without knowing the meaning of the word. They have been conditioned to hate like Pavlov's dog reacted to the bell.

..and will stick with that to their own detriment; nothing will change their mind. That's why I don't bother trying to change their minds; they'll have to learn on their own.

They're delighted with anything, no matter how detrimental to their own interests, that they think pisses us off. It's the craziest thing--has there ever been anything like this? I believe they think we look down on them (and I confess that I do).

I am of two minds about that. My parents weren't rich but I lived in a home, albeit a seven hundred square foot one with a pebble roof. My dad had a friend who lived in a trailer with his wife and kid. I didn't think twice about going there. Now when I think of trailers I think of Trump.

8. I don't look down on them because of economics

I look down on them because I believe they have no ethics. We have friends, a married couple, who are rich as Croesus and Trumpies. The husband owns a box factory, and the wife is a lawyer and college professor. When we try to talk politics with them, they tell us we are "elitists" by which I finally figured out they think we feel "holier than thou"--that we disapprove of their greed, or their lack of concern for the environment, or name your issue. The fact is, we *don't* feel holier than thou--we just can't understand how educated people could not have compassion for the less fortunate--and yet, and yet! They are generous donors to certain causes--yet they do feel, I think, that we feel morally superior.

And actually, I do feel morally superior

They slurp up Fox News and Limbaugh and many slurp the likes of Alex Jones. Everything else to them is, as with their Orange Hero , “Fake News”.......which is straight out of the playbook of Hitler and Goebbels.

Trump made some curious statements about running as a Democrat and had he actually done it I would have held my nose and voted for Jeb Bush or whoever might beat him. But apparently a lot of the right would have voted for Hitler if he could be brought back from Hell.

brainwashed for years and believe what they hear, and they all seem to repeat over and over what they heard. Propaganda is a bitch, and Putin has taught tRump well or was it Bannon and Stephen Miller.

Plus they don't read or believe in facts or truth. Plus do they really believe that this POS tRump will do anything for the American people??? Hate immigrants and separate children from their parents what kind of inhumane treatment is that, no healthcare....and the list goes on and on.

The only people benefiting are the rich, I really hope they choke on it.
