the angry white male

I found this post on another site


"I’ve heard and read a lot about the “angry middle class white male” voter lately. Well, let me tell you that I fit that description.

I’m so “blanking” pissed I can’t see straight!

I’m angry that white middle class males support a Republican Party that has done nothing but shatter their lives, send their kids off to endless war, wrecked their labor rights, screwed their wages and told their mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and granddaughters that “they aren’t smart enough and emotionally secure enough” to control their own health care.

- I’m pissed that they put Ronald Reagan into office twice, believing that it was “their” social safety net and economic protections, and NOT the profits of the 1% that had become bloated and ineffective.

- I’m pissed that they have declared their enemy to be the fire-fighter who lives down the street, the teacher who teaches their kids, or the government Financial Management Analyst that coaches their kids little league baseball team, simply because those “Americans” have a decent pension and benefits package. I’m extremely ticked-off that they don’t ask instead…WHY DO MY BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT PLANS SUCK SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

- I’m perturbed that they don’t realize that 400 years of slavery, followed by 150 years of “State-Sanctioned” racism and discrimination…in housing…in employment…in education…in law enforcement…in voting…in mobility…might, JUST MIGHT, have something to do with some folks being mired in abject poverty.

- I’m xxxxing apocalyptic that the White Middle Class watched 5 and 6 year old kids get their xxxxing brains blown out and their torsos blown in half by military grade weapons and ammunition magazines, and allowed some LaPierre asshat to convince them that we couldn’t do ONE reasonable xxxxing thing to make this mass-murder shit a little harder to carry out. That’s all we were asking…let’s just make killing massive amounts of people just a little bit harder. Instead they listened to this ass-pickle from the NRA, who they KNOW in their heart of hearts, would be the first prick to turn tail and run in a barfight.

- I’m pissed that they’ve given away just about all the labor rights and social justice progress that their forefathers fought and died for, without so much as a whimper.

- I’m beyond angry that they believed a guy with five Vietnam Era deferments and a guy that spent the war defending the Floribama Bar, were better suited to defend this country, or understand the sacrifices asked of our military, than the guy that did “back-to-back” Riverine tours in Nam with the Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars to prove it.

But what pisses me off the most is that they’ve become frightened little pissants…either brainwashed by incessant horseshit on talk radio or constantly told by Faux News that, “others” and NOT their own “effing” votes and support for the asshat party, are the reason they’ve been held back. It’s never the fact that they’ve bought into the “trickle-down” bullshit that has caused their wages to stagnate, their social safety net to be destroyed, or their employment right to be diminished…NO…it’s always the fault of some “other”.

-Some mythical Welfare Queen
-Some immigrant picking lettuce for $20 a day
-Some LGBT person who just wants to be left the “eff” alone to love who they love and prosper in freedom
-Some Union Member that patrols their streets, teaches their spoiled ass kids, or protects their home from fire.

Hell NO! Admitting that they’ve been played like fools for the past 30 years would require them to blame themselves, and they are way too cowardly to do that.

So what will they do? They’ll continue to vote for pricks like Donald Trump, or Chuck Grassley, or John Kasich, or Sam Brownback, in the hopes that maybe if we just pump more wealth to the top, it’ll all start trickling down eventually. Bet hey, when it doesn’t, they’ll just blame the liberals, the hippies, the dope smokers and the queers.

These asshats, most making between $42-$47K a year with a shitty 401K and bare-bones health benefits, identify their enemy as their fellow American making between $46-$51K a year with a decent pension and benefits…and that pisses me off to no end. "

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

I googled the first line and it was a post on another site, not a column or news story, from an anonymous author much like we are here. So, no, no attribution necessary.

Ever notice that every time you bump against the rules you fail miserably?

If you'd like to save yourself some embarassment at the hands of a witless, out of his league mod, why don't you PM your objections to things to me and save the entire membership reminders of your ignorance?

Assuming Trump is nominated (a stretch currently) this is the last month's RCP poll average, Clinton Vs Trump:
RCP Average 3/16 - 4/13 Clinton 49.0 Trump 39.1 Clinton +9.9

So good luck with that.

thanks. As if we don't have enough garbage to process over here.


"I’ve heard and read a lot about the “angry middle class white male” voter lately. Well, let me tell you that I fit that description.

and right off the bat we sink to the level of identity politics.

I’m so “blanking” pissed I can’t see straight!

I agree - you can't see straight.

I’m angry that white middle class males support a Republican Party that has done nothing but shatter their lives, send their kids off to endless war

America has been at war continuously since the end of WW2, both democrat and republicans.

wrecked their labor rights

Stupid. The american employer is the one that is enslaved.

screwed their wages and told their mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and granddaughters that “they aren’t smart enough and emotionally secure enough” to control their own health care.

Source? My understanding is that it was an argument over forcing employers to pay for something see above) and the cost of covering electable procedures that shouldn't be covered in the first place.

- I’m pissed that they put Ronald Reagan into office twice, believing that it was “their” social safety net and economic protections, and NOT the profits of the 1% that had become bloated and ineffective.

I have no idea was only 8 years old at the time - that said I am shocked that a president that had some of the largest government expansions coupled with tax increases in the last 50 years, isn't something that jives with you. You voted for didn't you? For that social security benefit. lol egg on your face.

- I’m pissed that they have declared their enemy to be the fire-fighter who lives down the street

I am pissed that we pay fire fighters to march in parades and have BBQs all day long. Have you seen a fire station lately? It is the epitome of government waste.

the teacher who teaches their kids

Because they are in it for themselves, not the kids. Public sector unions are cancer and should be nuked from orbit. FDR the socialist queen said so himself.

or the government Financial Management Analyst that coaches their kids little league baseball team

Because here's the thing - if I say I am taxed too much or the debt to too damn high - just threaten to shut their little league down. We'll just have to rely on private sponsors (doh!)

simply because those “Americans” have a decent pension and benefits package.

They don't? Even Chick Fil A is sending kid to college. What fecking planet do you live on?

I’m extremely ticked-off that they don’t ask instead…WHY DO MY BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT PLANS SUCK SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO CONTROL YOUR OWN FINANCES!!!!

- I’m perturbed that they don’t realize that 400 years of slavery, followed by 150 years of “State-Sanctioned” racism and discrimination…in housing…in employment…in education…in law enforcement…in voting…in mobility…might, JUST MIGHT, have something to do with some folks being mired in abject poverty.

This is true. State sanctioned slavery mind you. The state has also subjugated blacks with welfare systems to rely on their votes every 2-4 years. Democrats (and some republicans) understand that a welfare recipient will not vote objectively.

- I’m xxxxing apocalyptic that the White Middle Class watched 5 and 6 year old kids get their xxxxing brains blown out and their torsos blown in half by military grade weapons and ammunition magazines

You are more likely to get killed by a Muslim or a drive-by then a 5-6 year old.

and allowed some LaPierre asshat to convince them that we couldn’t do ONE reasonable xxxxing thing to make this mass-murder shit a little harder to carry out. That’s all we were asking…let’s just make killing massive amounts of people just a little bit harder. Instead they listened to this ass-pickle from the NRA, who they KNOW in their heart of hearts, would be the first prick to turn tail and run in a barfight.

Did we just locate Lensy in the wild?

- I’m pissed that they’ve given away just about all the labor rights and social justice progress that their forefathers fought and died for, without so much as a whimper.

The bolded should clue us all into what the real agenda here is. Fecking authoritarian regressives have infested the liberal left - its disgusting.

and Lenin, Stalin and Mao are only forefathers in China and Russia, is that where you are from?


- I’m beyond angry that they believed a guy with five Vietnam Era deferments and a guy that spent the war defending the Floribama Bar, were better suited to defend this country, or understand the sacrifices asked of our military, than the guy that did “back-to-back” Riverine tours in Nam with the Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars to prove it.

I have no idea what you are talking about here - might be legit.

But what pisses me off the most is that they’ve become frightened little pissants…

Who are you taking about?

either brainwashed by incessant horseshit on talk radio or constantly told by Faux News that

Give specific examples. You know the left media also sounds like the modern Pravda - I do not see you ranting about them so I assume ...

“others” and NOT their own “effing” votes and support for the asshat party

True. Neocon authoritarians are a problem. But most of the new supporters of the now coined alt-right are libertarian in nature who just want to be taxed less, smoke some weed and start a business without submitting to slavery by bureaucracy and an irrational demographic. They are also attracting liberals at what should sound alarm bells for your ideology.

are the reason they’ve been held back.

That right - blame everyone but yourself. That's the crux of your problem right there you narcissistic brat.

It’s never the fact that they’ve bought into the “trickle-down” bullshit

be specific. what exact policies within the government is "trickle down". DC is "money trickles up, shit rolls down hill"

that has caused their wages to stagnate

Check out the payroll, capital gains and corporate tax dawg.

their social safety net to be destroyed

The social safety net is alive and well back on planet earth. They are getting ready to debate universal income, hardly kosher in society that is "destroying social safety nets"

or their employment right to be diminished…NO…it’s always the fault of some “other”.

Holy shait this is ironic - lets rewind:

"“others” and NOT their own “effing” votes and support for the asshat party are the reason they’ve been held back."



-Some mythical Welfare Queen

Almost 50% of the US is on some form of welfare.

-Some immigrant picking lettuce for $20 a day

Making up numbers now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guest_worker_program


-Some LGBT person who just wants to be left the “eff” alone to love who they love and prosper in freedom

Curious. Does this include calling all bakers in the state, and when you find the homophobe destroy their business, sue them for millions and ruin their personal lives?

-Some Union Member that patrols their streets, teaches their spoiled ass kids, or protects their home from fire.

OMG Firefighters are union now?

Hell NO! Admitting that they’ve been played like fools for the past 30 years would require them to blame themselves, and they are way too cowardly to do that.

Atta is that you?

So what will they do? They’ll continue to vote for pricks like Donald Trump, or Chuck Grassley, or John Kasich, or Sam Brownback, in the hopes that maybe if we just pump more wealth to the top, it’ll all start trickling down eventually. Bet hey, when it doesn’t, they’ll just blame the liberals, the hippies, the dope smokers and the queers.

I have bad news for you, the liberals and dope smokers and queers are leaving your side in droves. You are too authoritarian.

These asshats, most making between $42-$47K a year with a shitty 401K and bare-bones health benefits, identify their enemy as their fellow American making between $46-$51K a year with a decent pension and benefits…and that pisses me off to no end. "

and more government is the answer, just like its been the "answer" for the last 80 years.

The problem of identity politics in this country results from the political elite legitimizing the identity politics of certain favored demographics and in doing so permits the oppression of those not members of the "protected class."
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

The next wave of authoritarianism will not be jack booted thugs, it will be PC police with rights scaled to the color of your skin, gender and sexual preference.

There has been some surprising backlash, such as the universities - but it has become too mainstream and too plentiful to not have an effect on our future.

People are already getting thrown in jail for opinions on the internet. Its already here.

It's usually not that authoritative. Imagine if your or my opinions were published to your employers or professional organizations? I imagine what has been said here could cause many to lose their professional licenses and thus their marriage, mortgage, or children.
