We may be Deplorable, but we voters are not as stupid as elites think. We know that Trump has not been able to push through the main agenda items of Deplorables, specifically an end to 4 decades of welfare-swilling illegal immigration and a major reduction in legal immigration, which has likewise driven down wages for underemployed US citizens for 40 years.

Poll results don’t matter to Déplorables.

Election results are supposed to matter, although they really don’t in an oligarchy. It is not surprising that, in an oligarchy, Trump was quickly able to push through a debt-financed tax cut that benefits rich legislators, the heirs of rich legislators, rich campaign donors, the heirs of rich campaign donors and womb-productive employees who got several thousand in yet another upgrade to the non-refundable child tax credit.

This includes many dual-earner crony parents, taking two jobs in an underemployed nation while enjoying copious womb-privileged absenteeism lenience, and many of the immigrant temp workers favored by deep-pocketed campaign donors.

Instant-citizen kids qualify millions of legal and illegal immigrants for layers of monthly welfare that covers their major monthly household bills and refundable child tax credits up to $6,431, enabling those at the low end of the wage scale to work for extremely low wages as willing, groveling servants to the rich.

And so-called “conservative” Republicans have done almost nothing to reduce the welfare-fueled undercutting of citizens in the labor market.

This administration has increased the number of legal immigrants who take both the low-end jobs and some of the better paying jobs. The total number of legal immigrants went from an already way-too-high number of 1.5 million per year to 1.7 million in one of the last two years of the Trump Administration.

Of course, corporate lobbyists prevailed over Trump on this issue. Not only were more legal immigrants admitted—with Trump boasting about the jobs they got, even though the labor force-participation rate for working-aged US citizens barely budged—but Republicans gave the womb-productive visa workers a non-refundable child tax credit in the thousands.

Due to the progressive tax code, not only do they get a big cash-assistance check at tax time to reward sex and reproduction, but their paychecks are higher than the paychecks of single, childless citizens in adjacent cubicles, struggling to cover rent on one, earned-only income stream. The unaffordable rent of non-tax-privileged citizens climbs higher and higher, partially because more and more immigrants and their kids pile in here, competing for rental units and driving prices up there while driving wages down by competing for jobs.

Most likely voters are middle-aged and older.

Most do not have kids under 18 or custody of kids under 18. Many of the people with kids under 18 are not even registered to vote. Twenty-eight percent of US citizens over 40 have not pumped out any kids at all—they are childless—but are likely voters due to their age, like it or not, anti-individual Republicans. Another huge group has kids over 18. More and more in this category are single, with one earned-only income stream to cover all bills.

Most American citizens got a Costco membership-sized tax cut from the Republicans—-a slap-in-the-face tax cut in exchange for all that debt Uncle Sam is racking up.

The cheap immigrant servants of the rich, rewarded with thousands for sex and reproduction by the US Treasury Department, will not face the repercussions for all of that reckless spending. It’ll be US citizens facing that, including the majority of US citizens who got the Costco membership-sized tax cut.

The next thing on the Establishment Republican agenda will be telling voters who got the Costco membership-sized tax cut——including voters who were never, ever paid thousands each year by their government for womb-reductive sex——-that, although either 7.65% or 15.3% of every paltry penny they ever earned was put into the SS trust fund, they will need to cut SS to cover those profligate tax cuts for heirs, donors, congresspeople making $174 while taking off 218 days per year, womb-privileged and constantly vacationing dual-earner parents in their family-friendly and above-firing jobs and womb-prolific immigrants brought in to replace US citizens in their own country’s labor market.

There is a reason why Republicans score high in polls created by rich corporate owners who got big tax cuts, but lost in the midterms.

I went ahead and voted for them again after voting Republican for the first time for Trump, holding my nose while doing it since nothing has been done about immigration, but I don’t think I will vote for either of the Oligarchial Parties next time. Fool me twice is enough. No, I have voted in every midterm and primary since I was 19, voting against myself each and every time, so it was fool me far more times than I wish to count.

I am not aware of any Artificial Intelligence that can totally replicate human nature.
Therefore its predictive abilities will not always be accurate.

The criminal irresponsible Imperialism of the US is "now out in the open". Sure. To those who have some contact with reality or truth. But, the MSM has NO such contact. Watch/listen/read ANY of the msm & you would have NO idea about the contents of this article -- beyond vague Trump-blame which is, within limits, OK.
Here in Australia, real anti-US rhetoric in the msm would be treated like ancient Greek: incomprehensible. Should it continue, the well worn responses to anti-US attitudes, developed in the anti-Vietnam War days would be deployed: smile-wink-wink, idiot hippy, blind commie, US/Aust bonds written in granite, forged in war, la-la-la.
Of course, as this article admirably demonstrates it becomes ever harder to ignore the evidence of one's own eyes: the emperor really does have NO clothes....
