The only thing I've found that explains their insanity.

linked to: (i've edited out the filler.)

The world has a very big problem, and it goes like this: its working classes are increasingly turning to fascism, as a way out of the trap of modernity. Let me explain what I mean — for those of you that haven’t quite connected the dots yet, though I suspect many of you have.

Britain’s seen this vicious cycle of increasingly malicious, incompetent, nation-wrecking leaders precisely because the working class can now be counted on to vote conservative, more and harder.

Biden’s victory is hailed as a triumph of the working class, but it was no such thing. America’s working class did not for Biden as a bloc, sending a message of unity as a social group. Biden was pushed over the top by minorities from across the social stratum, Asians here, Black people there, Latinos here. The working class in America is badly, badly fractured — and by and large, it votes increasingly conservative.

America’s working class votes for people like Marjorie Taylor Greene — who seems to literally stalk and harass her fellow members of Congress. Like Matt Gaetz, who’s a creep of the highest order. All that, of course, is because the white working class has become Donald Trump’s personal plaything, his cult, his own movement of extremism, violence, greed, and ruin.

The poorer Americans are, the more likely they are to vote Republican.

Working class voters chose conservatives. But of course conservatives then put in place austerity. They privatised everything in sight and then deregulated what was left.

Hence, the average American began to live and die in perpetual debt. When I say that to Americans, they give me their famous blank stare — so what? But what they don’t understand is that there’s no more troubling social indicator that exists, period. Why? Just think of the Weimar Republic. How did it turn into Nazi Germany? Because Germany couldn’t repay its debts, a massive depression set in, the average person’s life fell apart — and they turned to fascism.

The Nazis blamed the woes of the average German on long-hated minorities. Jews, famously, but also Poles, gays. Anyone more powerless than the “real” German of true and pure blood.

Trump came along, and gave the white working class a scapegoat for its woes — Mexicans, Latinos, Jews, Muslims. The white working class responded in an explosion of fanatical adoration, which allowed Trump to build a cult. He’s used that cult of personality and the working class’s undying devotion to him to purge the Republican Party of anyone that stands in the way of still repeating the Big Lie that the election was stolen — which is now being compounded the the next Big Lie, that there was never an attempted coup.

It’s the working class’s own fault, for voting conservative to begin with. But nobody likes to be wrong — especially not when you have a demagogue casting a spell of black magic before you, and giving you a scapegoat to demonise for your woes.

As long as you give today’s working classes someone to hate, you can get away with anything, and I mean anything. Trump let hundreds of thousands of Americans needlessly die of Covid.

So when working classes stop making modernity happen, then the result, too, is predictable. Regress sets in. Modernity rewinds. It goes backwards in time. What does it mean to go backwards in time? Well, you begin with the 20th century’s fascism, and end up flashing back centuries at light speed, until you’re right back at feudalism and serfdom

It's the same shit- different day. Trump is Hitler. Republicans are Fascists. White working Americans are too stupid to vote for their own good.

2. This article is way off the mark.

The primary indicator of whether a voter supported trump turned out to be racism, not income. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/economic-anxiety-didnt-make-people-vote-trump-racism-did/ Low-income voters supported Biden more than Trump. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1184428/presidential-election-exit-polls-share-votes-income-us/

Oh, and we are all racists...

If they don't cover that they have entirely failed.

And certain working class are subjected to it at workplaces-willingly or not.

If conservatives are fascists, we suck at it!

If conservatives are racists, we suck at it!

Oh, geez. Trump's favorite target wasn't Jews (seriously, WTF?), Latinos, or blacks; it was the wealthy elite, status quo politicians, and the 'deep state'.

Also, just because low income voters voted for Biden doesn't mean Trump voters weren't motivated by economic factors.

When DU-grade Proggies profess to understand Rs and conservatives, silliness will flow freely.

Most of British nation wrecking I've seen is the hordes of refugees wandering the streets with acid and machetes, seeking victims to groom.

Trump came along, and gave the white working class a scapegoat for its woes — Mexicans, Latinos, Jews, Muslims.

Try illegals, gangbangers, human traffickers, cartel members, and terrorists, cause conservatives don't clump people by color or ethnicity, but by actions.  If Jews are some kind of Trump scapegoat, why in the world is our embassy in Jerusalem now?

Low-income voters supported Biden more than Trump. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1184428/presidential-election-exit-polls-share-votes-income-us/

  One, your stats are behind a paywall, two, how many low income voters traded mail in ballots for cash, or are labeled low income because the fake address on the voter roll is in a "poor" neighborhood?

If conservatives are fascists, we suck at it!

If conservatives are racists, we suck at it!

Yup, if we were facists, the DU servers would have been confiscated by the FBI by April, 2016 at the latest.

and now for the DUmmie's response to your question...
