Republicans Have Successfully Conned The Working Class

The Republican Party hasn’t done a single thing to help working class Americans in the past 40 years. Not one thing. And yet working class voters continue to put these charlatans in power. The reason is simple: The Republican Party has managed to con their way into power by preying on the fears of these voters, convincing them to vote against their own self interests. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains how this happened.

One of the worst habits that I have is a scrolling through the replies on Republican tweets. Uh, you know, when you see Ted Cruz tweet something out or Donald Trump or Rand Paul or any of these conservative groups, I immediately go to the replies cause I want to see if they're getting roasted. Or if people in this country are stupid enough to say, heck yeah, I love you. Well, earlier this week, Kellyanne Conway, uh, she attacked the professor from the hearing saying that, Oh my God, this woman went after working class voge voters. She was smug, she was arrogant, said all these, you know, if you work with tools for a living, you're beneath me, blah, blah, blah. And Kellyanne Conway was furious about this. She posted a clip from Fox news about how furious she was that this liberal elite law professor from Harvard was so condescending towards people who actually work for a living. Kellyanne Conway is full of shit folks. There isn't a single thing that the Republican party has done in my lifetime to benefit anyone in this country who works with tools for a living, who has to take a shower after they get home from work. They've done nothing. They have done nothing. And that's what drives me crazy about this because Kellyanne Conway is just gaslighting us, trying to make us think we're crazy when she in fact is the crazy one. But it's not just her. It's not just Trump or Cruz or Rand Paul or any of the other morons running the Republican party. It's the entire Republican party. And that has been their MO for 40 years. I am 36 years old as I sit here right now and not once in my lifetime. Has the Republican party done a single thing solely to benefit American workers? Not once, not once. And if you know of something, please let me know in the comments cause I would love to be wrong about this, but I know I'm not. Years of tax cuts. Where did those go? They went to the top years of deregulation. What did that do? You know? Does the average guy out there working on a car engine today to deregulation help him at all? You know the person working as a grocery store clerk did deregulation helped them? No, it didn't and it's stupid to suggest it, but Republicans say that it did. What it actually did was it makes that mechanic have to breathe in a little bit dirtier air. It makes that grocery store clerk, when they go on their break, have to drink water that might be contaminated with fracking chemicals we don't know because we deregulated the whole thing. That's where we're living in and it's all because of Republicans in some corporate Democrats, but nowhere near the extent of what the Republicans have done it's an attack on the working class. It's an attack on the non wealthy people in this country that has been going on since years before I was even born. I have lived my life with a corrupt and dysfunctional and anti human Republican party and I do not see that changing anytime in the near future. I don't, the Republican party hates American workers and I can say that with confidence because if they didn't, then they would have passed at least one simple policy in my lifetime that solely benefited American workers, but they haven't because they don't care.
