🔥 CONVERSATIONS FROM TENNESSEE: “I know I cannot be the only person that feels this way…” He asks how so many people can feel more connected to corrupt billionaires like Trump and Musk and think their hard-working neighbors are their enemies. 😳

Sadly, things like the prosperity gospel make that easier to understand. When people are taught that wealth is evidence of virtue, success, or even God’s favor, it becomes easier to identify with billionaires they’ll never meet while looking down on struggling neighbors whose lives look a lot like their own.

It makes them feel superior. Look at the most visceral neonazis, white supremacists. they are among the most ignorant people around the world, but they think the color of their skin makes them better. Trump fuel their hatred & prejudices.

You're definitely not alone. The mental and physical exhaustion is hitting normal sane people who are empathetic and compassionate very very hard right now. Watching our fellow Americans turn into cruel racist hateful zombies for a conman is something I never thought I would see.

Here’s your answer.

The Billionaires of the Epstein Class have used their fortunes to buy up media, so they can use that media to spread division and hatred, not at the rampant income inequality, but at imagined cultural conflicts to pit us against each other.

Who benefits from turning Americans against each other? Not Americans. Not America.

Propaganda. All over the internet, right wing cable, and the churches repeat it.

Got you, fam

Yes! This is why every time I see poll results showing a 33% approval rate for that 🍊💩🤡, I have to ask who TF are those fucking people anyway!?!?!? That is fucking Trump Derangement Syndrome!

You can blame a lot of it on rightwing 'christianity' going back to the 70's. Racism and the Confederacy are still alive and kicking.

My neighbor here in Michigan loves Putin and thinks he’s a devout Christian, and says Zelenskyy is evil. She shakes with hatred if mention the name “Obama” and calls Democrats “communists.” She only admires white male billionaires. It’s a widely pervasive mental problem.

@FoxNews & right wing radio before them targeted the baby boomers with a constant stream of fear mongering & culture wars for 4 decades while they implemented the scam of trickle down economics. It was always a scam.

His name is rupert murdoch and he needs to be called to the carpet and made to answer some serious questions about his work here since the 80s and its true nature. Why is this not happening - he's old? So what, so are all the seniors he's harmed/killed with his lie-spinning.

Not alone… you are NOT alone‼️ But it sure does feel that way… and perhaps THAT is the power we’ve given to the #Billionaire #Oligarchy @POTUS @GOP #TrumpCrimeFamily #ENOUGH_is_ENOUGH‼️ #VoteThemOut

I feel the same. It shocks, saddens, disappoints and angers me to know anyone, especially friends or family who support this regime that hates people I love.

America has always had a philosophy that one should always follow the popular kids in school, it affirmed that one was with the in-crowd, the cool kids. As adults they search for the same thing. People are not to hard to figure out, they follow patterns of behaviour all thru life

Willful ignorance, racism, bigotry, white nationalism, white supremacy culture, homophobia, misogyny and machismo wrapped in the American flag for some faux patriotism. This is how we got stuck where we’re at.

They weaponized EMPATHY. They called it "Suicidal Empathy"... You can blame the people who believe in "Suicidal Empathy". America has always been "I got mine, fuck the rest of you" if you believe in either of these statements you are dividing and causing the problems.

I feel the same way. I will never understand how these people got so brainwashed. I guess they are to weak minded which is very scary. Maga is a sickness.

Idk MAGA, DSA & Progressives deciding Trump was better than Kamala is beyond me. I'll never fuck with any of them!

I'm with you. It is mind blowing.

Unfortunately 77 million Americans are extremely stupid. If you still vote for Republicans you are the extreme stupid or corrupt millionaire/billionaire. Only rich and/or stupid vote Republican.🤷‍♀️

Americans see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaire...

Imagine being unhappy because somebody like Elon Musk has more money than you have. Get a life, son!

@march4progress I agree with this man, although I went through this phase of the grief process some time ago. I’m more disillusioned & angry now, no longer thinking we will all (or most of us) come together to save our country from the people currently destroying it. It’s still sad though.

Have you ever watched FOX “News”??

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.— Lyndon Johnson. - read a book it happens all the time

Sadly this guy is correct and he isn’t alone. The people on the right have been trained to have a boogeyman. Someone to blame for all their issues and side with the ones actually causing the problem

RACISM is the tie that binds them…seriously!

I don't even thing about Trump and Musk in my daily life, and people who obsess over other people for no reason have a mental illness.

4.5 decades of defunded public education turns enough of those affected into “victims” when coupled with a right-wing media machine, one of which fraudulently using “news” in its name. The right has figured out convincing the undereducated to be victims will guarantee votes.

You are not the only person who feels this way brother!
