I know the Union boys around here are just plain stupid, and just vote the way they are told, but what about the rest of America that supports Biden and the Democrat platform?


Judging by some of your posts, you've one of them

If you are fearful that the new generation of voters don’t get it, read this article written by Alyssa Ahlgren. I think her analysis of why they think the way they do is exactly correct.
“I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of Democratic candidates calling for policies to “fix” the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don’t give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty. One. Times. Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.”
Never saw American prosperity. Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I’ve ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Now, I’m not attributing Miss Ocasio-Cortez’s words to outright dishonesty. I do think she whole-heartedly believes the words she said to be true. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let’s just say I didn’t have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Let me lay down some universal truths really quick. The United States of America has lifted more people out of abject poverty, spread more freedom and democracy, and has created more innovation in technology and medicine than any other nation in human history. Not only that but our citizenry continually breaks world records with charitable donations, the rags to riches story is not only possible in America but not uncommon, we have the strongest purchasing power on earth, and we encompass 25% of the world’s GDP. The list goes on. However, these universal truths don’t matter. We are told that income inequality is an existential crisis (even though this is not an indicator of prosperity, some of the poorest countries in the world have low-income inequality), we are told that we are oppressed by capitalism (even though it’s brought about more freedom and wealth to the most people than any other system in world history), we are told that the only way we will acquire the benefits of true prosperity is through socialism and centralization of federal power (even though history has proven time and again this only brings tyranny and suffering).
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they’ve never seen prosperity, and as a result, elect politicians dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this, my generation has ONLY seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, or see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don’t know what it’s like not to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.
With the current political climate giving rise to the misguided idea of a socialist utopia, will we see the light? Or will we have to lose it all to realize that what we have now is true prosperity? Destroying the free market will undo what millions of people have died to achieve.
My generation is becoming the largest voting bloc in the country. We have an opportunity to continue to propel us forward with the gifts capitalism and democracy has given us. The other option is that we can fall into the trap of entitlement and relapse into restrictive socialist destitution. The choice doesn’t seem too hard, does it?” Amen and Amen

OP, a lot of them really are that stupid. Lots of union guys to stupid to realize that Trump with his America first policy was a better friend to American jobs union and non union that pro China Biden ever could be. I see guys on hunting and fishing sites that are average working and middle class guys that are for Biden/Democrat. White school teachers that buy into the Democrat agenda hook line and sinker and think that there kind and making the world a better place. There completely clueless to what life will be like in a communist society after they’ve happily voted all of there rights away. Even antifa/blm to some degree are clueless they and there kids aren’t exactly going to thrive under communism but somehow they don’t see it or see the cultural rot that there promoting.

Been saying for years a vast portion of the Dem voting base is in for a very rude awakening the further into communism we go. You see the average uneducated welfare collecting non working bum offers very little to the "collective" and thus would be the first to be "disappeared". Also their days of sitting on thier azzes collecting govt handouts would cease....work the job you are told, or else! Also forget about anything beyond basic "healthcare", you offer little to the group, you are not worth any advanced care.

Stupid phuggs are too dumb to realize that all the imaginary money currently being thrown around as handouts has to end sometime as well as have future consequences!

I think a lot of support for communism stems from the artificial world that we live in today. Families are frequently single parent female lead homes. Family and friends move to other cities and states, younger people living in apartments without roots or clear career path and they feel anxious. It’s human nature to blame others and to want security.
A politician blaming life’s problems on the other party and greedy capitalist and offering security in the form of big government in exchange for personal freedoms (but never stated like that) is incredibly appealing to some people. Government healthcare, government sponsored retirement, government mandated “living wage”

The way I always explained things to my son was that if big corporations can be ruthless and corrupt but have no legal authority except for what they lobby corrupt politicians for. How is combing all of there power and influence with a government that does have legal power and authority over the police and military units, courts, and ability to write law going to make a country or people better off.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK

Who receives welfare by race?
Persons with 50 Percent or More of Their Income from a Welfare Source Persons with 50 Percent or More of Their Income from a Welfare Source
AFDC or Food Stamps Persons with any Welfare Income from AFDC, FS, or SSI


All persons 3.8 16.9

Non-Hispanic White 1.8 11.0

>>>>Non-Hispanic Black 12.3 41.0 <<<<

>>>>Hispanic 8.9 33.3<<<<



All of that, while a real problem, pales in comparison to funding for foreign aid. Much of which goes to nations which members of Congress with dual citizenship are citizens of. We don’t have a democrat problem. We have a traitor problem. Without traitors, foreign involvement and open fraud, all the welfare votes they could muster would not have given the democrats a victory.




Well said, OGW.

Absolutely. They think that there going to ride a gravy train of free everything. Free college, free healthcare, free housing. The first thing communists do is get rid of the deadweight or let them starve. The party leaders aren’t in it to give away there money.

According to the best Moral Psychologist, people are idiots first, and that leads them to Communism.

So in the end, they are both.

The bribes stop when total control is achieved. This script isn't new.

Wait for it..
