I think what has happened is that the story coming in from Social Media has normalised hate. Musk and Zuckerberg control the narrative. The billionaires are covering their trail.
Immigration is a problem. Mass immigration has become too much. Wars, repressive regimes, poverty and global warming has created a huge problem. Trump and Social Media have focussed on this (same with Reform in the UK). It is a problem, but the real problem is the Billionaires. Society has become totally unbalanced. The billionaires are clawing far too big a slice. They are costing us far more than we spend on migrants – particularly when you consider most migrants are hard-working people doing hard work in fields, hospitals, care homes and catering for low pay – jobs that the rest of us don’t want to do.
Immigration is not the problem; billionaires are the problem. They are exploiting us!
Social Media has scapegoated immigrants. There is a problem and they have exaggerated it. They’ve demonised socialism, caring, empathy and compassion – these things are seen as weakness. It’s all about strength, winners and losers, black and white. The real culprits – the billionaires who have been siphoning off more and more of the wealth – are controlling the narrative. The result is to empower racism, white supremacy and Nazis. Where these groups were a small minority they, due to the fear narrative of immigrants, Muslims and terrorism, soaked in conspiracy, deliberate undermining of authority, science, education and the media, have been sucking in more and more of the desperate, stupid, gullible and displaced. They blame immigrants instead of billionaires. Trump is orchestrating the fear and hate and targeting liberals. They like that. They have an enemy. It’s black and white. Trump puts forward a simplistic answer and a consistent set of lies. He’s in it for the power and money and is creaming the system – making millions. His family are raking it in.
Draining the swamp!!! He’s created a whole new swamp!!
He’s tapped into the white supremacists, gun lobby, evangelicals, Nazi groups and ‘We Will Not Be Replaced’ movement.
These deprived idiots who make up MAGA just hate. They see themselves as strong, macho types who despise the educated. They think the educated look down on them. Trump gives them a voice and simple answers they can understand. The fact that it’s populist nonsense doesn’t matter. They’ve bought into it. If it doesn’t work they deflect the blame on to sabotage from ‘liberals’.
Vance is an opportunist who bought into a road to power and wealth. He changed his tune and has become the attack dog, the sounding bell. He’s positioning himself to mimic Trump with more virulence. He’s going to take over MAGA and displace the old man. Vance has seen that the more extreme his shit the more the MAGA nuts lap it up. Whereas Trump is a narcissist with psychopathic/sociopathic tendencies, Vance is a calculated psychopath. The ambush in the White House showed his nature. He’s cruel and nasty.
