I agree! And I feel it is critical for all lower and middle income people to come together - to stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the wealthy’s divide-and-conquer tactics. I can’t make Trump supporters listen to me, or keep them from insulting me, but I will not insult them. We all need to wake up from this spell we’re under, that we are each others’ enemies.
We need to tell the truth, simply, repeatedly, over and over. To me that includes facts about the growing wealth gap, the needs that government can meet for those of us who are not rich, initiatives Democrats tried to pass that were blocked by Republicans, and other facts that are not discussed enough.
E.g., any time Donald Trump riding down that golden escalator is mentioned, we need to add that he really did pay actors to play his supporters. Rachel Maddow reported on it.
Also when Social Security is mentioned, we should hammer home that currently only the first $168,000 of income is taxed for Social Security, so the rich pay a much smaller percent of their incomes toward Soc Sec than the rest of us. Guess who doesn’t want to change this, but instead says we can’t afford “entitlements” and they need to be cut?
