@zachthamm9595 True, but I think it goes further than just blue collar who only vote on a couple of very narrow points. I went to U.Illinois an one of my frat brothers was from Alton, just across the river from St. Louis. I recently saw an Episode of "Abandoned" about St. Louis. St. Louis has gone form the heydays of the late 80s early 90s where it had a population over 650,000, was growing and had major manufacturing plants for companies like McDonnel Douglas to the current state of about 300,000 and has fire sales where they sell entire schools (as in the buildings and land). How the fuck does a city that once held the Olympics fall so far? And its not the only one, we all know about Detroit and other places. Then there is the Opioid Crisis. Seriously the Sackler's thought they could sell an Opioid that wasn't addictive, when every other opioid is addictive. I Saw this recently and its shameful -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG0nqRXLDOg Watch this if you have time if you don't at least watch the part after 52:40 where Richard Wolff uses West Virginia as an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g1aMsDYJCc Its still freakish to hear a Marxist justify that those people were voting in their best interest with Trump. This is where the monumental problem actually is. Everybody on the other side simply dismissed these people and let Trump radicalize them so far that they now do what they do. So what does America do with them? These aren't 74million radicalized Muslims in another country with Ak47s. These are 74million radicalized well armed Americans inside America with a giant stockpile of ammunition.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov, News Week, 1980. “Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.” ― Rod Sterling in his introduction to the Twilight episode “The Obsolete Man” originally aired on June 2, 1961 on CBS. “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” ― Voltaire “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ― Aldous Huxley “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ― Mark Twain “Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche "When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent." ― Isaac Asimov And 2 of the best: “I think it would be very, very, I think we’d have a very, very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, we’d solidify what we’ve done, and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done” ― Donald Trump answering the NY Times on his 2nd term agenda. August 2020. “Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don’t know what it is. I keep myself in a state of utter confusion.” ― Colonel Flagg of the CIA (M.A.S.H.)

@zachthamm9595 For starters America has NEVER had a true working class party. Both Parties started among elitists who thought they knew better. The Dems only started adopting the working class when they went with the "New Deal" tracking back to their earliest days you get a pack of pro-slavery white supremacists. Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and others have Labour Parties that started among the trade unions. Yes in recent decades they have dropped that for the "New Labour" which is basically a pack of elitist over educated wankers singing versions of Kumbaya, but at least they have some foundation in the working class. The rest of Europe is similar and actually have Communist/Marxist parties that aren't the repugnant Stalinist Totalitarian pieces of garbage the Russians served up across the Eastern Block. But even they have gone through a variation of "New Labour" and are no mainly overeducated wankers as well.

@lorenzoblum868 I saw you other comment and it made sense, but why is "Stupid people in large groups." an Oxymoron? Considering Hitler's use of rallies in the past, North Korea's "Massed Games" and Trumps use of rallies them now. It seems more likely than not that stupid people like to gather in large groups and reinforce each others stupidity. Particularly if their leader is in politics. If your looking for a real oxymoron try this: "Honesty in politics"

@nilesbutler8638 Agreed - Hannity is a poisonous snake who keeps biting America in the ass.

Include in the impeachment all those who participated and made this disaster Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Rudy Giuliani, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and anybody else who has an official position that can have them impeached.

Not anywhere as much as CNN. Their entire Business plan is "Trump Bad" they have 8 more days until they have nothing. Seriously what are CNN going to do after next week other than weather reports.

@robinvik1 Its why impeachment is so important. He needs that mill stone hung round his neck. But it must not stop with Trump. All those who made this happen have to be kicked out of office and then barred from all future office.

@robinvik1 I got the take on CNN's business model from Prof. Mark Blyth - I just extended it a bit.

@jamieg2427 Who? CNN - well what other footage do they have from the last 4 years? I see reports that twitter's share price has tumbled with their ban on Trump. Really - if their business model was that narrowly focused they deserve to fail. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

@hcs4life21 Honestly I just want Trump to go away. We have so many REAL issues to deal with and they are not just American issues. Climate Change, Wealth Disparity, Homeless and Stateless millions and even some more basic things like water & food. That's on top of COVID.

@zachthamm9595 I spent the day watching a series of vids by Richard Wolff on Marx & Marxism. I don't Prof Wolff when he is on his high horse of slamming capitalism because when you look at the outcomes Marxism has delivered its just as bad and in many cases worse. At one point he made a valid point that capitalists only count financial costs in their evaluations. And that is true. Nobody in any corporation considers what the social cost of a decisions is because Milton Friedman made sure of that. But likewise I'll happily challenge any Marxist on the social and environmental outcomes in those states that ran on a Marxist platform for the last 70 years. All anybody needs to do is look at the outcomes in placed like the Aral Sea or the starvation & famines that have dogged China and North Korea. The simplest fact is that all these "isms" have their faults and if you get the wrong people in power and let them abuse their power then those faults get magnified and exacerbated and ends up in tears. It was Germany's turn in 1945, then it was Russia's turn 32 years ago and now its America's turn and before long it will be China's turn too.
