You May Be Better Than “This”, But I’m Not

I relate to the Trump campaign in at least one respect: I’m tired of being told by the Democrats that they are morally superior to people who feel aggrieved, choosing “love” over what they consider to be “hate”.

That is to say, “they” are superior to White lower middle class voters who have lost their jobs or whose kids go to second-rate government schools or who are close to being homeless.

I am no saint or martyr.

I live better than I thought I would have in retirement but not as well as I’d hoped.

I think a lot of Democratic or progressive or left wing beliefs are simply wrong, and that leads, unfortunately, to dismissal of their beliefs which are pretty much right, like the fact that humans are responsible for climate change.

Even the “correct” beliefs can be challenged, like the main global warming culprit isn’t cars, trucks and factories, but consumption of resources by big agribusiness.
