Please explain how this is different than perpetuating blatant economic


falsehoods to stoke the fire of class warfare.

I agree that ginning up racism, nationalism, etc in order to drive votes is deplorable. It's one of the many reasons I voted for Clinton instead of Trump despite broadly agreeing with Trump more on "the big picture" (to the extent that he ever put ideas forward). But so is ginning up jealousy and resentment for success and wealth legally earned.

  It's not a movement. It's a protest. -- Beerman 03/23/2017 10:25AM
