23. Call them "suckers"

Beto was right on point with this guy- although I wish he would have said “That talking point about black unemployment? First, the president merely continued a trend that Obama mostly created. Obama should get credit for low unemployment. But second, that talking point is pushed at you by Fox and Limbaugh. Why? Because rightwing billionaires want to lie to you about racism so you’ll vote for this president who gives them tax cuts.”

Betos tone, however, was right on.

With your coworkers, you have to show them how they themselves are getting hurt. Talk about the tax cut on a credit card that they will pay for. Talk about how rightwing billionaires that own Fox and WSJ and Daily Caller and rightwing radio stations think they are suckers. How the billionaires are using them and lying to them and picking their pockets. How the billionaires laugh at them and call them “useful idiots”. That’s the way to persuade the typical white male trumper.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
