      Respectfully, liberals blamed Republicans.

      The working class, and most of America, blames the Dems, and no matter how much reality you feed them, no matter how bad material conditions get, their brains are too damaged by propaganda to understand anything except “Dem bad, illegals bad, welfare bad”.

      Part of this is Dems allowing the Overton ratchet to exist as controlled opposition. It’s the logical conclusion to their game. This could only ever end one way, and it’s the way we are seeing it now.

      The USA has a long, long, long way to fall.

        they did polling and found that a majority of people blame the Republicans, which has a lot to do with the fact that they control every branch

        The working class, and most of America don’t suppory Republicans. They also don’t support Dems. They usually don’t vote for obvious reasons. Polling showed most of the country blamed Republicans.

        The working class is not the Republican base. Its not the Dem base either, but this is a pretty strange view of the working class in the US and most of Americans. Respectfully

        the working class isn’t the gop’s target base, the petty bourgeoisie is. in fact, it’s pretty rare for dems to lose any high-turnout presidential election, because the majority of americans don’t own businesses. i doubt the average member of the working class spends a whole lot of time hating welfare, dems, or even immigrants. even if you don’t consider the polls, the president gets blamed for everything.
