Why you need a safe space?

For N Carolina Repubs, the fact that Obama won their state in 2008 is like a blight on their honor as Southerners. They're desperate to hold onto power the only way they can which is by a variety of dishonest methods.

Sweet, so your rebuttal is " you guys are complaining too much".

You give Repub economic ideology too much credit. Trickle down isn't rain- it's virga. What those hopeful Trump constituencies will receive is likely little to is nothing in that regard. There's nothing in it for the all important job creators who'll just keep on keepin' on as they have for decades.

Those voters will have to make do with confirmation of their culture warrior mentality. They'll take the high hard one... and like it.

The Carrier deal is just one tiny little indicator of what may happen. First, 1,100 employees are told their jobs will continue. Next, it is only announced late in November that 350+ some-odd of those jobs were really lost. Whether it impacted Jones the local president, most of those families would've begun their Xmas shopping with confidence about the next year. That proves who the Elected One has in his thoughts: the people he is ostensibly trying to help, or himself for furthering his popular image among the faithful. But he broke faith, because he doesn't care about the numbers, doesn't care about the people.

So you wonder about his reactions to the CIA report and the CIA/FBI concurrence. It would seem if he cares so much about himself, he's also setting himself up to look guiltier than heretofore discussed directly in the media and daily news.

This is a new kind of politics. Fascists know how to stay in power by paying off those critical to their continued existence, like the rust belters who can keep them in office no matter what most of the rest of country thinks. Trump constituencies in CA for example will get some crumbs, but look for them to funnel the money much as possible to the midwest to maximize returns to their own interests.

This isn't some arbitrary supposition but how much of the world outside of westernized liberal democracy works, and it's evidently quite successful in its own way.
