More Red Meat??

[jaxind]

Is taking away college affirmative action more red meat for the deplorable base just like taking transgenders out of the military is??

1. Of course it is. They will like it even though they think college is a bad thing. n/t

[atreides1]

4. And why do they think college is a bad thing?

Because there are too many minorities being allowed to attend! Once this "justice" department begins its purge, and fewer minorities are in attendance, they will once again sing the praises of a good college education!!!

[Nay]

7. That's not the only reason -- most also think that college will:

wreck their kids' religious beliefs (and it often does)

give their kids airs that they are better than their parents ("the coal mine was good enough for me, and it's good enough for
him!&quot

their kids will turn into 'eggheads' - and who likes eggheads?? (anti-intellectualism)


There is also a meme going around about how so many WOMEN are going to college -- more women than men! Horrors! -- and since, in their minds, women are mostly all stupider than any man, it must be feminist favoritism that got the women in ahead of the more deserving men. This pisses in their cornflakes, and makes them denigrate education in general ("if the wimminz are doing it, it can't be worth much&quot .

8. I think there is anti-intellectualism mixed in with the racism. Libtard professors and all that. n/

2. As always.

Trmp is in even greater need of support these days, so his handlers will have him dog-whistling right and left. If he had any competence, he would be trying to accomplish things, but given what he is all he can do is try to scare people away from sane politics.

3. Yes, I think so and I am afraid it's not going to stop there...

Think of all the groups of people that the deplorables hate and love to blame - one by one they could be on the chopping block in some way shape or form.

[Nay]

9. Oh, yeah. I'm surprised they aren't going after women, too.

5. It would seem so...

6. But we've been assured

in another thread that The Donald is not a racist:

10. Another Group

Another group he went after to please the deplorable part of his base is Muslims with the Muslim ban!
