1st of all, most Trump supporters aren't in dire straits. Second, the folk who are actually hurting aren't getting help because of the GOP. https://twitter.com/ckilpatrick/status/794554563923734528 …

@ckilpatrick Beyond that, why is it so hard for y'all to accept that the economy is way better today than it was when Obama took office?

@ckilpatrick You sound jealous that the Black POTUS is smarter than all the GOP fucks who obstructed his economic agenda. Bless your heart.

I love how these teabaggers suddenly give a shit about labor participation now that White dudes in "real America" can't find a good job.

Y'all haven't given two shits about unemployment for as long as it's been double for Blacks what it is for Whites, so fuck your "anxiety".

Y'all were 👄 Mitt's ass when he said he'd lower unemployment to 6%, but now that it's 4.9% you're anxious. GTFOH. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/wow-6-percent-sounds-pretty-good … pic.twitter.com/j5ZbTAozf0

It isn't Obama's or the Democrats' fault that White men voluntarily gave up *competing* in the American workplace. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/707756955066994692 …

Democrats have repeatedly warned White ppl about voting their labor rights away to the GOP. They chose not to listen, but they're anxious.

Likewise, America and the world aren't going to keep propping up fossil fuels and killing the planet just so White dudes can avoid change.

Y'all had a good go of it in oil/gas, coal, and finance, but it's time for us to stop suffering just so White dudes can feel superior.

Add guns and the military industrial complex. Every sector in which predominately White dudes have found great success is toxic and lethal.

The privilege of being anxious about economic conditions that you yourself created by voting GOP, that still aren't as bad as POC have it.

That's this whole election in 140. Trump, Bernie, and all the Bros in between; all mad that the expiration date on privilege finally came.

Meanwhile the Bros are in my mentions singing the praises of the same supply side economics that are allegedly making them so damn anxious.

Some of y'all don't seem to understand that GOP policy dictates reliance on a for profit healthcare system, wage stagnation and inflation. https://twitter.com/ajmalalami/status/794573255424311301 …

The same folk who want you to believe they support Trump b/c they're in "dire straits" elected the GOP in '10 & '14 to cut SNAP and SSDI.

If y'all are in such "dire straits", and wage stagnation is the root, why are you against workers' unions and organizing for better wages?
