Appalachia is the wild card the plutocracy must hold on to
The end of the year lends itself to a lot of reflection. A lot of that reflection undoubtedly include the analysis of the Donald Trump mystique. I had a very interesting four minute exchange with a caller to my Politics Done Right show that I though was prescient and worth extracting from the hour long radio show.
The show began with the usual blog of the week. It is titled “Liberals must be the glue to Donald Trump’s ‘divide and conquer’ spoils” which was the nugget that pretty much prompted that particular caller. The caller was apoplectic about blue collar white people support for Donald Trump. After-all, they share nothing in common with the man. Absent the need for their vote, as far as he is concerned they are inconsequential.
I explained in the exchange that Trump is doing something that those that represent the plutocracy, those that want to maintain the status quo, those that are extracting our wealth, and stealing our excess labor, must do. If you are going to rob a population, the last thing you want is to be exposed as the thief you really are. Smoke and mirrors, and deflection become your modus operandi.
As I explained near the end, the biggest fear that the plutocracy has is that someday all the aggrieved communities will actually come together and finally overthrow the pilferers. I stereotypically refer to it as their fear of the unification of Appalachia, the barrios, and the ghettos.
That time is coming. It will take a while given that the plutocracy controls much of the mainstream media. As more and more alternative news and information sources gain the trust of the different communities, the unification will occur. A that point we will really have the wherewithal to take our country back.
