      I don’t care? It just confirms what I think about the modern left.

      And why it’s always comical when I see them thinking the military would support them in some conflict.

          There’s a lot of truth in that. The modern left hasn’t been for the working class / blue collar in a long time.

            Much of the working class regularly votes against their own self interest by voting for face eating leopards. Well at least they owned the libs, so they have that going for them.

                That “Elitist Left” line really is some world-class propaganda. Kudos, right-guy, your teams propaganda is the best. It doesn’t seem to be possible to construct a sound-byte-level counter to it. It takes at least a paragraph to deconstruct the argument. But a paragraph deconstructing an argument is exactly what an elitist would do. It plays right into the narrative. Even the fact that I think a sound-byte is needed only helps the narrative. It’s really spectacularly good propaganda.

                Problem is they, like many others, are tricked into fighting about culture issues. The robber barons have returned while we fight amongst ourselves.

                  Didn’t read the article, huh?

                  That’s the problem.

                  Great article, written by a anti-Trump leftist, for other leftists, on what went wrong regarding the working class support, but getting leftists to read it is damn near impossible.
