The heartland of America is angry. Angry about being marginalized for decades. Angry they cannot afford food or rent or gas or homes or healthcare. Angry their children are not safe at school.
The people who built our country are done with the same old politics, policies & promises.
Promises that take their hard-earned tax dollars and put them into the pockets of oft deviant and corrupt politicians.
Politicians who fly in private jets to indulge in clandestine affairs the likes have not been seen since Nero. Politicians who line their pockets with gold while kissing the rings of the lobbies to which they are beholden.
The heartland of our country is done. They want to fight. Decade after decade their lives have been marginalized while they watch oligarchs live unimaginable lifestyles.
Touring the world in yachts that leave a carbon footprint the size of a small city while they espouse the importance of clean energy. Billions made in the land of the free on the backs of the worker bees while our infrastructure collapses under the weight of corruption of the industrial military complex.
The industrial Military Complex. Take a listen to Eisenhower’s last speech as president of the United States. We start the wars and then sell our bombs to the countries that fight them. Our other biggest export? Fashion, materialism and the objectification of women as sex objects
Many of the heartland working class people do not know Trump’s election would most probably make their situation worse. And if they did, I am not sure it would make a difference.
Trump wants to fight. So do they.
Harris should stop bouncing around the country with bouquets of flowers and get more anger and rancor into her message.
From The New York Times:
"I just don’t like the way they’re playing it, telling us we should all be more optimistic when things just are not looking good right now," Mr. Howard said while warming up for a softball game in East Las Vegas. "They’re all out for themselves, not helping people like us over here. We just get the same promises, and not much is changing."
The tireless Americans who built our country are being forced to live in their cars and on the streets. Welcome to the new working-class homeless crisis.
Americans want to fight back. I do not blame them.
But I fear the consequences.
William Kevin Anderson
