Yep. Obama ridiculed them.
You libs hold them in contempt.
With the right message they can be put into play.
Trump has that message.
They kind of deserve to be ridiculed.
You see, the thing was, working class whites used to vote Democratic, and they benefited greatly. They got good union wages and protections at work. Even Republicans kind of got it, which is why Ike was pretty moderate.
Then the 1960's rolled around, and the women and the minorities and the gays got a little uppity, and while the Democrats said, "Yeah, that sound reasonable" the Republicans went back to the White Working Class and said,"They're coming for your children!!!"
We used to call these folks "Reagan Democrats", but it was really Nixon who started it. But no one wants to own Tricky Dick at this point. So sad.
You see, what you dumbasses clinging to your gun and your bibles never seem to get is that while the rich get what they want, you never get what you want.
The rich got huge tax cuts, but gays can get married now.
The rich got to bust the unions, but abortion is still legal.
The rich got deregulation, but your kid is still being taught evolution in the schools and can't pray to your Zombie on a Stick.
Now, true, we can't get reasonable gun control in this country, but that's because big business is making a fortune flooding our streets with guns. So you get to win that one, kind of. Yeah, team.
