(24,174 posts)6. So sadly harsh but true.
Of course the "bring the jobs back" for white folks is just a lie as well. They don't want anyone to prosper, anyone, if they aren't already rich. They hate whites and black and browns but try to make it look different to suck up to the majority whites so they will vote Repug, against their own economic interests. R's are out to destroy the working class, period the end, regardless of race, sex, ability or anything else. Too many working class whites were deluded by the lies and fake promises. They will find out to their peril the terrible wrong they've done to themselves and all Americans. Of course, the KKK, Aryan Nation, White separatists and Nazis will love him because they care more about hate that prosperity.
