We aren't as dumb as you think


Donald Trump may believe that blue collar workers won't understand why he would fund PBS, etc., but he better believe they will understand the hunger on their children's faces when school lunches cease to be.

And they will understand when their neighbors or grandmothers begin to suffer from malnutrition and need more medical care or are forced out of their homes because senior meals stop.

They won't have much trouble figuring out that they can no longer afford to go to the doctor when they or their children are sick.

And they will probably have no trouble figuring out that the increased military budget will use their sons and daughters to fight his wars because they are too poor to make it any other way.

As education, medicine, food and freedom become increasingly the realm of the wealthy most of those excluded will realize they don't have it.

There are not enough rich people to elect Trump again, not if those suffering remember they have a choice and can vote to end their misery.
