It is not a stereotype, it is the Republican demographic, the one that they legislate towards. They have also co-opted the Racist and Evangelical communities, but only because the things they care about don't actually affect their demographic. I am willing to listen if you have examples of legislation that they have pushed that helps another demographic that is not beneficial to them.
Of course they do, but the Republicans are not trying to legislate to help them out, anything not in the Wealthy White Heterosexual Male Only agenda is considered some kind of -ism (socialism, reverse racism, populism, whatever they can to troll it).
No, again I am not saying that the Republicans are all racist. They just have a very narrow understanding of the communities in our country is all, and because of that fact, the legislation that could most help our communities (that happen to have the lowest price tag to enact) cannot be passed because they continually block it.
Quit listening to what the Right wing propaganda machine and online trolls tell you what the 'other' thinks. I agree things are far better, they are, but the reason you think what you do is that everything negative is being so amplified by the online Russian trolling. This is the most important thing to understand with this upcoming election. We cannot actually even talk with one another often because of the fact that the Russian military (and Saudi, and traitors like Brad Parscale) have our citizens personalities fully mapped out and are hitting them with very personalized disinformation campaigns.
I agree racism is bad. But disagree about education being on the decline, this is a long term trolling, are there problems within it, of course, that is what happens when you have the Republicans (ill leave out my description, but it really is obvious the case here too) actively trying to dumb down the education system for decades.
You are old enough to remember work discrimination, redlining, and white flight to the suburbs. What do you think happened at that point when you combine depressing the ability to earn money (reducing the taxes paid into those communities), forcing people to not be able to move into better neighborhoods, and removing the majority of the tax base for those communities when they move to the suburbs? Our government actively harmed these communities and tried to keep them contained, then over-policed them and underfunded any programs aimed at helping things like the school systems.
So what do you think the government should do about the white flight? How would you like to keep the people and the tax money from leaving when they want. So who in our government did these things? Of course to you it was those bad republicans. See the problem with all of these simpleton statements is you provide no proof of anything. No names, no places, no dates , no documents, just bad history lessons.
If 40 you were born around 1980. If like most you were at least twenty before you had enough education to start making smarter choices.
So most likely the earliest you started following politics was around 2000 if you were lucky. So you have no first hand info about 1960 to nearly 2000.
You have the same problems as others who didn't live in this time. You have barely scratched the surface of this history and have the gall to tell others who lived in that time what really happened. how can I make that any simpler. this is the obvious truth.
That is why I point to the 'Wealthy' as well, landowners (see minority redlining), business owners (
Destroying black/minority businesses), and education have not been a level playing field, and because of this we have generational gaps that we need to overcome.
again the simpleton ideas about the wealthy men and history.
All of the above, and life. I am over 40, age does matter (otherwise Facebook analytics wouldn't worry about allowing politicians/businesses to target people based on it). I am the last generation to not have grown up with internet/computers in school. Our generations were not ready for the sophistication of attack that the Russians used on us to get Trump elected.
well I will say you are consistent. always ready to charge in with no facts. Oh yeah that is right. because you didn't have computers nobody else must have had them either until 2016. Why is that no government agency has come out with exactly how the russians actually did this. Lumping trump in with the russians is ludicrous at best. There is no proof of this. just wishful thinking from the dems . you fell for it again.
You are the one confusing what I am saying with racism. Pointing out the power structure of our country since the founding and how it has tried to continue to keep power in it's hands since the Civil Rights era is not racism, it's reality.
But the racists that are using these very real problems by amplifying them and propagandizing them so that they can micro target you online and in hate radio/TV to sell their agenda, want you to feel the way you do. This is why it is so important to understand the disinformation and propaganda that is being used to attack our citizens. All of our citizens regardless of how they identify.
