Comment on Union leader endorsing Biden: ‘We’re not gonna waste a lot of time’ on Trump supporters

True. I work with some of the most (blind) Trump-loving southern rednecks who will talk all day about how much they hate the rich, don’t care about Marijuana, and just want to be left alone. It’s equal parts sad, infuriating, and endearing.

I lived in prime Trump Country during 2016, and a couple people told me that they admired Bernie because he was honest and also hated billionaires.

Plus I had a few guys on the verge of staging a takeover of the local concrete plant until Der Kommissar pointed out that I was describing a socialist cooperative.

  And that’s why Bernie would’ve had a better chance against Trump in the general election than Hillary did. But neoliberals and partisan Democrats absolutely hate having that truth being pointed out to them.
