You guys are such rubes

[lostnfound]

You know what you want when you have everything? More of everything.
•He isn’t going to destroy your Medicaid and social security because the programs are going broke; he’s doing it to pass giant tax cuts for certain billionaires.

•He isn’t selling off public lands or logging and mining rights in national forests because the US government is broke; he's doing it because billionaire buddies and foreign oligarchs can buy up prime American land, probably start fancy oligarch resorts with their golden trump visas. And mining. Lots of mining.

•He isn’t deporting non-white immigrants back to their home countries; there’s no money to be made in that. He’s deporting them to private prisons so he can hand over your tax dollars to an El Salvador dictator and god-knows-who in Libya and to CoreCivic and Geo.

•He didn’t bomb Iran to protect any of you from nuclear weapons. He’s doing it because certain GOP crazies have wanted a war with Iran for over 25 years and besides there’s money to be made on fuel speculation.

•He didn’t promise you that you won’t ever have to vote again in order to save you the inconvenience of waiting in long lines on voting day.

•His purpose in stopping your teen daughter from having an abortion or your wife from saving her own life from an ectopic pregnancy isn’t to save the baby. He didn’t even want to ‘save the baby’ when it was a matter of paying for insurance for his nephew’s own preemie.

•He isn’t a brilliant tactician; he is good at distraction, extortion and bullying, and he has accomplices sucking on for their own power or piece of the pie, just like the guys who made money off the Nazis.

•He isn’t and never has been a successful business man; he is a successful con man, and you are the marks.

For the sake of thirty pieces of silver or some magic beans, you gambled away the biggest thing that has ever been gambled away. By the time you figure this out, it will already be too late.

8. While I agree with everything said here . . .

. . . let's not use derogatory terms such as "rubes." We will not attract disaffected Trump voters by disrespecting them.

10. Trump disrespects them every day. When we treat them like thinking adults, they chalk it up to OUR weakness. Nt

11. Stop trying to win them over

If they need to be given flowers and chocolates to stop destroying our country, screw them. You can’t keep living in fear of offending troglodytes, they will either get it or be leopard food.

14. oh come on

FUCK THEM

let's get the people who didn't vote

Trump voters can go FUCK themselves - I don't CARE why voted the way they did - they have utterly DISGRACED AMERICA - FUCK THEM ALL TO HELL AND BACK, STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLES

15. Lose-Lose situation.

They aren't looking for attraction. The Proudly Deplorable Crowd is too stupid to know disenfranchised anyway.

[FalloutShelter]

9. One million percent.

[Littlered]

12. I agree conceptually.

The same rules need to be applied across the board or we risk being the rube. It’s well past time to look into the fact, that so many making a modest salary in public service have become so ultra wealthy.
