Its easy to rationalize hate when you base the hate on fear. You started with hate and then made up the fear. That's why none of you righties will engage in the real issues. You focus on boogeymen while those of us at the top get richer and richer. Keep it coming. My consolation prize for living in a country run by crooks is that it benefits me. Its almost too easy.
1. The use of positions of authority or responsiblity to push indoctrination, in schools or entertainment, is a real issue. YOU just tried to distract from it, by talking nonsense about "hate".
2. Then ironically you trot out the lefty boogyman of "the rich". Libs have all the self awareness of a potted plant. If that potted plant is dead.
The number of unsupported posts with wild ass made up shit on here is quite overwhelming. Welcome to the club of useless posters. They'll love you there. Anything else you just want to pull out of your ass and make up?
Who the **** is "we"? You have zero power Mr Internet Poster. "We". Bwahahahahaahha.
That's why you are in a cult. You lap up perceived power from watching Trump. He is your identity. You cant do shit my man. "We"? Bwaahahahahaahahahaa You guys are too funny. Quite pathetic.
Just a bit ago, you were talking shit about how conservatives avoid the "issues".
The way that leftards like yourself use their positions in institutions, to push their ideology,
is a real issue, and MAGA is dealing with it, and we, more specifically me and the other poster were discussing it.
YOU came into the conversation to try to derail the discussion, with shit talk, because you, as a lefty, don't want real "issues" dealt with,
because your agenda is built on exploiting issues, not solving them.
You see a group that is poor and miserible? You want to organize and rile them up, so they can be turned into a political weapon.
MAGA looks at such a group and wants to see them fixed. Get them jobs, get them help, get them in better shape so that they can handle their own problems and move on, becoming NOT a group of poor and miserible people.

1. SCHOOLS ARE LOCAL. They are run by locally elected leaders who LIVE in the community. In conservative areas they are packed with conservatives. Schools are not indoctrination camps. How can they be when they are run by conservatives in conservative areas? I cant help you if you dont use your brain. You cant get from point A to B. You guys just shit out nonsense.
2. You assholes think that the poor and immigrants have all the money and that is why there is no middle class. Correct? That is what you think drained the middle class? Meanwhile the top 1% has gobbled up all the wealth created in this country on the backs of hard working Americans... but they are not actually the ones with all the money from the middle class.. its really the poor and immigrants who have all the money?
How do you explain this country being richer than it ever has been but the middle class being smaller and broke? Who has their money?

Education as a field is dominated by liberals. You have to know this, so I can only take your pretense of not knowing it, to be you lying.
My point stands. The way that lying libs like yourself, use their positions, such as teachers or principles to spread their ideology, especially at children, is a real issue.
A real ISSUE, that you are trying to distract from with shit talk.

No. Not at all. Maga never said that. What you just revealed there is that A. you have the listening skills of a turnip, or B you are a filthy liar.
More marxist class warfare.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The republicans covered all of that in their 2016 presidential primary.
YOu really missed all of that?
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Fine.
Here is the point. Pay attention, because it is easy to say and won't take long, so if you lose focus you could miss it.
Good macro-economic numbers can hide heavy burdens placed on the little guy.
NOw, if you don't want to be an idiot, all your next post should build on that, and just move on from all the other shit talk you posted.
Schools are local. All the curriculum requirements are local. All the hiring is local. Its all local. The fact you keep repeating yourself does not make any difference. You cannot show me a single instance of liberals forcing the local school board to do anything... the school boards run the show.
Answer me this simple question... Where did all the money go if not to the middle and working class? I already answered it and you say I am wrong. So without being stupidly vague, tell me explicitly where the money went. We are as rich a nation as we have ever been. The middle class isnt. So where is their money?

And just like that, you drop your previous point about the "wealthy nation".
Becuase you knew that point was bullshit when you made it.
YOu claimed that maga said that the money went to the immigrant labor, when none of us every said that. That was a lie you told, to support your position, FALSELY.
It is not about where the money goes, (higher profits for employers) but the mechanism on how wages are suppressed, ie by flooding the labor market with cheap third world labor.
Reduce supply and you increase price, ie wages.
YOu are the one running away from the issue now, becauase you don't want a solution.
Becasuse you WANT to make this country culturally a third world shit hole, becuase then your lefty political will be normal. To the new voters.
And actual AMERICANS, will be outvoted in our own country.

Waste of your effort. I am not clicking on anything you post. You provide zero value in a debate.
If you ever get struck by lightening and become twice as smart, try posting then, at least I can read the rantings of a near moron with the improvement.

I had a negative net worth when I left the Army. Since then I have made and spent millions of dollars performing a service a highschool dropout could master.
No billionaire stopped me, constrained me, or limited my wages.
You state this as a fact. Please expound on how this affects you.
What does MAGA get wrong? Well, everything else. The movement fundamentally misdiagnosed whoās to blame. Instead of pointing to real structural forces causing the loss in power, it turns working-class discontent toward scapegoatsāimmigrants, welfare recipientsānarratives amplified by wealthy leaders who benefit from the status quo. Trump and other elites deploy this rhetoric to deflect blame while implementing policiesālike tax cuts and deregulationāthat tilt further in favor of the already affluent. Itās a sleight of hand, three-ball-monte, grift that the working class cant see coming. āWhere did the ball go?ā Theyāll ask in memorized stupor.
What people want are laws that are followed and a chance to compete. All of which the democratic party has taken away.
Why don't you quit commenting on the working class and do a little research before you peddle your stupid "data guy" schtick and then show how there is no way.
I think MAGA has many reasonable concerns, and I have agreements on several of them.
The problems? (1) Their Dunning-Kruger universe, (2) the way they've sold their soul (and even the soul of their religion) to the most obvious, juvenile, gaudy con man/grifter this country has ever seen, and (3) their binary, caveman, jihad-like approach to pretty much everything.
Kind of makes it more difficult for those of us who have agreements with them to take them seriously. We'd actually be thrilled if they'd just find another hobby.
More insults instead of support for your argument. Donāt you get tired of getting worked on here like this? Itās easy. Just do some research and respond with an actual argument instead of whatever this is.

Not sure I follow. I posted two articles that outlined the rapid consolidation of wealth away from the middle class and into the top since the 80ās. It is an undisputable fact. I am not sure how you can think that is good for middle class.
I donāt get why you folks donāt look at the structure and realize itās working against you. Is it because you think you will be a billionaire one day and donāt what to pay a few percentage points higher in taxes? So weird. I got a $20,000 plus tax cut from Trump. I am spending about half of that this weekend at Disney with my kids. Maybe Iāll come back next week with the rest.
What does MAGA get right? At its core, the MAGA movement tapped into a genuine frustration: life is harder than ever for working-class Americans. Many feel priced out, underpaid, and increasingly marginalizedāthis disillusionment is the one thing the movement accurately identifies. Inequality has deepened dramatically over the decades, with the bottom earners barely moving compared to the soaring gains at the top. For instance, between 1979 and 2007, the top 1% saw their after-tax earnings grow by 275%, while the bottom 20% only saw an 18% increase. Prices havenāt grown in the same manner so we are looking at the first generation to pass a worse standard of living to their children.

What is the truth? In truth, data overwhelmingly shows that the real crisis is wealth consolidation at the very top. The bottom half of Americans own barely a sliver of the nationās wealthājust 2.5%āwhile the top 10% control over two-thirds. Because that concentration suppresses wages, narrows mobility, and widens inequality, it hurts working families far more than immigrants or welfare recipients ever could. The wealthy in the GOP have successfully labeled any attempt to dismantle the structural advantage the wealthy have bought through congressional influence as āsocialismā, āMarxismā, ācommunismā, āwokeismā, or any number of scary sounding words that end in āismā to keep the working class off the trail.
What is the solution? The working class needs to wake the **** up or live mired in its worsening status as the wealthy continue to gobble up everything. We are in a bifurcated or two level economy today. The wealthy and big corps are killing it while the consumer is struggling. We will see if they get around to diagnosing their problem or whether they continue to play into it and follow the Trumpian pied piper to blaming brown people, immigrants, and the poor. As if they have all the money.
How do you propose we solve this? Do you really think if the government imposes a wealth tax, that that money is really going to go into YOUR pocket? It will just be soaked up in more spending project, pork filled bills and hand outs to politicians districts.
How about a forced increase in minimum wage? All that does is drives prices up so the cost of everything meets the new wages.
The only way you'll get what you want is to force companies to pay people more, while not raising the prices on the goods abd services they make. Hello socialism.
Maybe the answer lies in reducing taxes, keeping inflation down and incentivizing companies to pay more.
