Trump Weird News - Trump - I'm The Debitiest !!!

It’s still amazing to me that Jesse Jackson, a close friend and confidant of MLKjr, who was there when Dr. King was assassinated, and who is still alive, but Democrats and the Democratic Party treat him like an unwanted ghost. I understand that certain other civil rights icons were more mailable and compliant and much more useful to neoliberalism, but yeah — you cannot convince me that if MLKjr were alive today, the Democratic Party wouldn’t shun, berate and treat him like some unreasonable extreme leftist who wasn’t being “pragmatic” enough.

There’s so many people who say shit like “I’m socially progressive, but fiscally conservative”, BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM WITH THAT.

You can’t claim to be progressive if your fiscal policies are designed to hurt the poor and benefit the greedy.

Overhearing someone actually say the phrase "its like socially liberal but fiscally conservative" is like seeing a unicorn made of solid shit.

““Fiscally conservative, socially liberal” = I’m cool with rich people being able to come out as gay but I’m also cool with working class people being kicked out of their homes or denied a job if they come out as gay.”

"I think we should tax-"

First of all, taxation is theft.

I really don’t understand how people can be socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Do people not realize that these things are tied together? That a lot of oppression is due to lack of resources or accessibility? If you think you have accomplished something all by yourself, I promise you, that you most likely didn’t. You literally and figuratively can not pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You think you got that job all by yourself? Someone had to give it to you. You opened that business all by yourself? Someone had to sell you things and give you money to get you where you are today. Someone had to build those roads. Someone created the resources and the opportunity for you to get to where you are today. Someone taught you the skills to get what you have today. Not everyone has that access, education, or resources to accomplish what you have. Some of it comes down to luck, privilege, help from others, and yes, self action. But don’t think for a second that it’s all your work. Don’t forget who helped you get you to where you are.
