Let's face it, a LOT of Trump's
supporters are angry white men with limited education and skills, as well as
older angry people--nearly all of them WHITE. Neither group seems
to realize is that the GOP has created the exact situation that they are mad
about. I can prove it.
The GOP made the economy slower as
it has attempted to sabotage President Obama on Day One on any bill that would actually
create jobs and upgrade skills. It failed until last week to pass a highway bill which has always been a bipartisan bill that rebuilds our ancient roads and bridges, not something to play games with. In Texas
for example they gutted education as the world became a high tech global
economy.
Result? Today we have 3 million high
tech jobs available today in the USA (TODAY!) that Trumps supporters and others aren’t qualified to
fill – but young Chinese and Indian workers DO have those skills. The GOP answer? Give tax breaks to companies who
then ship those jobs overseas. Democrats answer? Invest in providing the education and training
for Americans to fill them. (I cover this in my book “Better Times Ahead April
Fool” at www.BetterTimesAheadAprilFool.com)
The older angry people in the GOP
are mad because the world is changing, and it won’t be a whites-only majority. Tough. They also forget that Jesus was a Middle Eastern man (he certainly wasn't white). Stoking fear against minorities is putting
them in a squeeze because it’s a guaranteed electoral loser. Trump is insuring
it stays that way.
But its not just Trump. The entire
party has gone so far right it would reject Ronald Reagan is not strident
enough and too much of a “compromiser” (Reagan was in favor of banning assault
weapons as inappropriate, for example; he had drinks after 5 with the
Democratic Majority Leader and cut “deals” which is now considered heresy).
Stay tuned…it’s a crazy race in an
increasingly insane world of assault weapons, radicalized loners listening to
ISIS and the Rush Limbaugh’s of the world, a widening sectarian war in the
Middle East, the rise of right wing anti-immigrant political groups in an
economically stagnant Europe -- and social media brought to you by the global
Internet brewing up nationalism and xenophobia not possible since before World
War I.
None of this is promising for peace
and stability. There is a deafening
cacophony of phony experts and “opinion’s out there.
