Point made.
You are way to involved in the political climate of this country.
You always have been.
Tell me this... How many rights did Trump 45 take from you or anyone you know?
How did he change this country into a "fascists state?"
Did he take away the right for gay marriage? Women to vote?
No... you like to make a huge issue out of a person that you disagree with and scream that the world is ending. It didn't 45 years ago when Reagan was elected and the same group of "intellectuals" were saying the same damn thing.
The schtick is old. Get over it. Your party lost. If you have mental issues, emotional issues over a damn election then I'd suggest you stay off of public boards that offer differing opinions.
Sorry.. thems the facts jack.
Are you familiar with a legal case called Roe v. Wade? I mean, that extinguished rights for millions and millions of people. Gay rights are under attack. The Supreme Court, filled with his justices, are in fact likely to remove the gay marriage right. And as I expected, you're just denying that global warming is even worth talking about. Which disqualifies you from serious conversation.
The right for women to vote is enshrined in the constitution, if you didn't know that. And if that's your bar -- he's not that bad! He didn't nullify a constitutional amendment that would deprive women of any real opportunity to participate in public life -- then you're proving my point, not yours. You're citing as an accomplishment not doing the impossible. It's like saying of a basketball player, "well, he's not that bad -- look, he's never had a game in which he's been called for 10 fouls."
What you know of the Reagan years can apparently fit in a thimble. Reagan actually brought intellectuals into the conservative movement. Not all intellectuals. But to cite one example: Irving Kristol, whose son Bill Kristol was a lifelong Republican before becoming Never Trump. Because Irving and Bill Kristol, though I disagree with them on many issues, at least value truth and integrity.
The thing MAGA doesn't understand is that what they see as the privilege of the professional class was not unearned. Basically, MAGA consists largely of people who didn't do their homework in high school, got bad grades, didn't go to college, and are now pissed off that they are less successful than the kids who did their homework, busted their ass in college, in many cases obtained a post-graduate degree, and then worked very hard as a professional. Professionals are not just rich kids who inherit money. There are real questions of how income should be distributed, and whether very high earning attorneys in particular should earn that kind of money -- but those attorneys went to law school, good law schools, and worked 80 hour weeks as young attorneys.
Working class MAGAs think they are working hard when they have to put in 10 hours a week of overtime. They have no idea how much work is required in medical school. Or how much residents work (and they don't get overtime, and they don't get paid well in general). They just see the doctors driving around in their BMWs and it fills them with jealous rage.
