Political Memes

This all the way. Make it so the Republicans of today are never close to winning again and then you can actually foster some splits within the Democrats.

As it sits today, the Republicans have such. Great shot at winning that the Democrats can’t post a super left-leaning candidate otherwise they’d get handily beaten.

thats very optimistic considering you are now at conservatives vs fascists in the national election.

People have no idea what true wealth really is like, not even close.

I remember this one time I was living in a working class area of London whilst working as a freelance software developer in Investment Banking front-office, which means making systems for actual Traders and Analysts, the kind of people who get millions in bonuses every year.

So I'm waiting in line to pay at the local supermarket and some old lady dressed in a nouveau riche style (you know the kind: old lady that thinks she's poshly dressed but instead just looks overdone) has a till openned just for her and somebody from the supermarket is helping her pack her shopping. A different old lady, behind me in the queue for another till, in manner and dress clearly working class, turns to me and says: "Look at her, she's involved in the Council and is rich".

Now, remember, I was working with people who got millions in bonuses to work or the trully rich. They weren't rich, they were the employees of the rich.

So I turned to her and told her: "Madam, if she was rich she wouldn't be shopping herself at the supermarket".

I've also seen pretty similar things amongst the older members of my extended family in my homeland, all of which come from poor origins: one of my uncles saved maybe half a million euros over a lifetime of owning and working long hours at his familiy operated restaurant and he thinks he's rich.

I suspect this kind of shit is incredibly common: all but a handful of people are so distance from the ultra-wealthy that they have no clue of just how far from them they are, and the result of that is that you have old people with a bit of savings and shop keepers who make a tiny bit more money than the average working-Joe, voting for policies that benefit billionaires.

Just deleted the duplicate, thanks for the heads up

But that's it. That cognitive dissonance is just part of the veil, same as the meme above.
The poor folks who get absorbed by the veil think they're a shoe-in to the rich, when they couldn't be further away - they'd have better chances of being picked to go to space than becoming part of the ultra-wealthy.
