I get so pissed I can't see straight

When I read about the school Kavanaugh went to and realize that it's Democrats like me that are labeled "elitist".

Could someone explain why a blue collar white guy would support such a fucking preppie like Kavanaugh?

Talk about an elitist.

See, if you treat women with respect, Retrumplicans see that as a sign of weakness.

It's complete bullshit. They see Donnie "Fungus Dick", Kavanaugh and folks like Ted Cruz as "manly men".

Deep in their hearts they know that those folks would be the first ones to turn tail and run in a barfight, but since they talk tough, they fall for their bullshit.

In reality, what has happened to a large segment of white middle class men in this country is that folks like Donnie Short Fingers, Limbaugh and Hannity have grabbed them by their pussy...

at his golf courses, I wonder if his supporters realize they would not be allowed in those places.

These were obviously working class women, and all I could think was "Um, girlfriend, there is no WAY Trump is going to get anywhere near you. Look at what he marries/screws around with."

We are “self-described elitists.” Excuse me? That’s like saying someone is a self-described asshole. The assholes don’t realize their assholes. It’s what makes them assholes to begin with. I wanted to ask if he was a “self-described moron,” but I thought that might sound elitist!

That’s also why they love Trump. He’s a liar, a cheat, a user and an abuser. They are too so he’s one of them for real, only he’s rich, which is the only thing that’s different from them.

I can't count the number of folks making $16-$20 an hour that support $700,000.00 tax cuts to millionaires because they believe if they just keep working at their shitty jobs, when "they" become a millionaire, their taxes will be low.

It's hard to fight that kind of stupid.
