Forget empathy. Trumperinas do NOT vote their own interests.
MAGAGAs (make america great and glorious again) are poor and oppressed but vote to lower the taxes on the billionaires and to raise them on themselves, vote to take away public services from themselves, vote to remove the remaining 2 regulations on the megacorps, banks, and big landlords that oppress them.
In a world that made sense everyone in favor of deregulation should be forced to ride Boeing, and leave us, the sane folks, alone.
They got convinced that the interests of the billionaire class align with their own. That's stupidity. You can't fix stupid with empathy.
I don't want empathetic people. I want people to rep their actual material interests, cogently and sincerely.
Right now we have people voting for the "leopards eating faces" party get surprised when their faces get eaten, because the morons wanted to believe they were the leopards too.
Servative trash. No mercy for the servatives. And I am tired of all the moralizing language. Kumba fucking ya. Horseshit. We ain't gonna hug and kiss this shit all better. Morality is a fairy tale and we cannot base a world worth living in on a lie. Morality is a lie on the scale of religion. Morality is what causes people to self-restrict and self-censor. Morality is what prevents the guillotines.
If morality were against the status quo and against the interests of the billionaires, it would have been outlawed!
We all need to rep our material interests. Even one billionaire is a policy failure.
