The more capitalist it becomes the more they call it communist.

I don't care that much for Hasan either way but that is a perfect take.

    I was actually talking about this to a friend last night the same way Hasan is now.

    Regardless of how you want to paint the actual intentions behind this move by Trump, it demonstrates why so many working class people were enamored with him. He comes off as so relatable and genuine when he tells them how he knows the food better than the kids cooking it. It doesn't matter how bullshit it is, this is why he is a champion for chuds everywhere. He's his own brand of corruption and selfishness that is at times against the establishment of America, and his fans love it. They feel like he is the successful version of themselves.

    Corpo Biden doesn't want acknowledge the derailment, and Trump makes a point to use it as political brownie points. He doesn't care if it might hurt the rail companies, he just cares if it helps himself. That is why chuds see him as this maverick when he is just as much of a corporate lapdog as anyone else. He actually makes some kind of effort to appeal to the average person.

    The Democrat's strategy is to just tell you they are not a Republican and shame you if you don't back them.

      I think people were mainly sick of the empty suit neoliberals and Trump sort of just managed to channel that
