Who do you blame for everything?

The transgendereds

What?


Anyway, it's funny to see "the Elite" is the most blamed scapegoat. To the Conservatives on this forum, "the Elite" probably are Hollywood actors and NYT Journalists. To me, they are more like the J. P. Morgan-Chase executives and Exxon shareholders.

The Republican political strategy of using resentment to motivate voters whose lives and financial situation gets worse every single year yet is entirely caused by the people they elected in the first place who in turn further prop up and validate their resentments.

One example is Ohio voting for Trump because he promised to bring jobs back and then in turn voting for Portman who voted for every single free trade agreement in his political career.

This is literally Thomas Frank's thesis in What's the Matter with Kansas?. The book was written in 2004 and things have only gotten worse.

Dont be surprised at all if Dems blow 2018, 2020.

I'm already mentally preparing to an epic failure. And many will claim the Democratic Party went "too far-left" and failed to reach to centrist voters when they fail to retake the House and lose seats in the Senate.
