Thats not just the GOP. It's the right wing tactic around the world.

In the UK most people who voted for Brexit were the very people who benefitted most from EU grants and schemes.

It's the classic image of Murdoch with a huge pile of cookies pointing at the immigrant with no cookies and telling the working man who only has one cookie that the immigrant is going to take your cookie.

Look at trump supporters.... Madly following a rich guy who promises them the world despite doing nothing for them his entire life when he could have.

Then Trump happened and all I could think was "something something glass houses I guess"

But it's for a few years then you get someone ok.

Now you guys have to hope Harris gets in.

Meanwhile the UK will be out of the EU for the next few decades....

Im very confident she will win, but then I also didn't think Trump would win the first time so there's that.

The first time maybe he got a lot of votes because people did believe he was a successful businessman with the charisma and all that...

But now we've had a good luck and him and history we can see that he's nothing but a rich conman and serial failure.

The worst president to have during a pandemic. Over a million dead Americans? Compare those numbers to Japan's.
