    Boy, you just can't stop punching down, can you?

    Punching down is a concept in which you're assumed to have a measurable level of power and you're looking for a fight. Now, you can either go after the big guy who might hurt you, or go after the little guy who has absolutely no shot. Either way, you've picked a fight, but one fight is remarkably more noble and worthwhile than the other. Going after the big guy, punching up, is an act of nobility. Going after the little guy, punching down, is an act of bullying.

    Don't confuse your interests being harmed with everyone's. The working class are better off today than they were 4 years ago. Plus, you hate America, remember? The world's worst racist country. Americans are the least educated and knowledgeable of foreign affairs, languages, and disparate cultures, societies, and social norms among all Westernized countries and the least exposed universally. Why wouldn't you want it to be destroyed? After all, you're gaming out civil war scenarios right now, and California is using secessionist rhetoric that would make John C. Calhoun's heart swell with pride.

    Actually deleted comment, since I don't really read anything you write and decided not to waste time on this. You seem so triggered you write essays. I dont care about it. Trump has been covered million times, he is legit moron and so are his voters. Trump represents super rich. You are not one of them, so you are indeed a moron.

    you are voting against interest of that working class and then pretending to be victim of assault. Oh no we are being ridiculed for being complete morons. Cry more.

    How is it that you get to tell working class what their interests are? That's against the entire idea of democracy.

    If you get to tell other people what their interests are, and tell them to vote your way or they're morons, why not just rule them by decree? It's the same thing, except easier and cheaper.

    Please tell me your interests so I dont have to assume. And How will trump fullfill those interests. Democaracy also needs that voters wouldnt be complete morons to work. Which is as we see is not the case.

    No, YOU tell ME what the working class' interests are. I'm curious to know what it is that you think. Since the research tells us that you have no idea what we think and you just make up things that are horrible and then hand these positions to us, and then criticize us for the crap you made up.

    Jonathan Haidt's experiments ask liberals and conservatives to fill out questionnaires about their values, then to predict how someone from the opposite tribe would fill out the questionnaire. He finds that conservatives are able to predict liberals' answers just fine and seem to have a pretty good understanding of their worldviews, but that liberals have no idea how conservatives think or what they value.

    Trump is representing the super rich. Are you one of them? Then he is not representing your interests. That's like 2+2. Are too dumb to understand this or what.

    [–]Chipit 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (14 children)

    No.

    No, no, no. You've told me I'm voting against my interests. What are my interests? Since you know them so well, you can recite them. Speak.
