What we must do

The past couple of months I have keep my mouth closed and ears open. It is surprising what you learn from conversations in stores, waiting rooms, and such. It is my opinion that Trump supporters have one thing in common. The fast-paced world with automation, technology, globalization has left these people behind. One would need a doctorate to do an in-depth explanation, however they all feel life has not been what they wanted or expected. Trumps make America great again implies he is going change things to make them all happy. Trump people don’t really care about other folks as long as their life is the way they want it. This is my view of the right, now for the left. Progressives all seem to have a cause that comes first. Healthcare, environment, human rights and such. They all want to elect a person that puts their cause first. Progress is achieved by having a slow but well planed path to follow. We must unite and support a candidate who is both progressive and realistic. If we fail to do this we end up back in the dark ages and a third world country.

Ms. Crabapple was the best teacher in the world and even though Alfalfa's parents couldn't afford to send him to a good barber, life was good.

Hoppy had a gun, don'tja see? And crime was punished. Hoppy didn't need no sheriff. One good guy with a gun took care of it all.

Taxes? They was low, but we got our money's worth. Eisenhower built the interstate highway with our gas tax.

Now look at the shit goin' on.

It's gonna suck for everybody. That's what capitalism DOES; it seeks the highest profit/ROI at the lowest cost. Which includes LABOR. The time is going to come when labor is going to have to take matters into it's own hands and displace the ruling elite and bourgeoisie (Yeah, I used Marxian terms, y'all better start getting familiar)the class war is well underway and the elites are winning and ready to give the coup de grace to our collective temples.
