AWG's

Welcome to AnandTech. I see you're new here. P&N, believe it or not, is for discussion. Your thread premise is too slight and your addition of "AWGs" to your pic only OP is not enough for a post that would be better inserted into someone else's thread, but with more . . . WORDS.

I have to say Trump without hoping, has brought a lot of people together. Not the people that will vote for him though.
Obviously I am not a Republican, but I am ashamed for them, that they could not do better than this.

Idiots who think they are special and entitled to something only because they were born in the USA, even though they can't even get a college degree, or even vote their own self interest.
Ironically they also feel that these things they are entitled to as "real Americans" are going to come to them through transferring as much of their wealth as possible to the rich through tax breaks and waiting for it to trickle down, or supporting state politicians who will keep their families from getting health care through expanded Medicaid. No wonder they are so angry all the time.

Edit your first post and add some kind of comment. Moderators do not like it when someone post just a picture or video in the opening post.

Why do you feel ashamed for me? I am right wing conservative republican, and I do not need your pity.

Stop right there, not everyone is cut out for college.

Someone has to do manual labor that makes your life possible. Just because someone does not go to college does not make them an idiot.

You can't control who I pity, and who I don't.

Sure, but being an uneducated manual laborer in today's world means you are most likely not going to be in the middle class, because of you, not immigrants and China.

The thread is beginning to resemble the "everything-you-say-bounces-off-me-and-sticks-on-you" of Trump's recent retorts to Hilly's public statements.

There has been a rural-urban contrast just for who dominates in registered voters. I'm hypothesizing that the mostly-all white cohort of Trump supporters have a distribution in a rural-to-urban gradient which declines as you move toward major market and break-of-bulk points, or from the country to the city. They're distributed across the spectrum, but differently.

The high-school-limited component merely correlates with the group. Among the more articulate in the Trump organization are his family, paid surrogates and possibly some "True Believers" who think they're great armchair political philosophers and otherwise want to "drown it an a bathtub." Where else does the Tea Party have to go?

To add a little ethnic profiling, Boris Epshteyn and Paul Manafort speak, behave or look like characters from the "Sopranos" or globally-linked persons-of-interest on a "Law and Order" episode. Every time Epshteyn pops up on the TV, I keep thinking either Brighton Beach or Little Italy. Of course he's "Boris" and "Epshteyn," so put your chips on squares accordingly.

But the racial animus has been just under the surface since 2010. Thus this obsession with "PC" in matters that Obama referred to as "impolite."

I suppose you could design a survey and take a large sample on the less fanciful aspects.

I can also give my thoughts about ordinary people in focus groups I'd seen on the tube for the last year. I'll hold on that. . . .

I will fix everything!
No more crime. No more unemployment. No more Isis. I will do it myself.
I have sacrificed a lot.

I am floating the idea of appointing Ivanka to the Cabinet.
She is incredible. Everybody loves Ivanka.

No wonder they are so angry all the time.

Picture this:

Lots of folks that vote Repub receive entitlements "from Obama himself" like Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, Obamacare, Housing Allowances, Gov't Pensions, etc. etc. and they like having those benefits and many of them would be destitute and/or gravely ill without said "freebies".

But they are also being told by the RNC and the hard core far right wing weenies that receiving those "freebies" from the government is a huge sacrilegious NO-NO and that only Democrat Commie Socialists Liberal freeloaders think it's OK to receive ANYTHING the gov't is offering them. REAL Republicans would shun these offerings because they're all bribes to vote Democrat and will destroy their morals and good standing with the Republican Party if they are partaking in the gov't give-away's.

So I can understand why so many of them are angry. But it seems to me that they are mostly angry at themselves for having to have a need to accept Medicare and Medicaid and all of those other gov't offerings that they can't live without even as they are compelled to speak and act against those Damn Democrat Commie Freeloaders that are bilking the honest hard working folks that make up the Repub Party.



A fine conundrum they are in indeed.
