    We live in an era of mass communication, unlike what was feasible during any other point in history. More now than ever the working class is the working class wherever they are. The working class of the United States have much more in common with us than they do the ruling class.

    We should absolutely be promoting an understanding of their struggle. Nationalism is an illness, even if it’s nationalism to a non-fascist state.

      And over a third looked at his platform, shrugged, said ‘eh, who cares; I’m not going to bother to vote; not as if I’ll be impacted anyways.’

      They decided a criminal, Nazi-lover, and grifter isn’t that different from a PoC woman who at least wanted to run a sensible and functional government (even if some of her policies weren’t the best).

      Which means, since they didn’t think Trump was a problem, they were fine with this outcome. They don’t care that this happened.
