On the blind lower class clowns

Get the Point!

Last November, the Pew Research Center released a report which noted that "72% of (Donald) Trump supporters said aid to the poor does more harm than good. Only 18% of (Kamala) Harris backers said the same..."

In essence, nearly three out of four Trump supporters have no problem with financial assistance programs being cut for the poor, but are in full support of Elon Musk receiving billions in federal financial assistance for his Space X and Tesla businesses! 🤔

Why such hypocrisy?

Lest we forget that the American Republic descends from the old European feudal system; in the over 400 years since the first colonizers arrived, there's still this very sick conditioning which finds the "Serfs" (Middle/Working/Poor voters) feeling the need to justify the rights to wealth for the "Lords of the Manor" (billionaire entrepreneur class)—it's in America's DNA!

Along those same lines, the great Frederick Douglass wrote about how even some of our own enslaved ancestors would boast about how "their" rich owner was wealthier than some other rich slave master—as if the enslaved personally benefitted from the wealth of the enslaver!

Indeed, we see these knee jerk defenses of the wealthy across racial lines at this very moment in time when folks should be questioning "when is enough money enough?" Or, by asking why must the gap between rich and poor grow exponentially wider each day? Trust, if the "have nots" could ever figure out that this form of systemic gluttony is inherently wrong, there truly could be change that benefits the majority, not just the one percent of patricians!

But again, every time I peruse social media or watch the news, I still see plenty of middle, working, and poorer class Trump lovers who will continue to struggle to pay bills, buy groceries, and pay for prescription drugs ALL because they side with a regime that's focused on increasing their own wealth—and that of their corporate sponsors around the nation. Here's hoping a good enough number of these types wake up from their "trickle down economic" slumber but judging from history, I am not all that optimistic that the sheep will ever seek to overthrow the shepherds…
