproletariat ditto heads. They don't think it's *them*

[Freedomofspeech]

8. These pictures are so disgusting.

[smirkymonkey]

19. They make me sick!

They are so tacky and vulgar.

[ecstatic]

11. What is his son sitting on in the second pic? Looks like a hand. nt

[Mad-in-Mo]

18. It really looks like someone is under the table holding him in his chair.

[KewlKat]

26. that is his foot. he's sitting on his legs like kellyann

[spanone]

2. he doesn't care, he's never cared. CEO's like him don't give a flying fuck about people.

it's all bottom line

[C_U_L8R]

4. What does he care?

These folks are either gonna be working in the sweatshop
making oversized Trump ties or they are useless dead weight.
Emphasis on dead. Like the cannon fodder Trump needs
for his big big bigly war in Asia, coming soon.

[workinclasszero]

6. Yep..full employment on the front lines in NK

coming soon. This time with nukes!

Herr Dump MAGA!!

[janterry]

7. they need

to package that clip into an ad and run it in every state that voted for him.

It needs to become an iconic reminder of why we shouldn't elect morons.

[Initech]

14. So when do we break out the pitchforks and torches?

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[Vinca]

27. Trump voters are the biggest losers under the majority of his proposals.
