Trump VS. AOC...working for it, versus having Daddy hand it to you.

@SaysHummingbird

Donald Trump refers to @AOC as a "young bartender, 29 years old."

Can people not see how he is mocking someone who, through hard work, went from tending bar to the U.S. Congress, implying that the norm is for people to inherit wealth and power like him?

Its just that 44-45% of this country feel that it is just swell to make fun of or insult people of color and especially WOMEN of color as the butt of any joke, period.

The 'people' (and I use that term extremely loosely here) who support the ass ferret and his cabal are evil bastards and they are responsible for enabling his rampant law breaking and flaunting of democratic norms and expectations...I hope they all experience the kind of pain they so freely distribute to others.

Trump’s brand of Fascism wants a society where there is little to no mobility between casts. If you are born poor, you die poor and powerless. It dictates that those born of a lower cast do not deserve wealth and / or power. Society must be rigid and highly structured to maintain these casts.

Trump is a eugenicist. He believes his genes are literally superior to those of lower casts, so the lower casts getting power and wealth is an unnatural abberation. They are not genetically suitable or capable to handle power and wealth.
