Al-
I don't think he's saying that's why all of Trump's voters voted for him, just a certain band of people. I disagree with a lot of the article and some of the stuff Hedges says generally, but I respect him because he means what he says and knows a hell of a lot about the Middle East.
At least with people like Hedges, he tries to understand why people voted the way they did and why certain groups are racist. But with people like Odeon, they aren't capable of understanding route causes of anything, they are only capable of understanding the mainstream media's narrative and anyone who questions it has a problem according to him. We see here he couldn't understand the article, but just blamed that on the author. For all of Odeon's accusations of people having reading comprehensions, it is actually Odeon who has the problem. If you make a point he cannot adress, it's because the other person is stupid or racist. If you post information he didn't know about then you're a "conspiracy theorist". That's the little world he lives in and he'll never change. Not surprising people like ace didn't understand it when he just reads headlines and still struggles with those.
I understand precisely why people voted the way they voted. They had a choice between being manipulated by emotion by someone who did not have their own interests at heart, or they were manipulated by fear by someone who did not have their best interests at heart.
I understand what I read. I just react badly to fascists, sexists and racists.
Yes but let's be real. You are an idiot.
Who exactly are you calling fascists, sexists and racists? Trump voters? What all 61 million? Okay. Thanks for coming.
I described Trump (and Hilary) voters as "They had a choice between being manipulated by emotion by someone who did not have their own interests at heart, or they were manipulated by fear by someone who did not have their best interests at heart."
You quoted it yourself above. How the fuck can I make it any clearer for you?
To be honest, your the type who thinks in tune with Breitbart. I therefore doubt that there's anything between your ears that could possibly enrich my life. Consider this post me leaving the arguement.
You won. And first prize is that your kids (particularly your daughters) get to live in the society your attitudes defend. Enjoy.
