  • These people are so completely out of touch it’s painful.

    Anybody that wants to be president should go through a mandatory 6 month immersion course where they have to live on 40k a year in middle America. Don’t even make it difficult where they’d also have to support a spouse and two kids on that income. Oh, and make them work a retail job that’s at least 30 min from home. And they have to drive a 15 year old American car as well. Heck turn it into a reality tv show. Call it something like “Really Presidential” or “The Real Candidates of DC”




















  • I don’t really have a dog in this fight since I’m more of a democratic socialist but the GOP has changed since I started voting in the late 80s, but not really taken over. It’s more like putting a tiny drop of food coloring in water. You didn’t really notice at first but eventually it’s quite obvious the color has changed. The favoring the rich has always been a common theme but the bend toward anti-intellectualism, single issue voters, racism, and pandering to the religious right were always there but it has definitely gotten way worse. So he’s not wrong it has changed. Could people like him have done more about this direction shift, hell yes. But in my opinion we need more of this realization to weed out this toxic behavior, not less.
