(13,913 posts)to be under the impression that the majority of trump supporters lack education, and that even the educated are not intelligent on many levels. While i also think this is in many respects true, i do think it's their narrow-minded upbringing (products of twisted teachings of Christianity, lack of exposure to diversity) and the fact many of them are just flat out lazy. Blaming minorities/people of color for their perception of being left behind are an easy target. I told him the millions of immigrants who come here over the years have made successful integration into the American way of life. These productive and contributing people have opened businesses or entered a trade which helped them not only support themselves and put their kids through college, but also pay taxes and have given back many times over the help the US has given them.
All the while the deplorables have been American citizens (because their own ancestors have immigrated here) yet they do not make plans to find other work or other opportunities, and using the false excuse that immigrants are here to take their jobs. No deplorables, you resist change and don't help yourself, you suffer the consequences. Don't expect your savior the Idiot to help you, as he's proven he doesn't give a crap about you by taking your federal assistance away and leaving you as victims of his insane trade war.
Bottom line, if people think their jobs are being obsoleted they should reinvent themselves and learn a new trade, or find other opportunities and be accountable for their own failures, not blame others for their lot because of their laziness.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
