This country barely survived the tenure of the former President. I call that person the tangerine twat grabber. But anyway, we have seen that his followers are constituted out of a minority of voters in the USA. I see the somewhat naïve and unwitting supporters of the tangerine twat waddle as made up of three (3) identifiable groups:
First, there is leadership among his followers who are all cynical grifters and apologists for the robber barons in our country and around the world. For this service they scrape off their 30 pieces of silver. They are willful traitors to the American cause and they don't believe in democracy. They just want money. They are the same type of running dogs who support Putin, Orban and all the other dictators. They are almost all lawyers of some ilk, and they are all either elected officials or in the immediate service of elected officials.
Two: there are those Trumpers who are just totally afraid and angry. These poor souls are so frightened their brains can't actually work. They are told that the people they are afraid of are causing all their troubles - and they believe it! These are the Faux Noose watchers. These are the fanatical people who show up in primaries to make sure no sensible candidates are advanced. These are the rather gullible souls who send in so much money to the grifters and media hawks who rake in millions and millions via their various schemes. These folks actually seem to think that these liars, deceivers and carnival barkers are going to solve the real problems they people face as well as save them from a whole host of mostly imaginary fears and conspiracy theories.
Three: The last bunch of the twat grabber supporters are the sheep who follow the evil wolves and fearful ones who are in their communities. It doesn’t seem that this group has an analytical bone in their bodies. These are the people that are described as the “low information” voters, the bible thumpers, and in other unflattering ways. Even the preachers in churches in Red States are on the take! They are trying to make more money by repeating the lies and deceptions of the grifter class. No actual followers of Jesus anywhere in sight. These are the people who populate the rallies and the people who buy the red hats. These are the people with whom you cannot have a conversation about the future of our country because they can only spew what they have been told. They are not necessarily stupid, but they are universally ignorant and uninterested in the truth, whether that truth concerns the future of our planet or the source of their financial troubles and lost job opportunities.
Fortunately all of those 3 demographics together are only about one-third of our total population. I like to call this group "the Confederacy"! Of course they are not fighting for cotton anymore. But they ARE fighting for white nationalism and a real class system that would put “their kind” ahead of others in our Nation. Mostly this credo has passed down through their generations, but is now resurgent because the combined efforts of their "leadership" and Faux Noose have made these people blind as to who is really stealing their money and their opportunities. Their leadership works incessantly to blame all problems on people of color, foreigners, the social welfare State and the operation of democracy. Their leadership carefully constructs a robust grift around every other issue that they bring before their crowd. Their leadership have taken over the Republican Party and left all other sensible Republicans without a political home.
What real (small "d") democrats need to do, and this includes sensible Republicans, is prevent the seizure of the national institutions of our country by this noisy minority, and prevent those very "democratic institutions" from being turned into weapons of suppression to be manipulated by the moneyed interests, the internationalist capitalists and the grifters who are in cahoots trying to take over the operation of our government. That's why the Confederacy likes Orban - that's what he has already done in Hungary. In Hungary, people vote, but their votes don't count for anything. In this country our votes still matter. We need to Vote out the Confederacy while we still can! We need all real democrats of any party to temporarily put aside their aspirations for third parties and single-issue parties. We need sensible Republicans to temporarily vote for Democrats. We need registered Democrats to turn out the vote in the midterms and in the 2024 general election.
If we can secure four (4) more years with Democrats controlling the Congress we can see the public institutions in our country restored to proper function, we can see personal rights guaranteed by law, we can see accountability before the law for law breakers and we can secure our experimental democracy for the future.
What I have taken away from your opinion is exactly the reason why the Confederacy exists. There is a working class in every society... they are micromanaged by people of thought, they rebel, they look to anyone of thought who appears to value their situation. The Confederacy is essentially the story of Spartacus. Their numbers dwindle with time, as technology takes away the need for their existence. Being that they were selected in their infancy to serve in this role of labor, they never experience Constitutional Rights and are always searching for them... until the day they taste freedom when they rebel.
