No. Straight to the army from school

So true and not just in politics.

Yes but I don’t think you can solve any of their woes. Damage was done decades ago. You can restrict immigration but realistically that’s probably going to harm the economy overall. My thinking is most people want a job and a stable life for their families. Unemployment is close to record lows...

Educated people are not the enemy and the attitude they are is dangerous. Look, the single strongest correlating factor in voting for Trump is lack of a college degree. Of course other people voted for him but you have to look at the main factors.

It’s not the educated people it’s the rich people so America votes in Trump with Musk as assistant.

I don’t claim it is helpful but you claim they vote for Trump because of that attitude yet the attitude is in response to voting for him.

There’s no way to get them on side I think it’s a case to wait until they are driven away by the republicans.

Yes I know. I just don’t get it though it doesn’t upset me and seems basically true as his base is based on that demographic. Yes it’s a bit condescending but then Trump condescends and dehumanises everyone in worse ways.

We’re going full circle. My original posts were that the anger and resentment is already there before voting and before anyone is called thick (which is largely imagined). It seems to be a chicken and egg thing. Your answers are constantly about being called thick (no one here has called you...

Just to add do you see there’s a certain hypocrisy to the fact you feel everyone thinks you’re stupid and talks down to you yet label clever people as bumbling junior offices with no common sense? It’s this kind of division that is exploited by politicians.

But people are asking fair questions and your response is largely just about being called thick. Who has called anyone thick? Yeah I was in the army too and get the arguments about common sense where I work now but to be honest in my view it’s largely nonsense. Like people have that view then...

There’s no way to respond to you because any questioning of your thought line or motivation is turned into you being called thick

It’s hard for people to understand their motivation especially when it’s against their own interest, seems based on spite and insecurity, and their arguments are incoherent. I mean what do you expect people to say?

Are they? You showed one example? Again it just comes across as insecurity.

I’m not sure how that follows or what you are getting at

I had a lot of Brexit voters in my family and workplace and this was the most consistent theme. People really feel this way but I don’t understand why.

He looked a bit raw but there was potential and he got a few goals from the bench often playing from the wing.

The crazy thing is you have to think he will get better yet because of that mentality. He has a hunger and drive that is world class.

As you say we have to wait and see if he does what he has said he does because if you mention 2025 it’s apparently just the left fear mongering rather than a comprehensive policy plan which they’ve published.

And presumably means it’s better that Trump taxes them directly?
