Here we go again! The losing vote? has taken to the streets to protest the resulying.......
It's just like tribal behaviour in my view...
Paul,
I agree, but it is part of the process of coming to terms with reality, letting off steam!
The protestors, likely more educated, likely knowing more about the carbon cycle but nothing about folk who get up at 4:00 in the morning to work with no chair or computer nearby, who belong to a different tribe. The latter
already assume that the government is not looking after their interests and know that the "American Dream" has slipped beyond their reach and into the hands of foreigners who have somehow jumped the line.
Republican leaders, as a tribe rejected and mocked Trump so he went around them and used language to recruit an uncounted unexploited segment.
That reminds me of one hot summer weekend, my son, then 8 years old (now a successful lawyer), after passing a schoolyard packed with basket ball players and their fans, noticed a neighbors tree full of ripe lemons and yelled excitedly, "Lemonade!"
So we secured permission, harvested armfuls of the ripe yellow fruit and worked as a team to cut and squeeze the juice, (adding sugar to disguise the tartness), and dilute with water to make it refreshing and loaded up to deliver it. My son set up his lemonade stand outside the fence of the school and ran a brisk business for an hour, accumulating more cash than he had ever seen his entire life! He was thrilled!
So isn't that what Trump did! He needed boost to those who tribally vote Republican and saw there were abundant "lemons" and he simply made speeches, "lemonade" just for them!
.....and they drank it up!
