Ironically, I partially agree with your post. Trump and the hard right


may very well win again.

WahooRQ lays out some of the facts better than I have, but the fact remains that most Trump voters are voting against their own interests, based on emotions about social issues more than anything else. If they were voting to help others, then I would consider it altruistic, but they generally are doing the opposite. Thus, I call it stupid. That is my honest analysis.

And if people can't handle a basic fact that 49.99% (50%) of any population are below average, then those are the same people who argue against science on a daily basis.

I don't mind getting the middle finger. Being polite in the last election sure didn't work. Maybe honesty will with the intelligent people who didn't vote in the last election.

However, I have some family members and HS friends who are among the working poor. I haven't tried to educate them as to why the GOP is screwing them with ACA and the new tax plan among other policies. They won't listen. I think the better strategy is to tell the truth to those who didn't vote in the 2016 election, and get them motivated to vote.
