(2,884 posts)The " it's the economy, stupid", people fell for the con, they bought the flim flam, they bought the get-rich-quick scheme. They think that their misogyny and racism are going to buy them entrance into the billionaire class.
Wake up, dumb shits. The billionaires are about to take everything you own or have ever worked for.
I really wish that there was a way to inflict the consequences only on the people who voted for this disaster, but that isn't how things work.
What happened: too many people are misogynist and racist, with some classism thrown in as well. They bought the fiction that billionaires are smarter, better people, who got all their success without ANY help or support from anyone else, and that those people deserve to rule.
And, they also bought the mass fiction that they just needed to hand over our government to "a business man", and flash boom, they would be saved and can become billionaires themselves.
The economy is very good and he as done remarkably well, after the tremendous damage done by the mishandled pandemic. But, Corporate McGreedia refused to be honest in their reporting and no one has figured out how to counter disinformation on Social McGreedia because they are privately owned businesses. More proof that the Private Sector is not automatically better for the public welfare ( I know they only care about their owners and shareholders. No one needs to remind me.)
