(36,013 posts)I hear you about carpetbaggers and morons. But in your mind, recall that carpetbaggers have corrupted the structures of democracy voting for over 160 years of U.S. history. They groom voter gullibility. They groom moron candidates.
The situation in GA directly connects to slavery by other names. The ultimate goal of carpetbaggers is to clear the plain for the occupation of big money rule. It is the very point of the Koch network picking tools like Walker and Lake. Charles Koch said, " I don't just buy influence, and hope candidates do and say. I buy the right to tell them what to do and say." Also, "If you don't have the courts, you got nothing."
(from Jane Mayer's Dark Money)
This isn't about stereotypes or stupidity politics as the ultimate danger to democracy.
This is about corporate capture of democracy from candidate down to voter -- the goal being to make quasi transient work slaves think they're free on a corporate campus the slaves thought was their country. The absolute tell of the game afoot, is when Trump and Lake say, "if you don't get out there and fight like hell, you're not going to have a country."
