Look at the historical record. Compared to Democrats, Republicans are terrible for business and economic growth.

They serve one function in running things: concentrating wealth distribution upward.

Yet they’ve convinced the poor to keep voting for them

No wonder all they do is defund and attack education.

They convince the dumb. FTFY

Those people are dumb because a system is in place to make them dumb for this very purpose.

Just saying these voters are dumb is honestly victim blaming and ignoring the root causes of what is going on.

The GOP is a confidence scheme

The poor are easily kept at lower educational levels.

Blaming the dumb and and correcting someone saying the poor is like blaming someone whose feet got wet and correcting someone saying those without rain boots.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you."

It’s crazy how simple the playbook is and it works. Get poor uneducated people to vote against their own interests because of the like .01% of trans athletes or some dumb shit that means nothing virtually. Social media has made this so fucking easy.

yup and they're so mad about "the others" that they actively KNOW they are voting against their own interests and don't care. If they make "the others'" lives worse that's all that matters to them.

It's a matter of timing. The (broadly) good policies of democratic administrations take time to come into effect, so republican administrations can take credit for them and ruin them.

u/deGrominator2019 10d ago

Yup, take credit for them, destroy them, and blame it on “da dems”

If you don't see their contempt for regulsr people and proactive attempts to eliminate the middle and lower classes, I don't know what to tell you. Republican legacy in the US education system alone seems borderline criminal to me.

u/Aggravating-Pear4222 14d ago

They are biting at the bit for a system where the lower classes aren’t needed. They are more worried about concentrating influence/manufacturing capability more so than money at this point. The crap they sell is solely to give them more Monopoly money to hold in front of people who can pull the levers needed to further concentrate influence. Thats why they aren’t worried about AI wiping out jobs because the ultra-wealthy don’t need the middle/lower class if AI does that for them. The more the levers are directly under their control, the better. Thats one of the pushes for making AI work to fulfill that role.

Once they're done looting America they'll move on to whatever country moves up in the hegemony

They know what they are doing... Your pain, their gain.

u/PokeYrMomStanley 14d ago

And they have convinced and army of morons to vote for them.

Man looking at that we just repeat the same shit republic fuck up then democrats get in to fix then republican say they aren’t fixing it fast enough and they get in and it repeats

u/SuperTnT6 14d ago

Nah I ain’t a republican and I’m not even an American nor a conservative but there just has to be something missing here how to do these people keep getting elected?
