How Our Support of the Elites Create and Sustain Trumpism
from #AncientTexan · host #AncientTexan
So the belief is that if we silence Trump and Trumpites everything will be okay. The enemy is not the Republicans or the Democrats, themselves, but those corporate elites that support and enable our government (Democrats and Republicans) to follow their agenda for America and not what the working class, and all Americans, need and want to happen. Much of this podcast comes from the ideas of Joe Lauria in Consortium News (Trump Impeached Amid Efforts to Silence Him, January 13, 2021: Trump has been impeached again and this time the Republican-controlled Senate may convict to keep him from running in 2024, as Democrat-aligned big tech moves to shut him up, reports Joe Lauria..) By Joe Lauria The government must address the needs of the people who pay their salaries or they will face increasingly violent revolts. Such a radical shift in policy would mean risking the ire of their powerfully wealthy donors, however. The agenda is simple, bring the United States into line with most industrialized democracies: radically cut defense spending, provide national health insurance, invest in green infrastructure, raise minimum wages, forgive student debt, provide free state higher education, encourage re-unionization and provide monthly stipends during the pandemic.
