They are a burden on the state, and useless to people like Trump.
They also form a chunk of his voter base.
Which is the most surprising, because a lot of them will vote for him again.. Well, not really I guess.. They vote for the America of old - Jim Jones, supremacism.. That attitude and belief that it's better to be white and poor, than a 'negro' and poor..
When they start costing the state money for SS and Medicare. Trump wants that money diverted to building a wall to keep the "animals" out.
Yep, when the number of elders and infirm grow too large, the herd needs culling. That's the new attitude.
Eugenics.
It has become quite apparent that people are not voting for Trump based on anything in his agenda, or anything in his character or leadership ability.
They are voting for Trump for no other reason than sheer bloody-headed 'Never Liberal, no matter what'.
For some, yes.
But for others? No.
This belief that it's "never Liberal, no matter what" can't be attributed to all his voters. I think a very large portion of it vote for him because he speaks their language and feeds their vile bigotry.
He's no longer hiding it.
There's no question now.
With this racist warmup complete, Trump then veered into an open endorsement of eugenics — the discredited theory that the human race can be improved with selective breeding for superior traits. The theory has an ugly history in America. And Hitler’s embrace of eugenics in Nazi Germany gave rise to the program of “race hygiene” that culminated in the extermination of millions of Jewish people and others at death camps. “You have good genes, you know that right?” Trump said to the nearly all-white crowd. “A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory,” Trump said. “You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.”
Not a single person in that audience looked uncomfortable or even boo'ed or tried to shout that down.
A President who openly and clearly states that the death of 200,000 people, many of whom are elderly means nothing because to him, those deaths do not affect anyone.. That same President, a few days later, openly raised the spectre of white supremacist eugenics at another rally.
And they cheered him on.
He's speaking their language.
That is his agenda.
So, when I see someone like Yazata state that people vote for an agenda.. I have to wonder, given these last 2 weeks and the now clear and open display of horrendous white supremacy and eugenics, what kind of person votes for the agenda of the person spouting this rubbish?
The fact he's already stated he won't accept the results of the election if he loses and also openly stated that is why he wants that SC seat filled with his pick before the election - as he intends to challenge so he can continue to remain President.. Who votes for someone who is so clearly showing his intent and this agenda?
