Interesting tweet from an establishment supporter: re: Sanders and Trump
This set of tweets caught my attention last night:
"2/ A big reason why a lot of us really loathe ppl like Trump (& Sanders, etc) is that they seize on very real working class fear/anxiety.."
"3/ ...and offer snake oil solutions that only make things worse (for the working class & American society more broadly)..."
"4/ and it also lets incompetent, immoral political elites - the ones responsible for this mess - stay in power"
Is that how supporters of the establishment think? "Well, we fucked the little guy these past few decades, the middle class is shrinking---BUT the people really at fault are these damn outsider candidates! Shame on them for resonating with real people, they are the reason why the immoral establishment exists! These simpletons should know what's best for them and get in line."
Comments like those are why I'm not voting with the establishment anymore. They know the nation is hurting, but would rather keep things status quo for their own benefit. This goes far beyond the D vs R pissing match...it's looking more like this is a "haves vs have nots" election.
