Honestly, the only reason I’m still on Facebook is because of my local temple. If we could host a private group somewhere else with the same functionality, we’d jump ship in a heartbeat.

No, it sounds like your brother is actually the asshole.

If we’re talking the average working class voter, I hold a great amount of sympathy for them. I really do understand where they’re coming from.

The Democrats are corrupt as hell and aren’t doing a damn thing for the American people. Pre-Trump Republicans are corrupt as hell and aren’t doing a damn thing for the American people. The country is legitimately falling apart and there’s no one to turn to.

Here comes this guy out of nowhere who’s never been in politics and thus not beholden to their corrupt schemes. He’s promising to tear down the whole damn system that isn’t working for the average American. He recognizes and acknowledges the plight of working class America. He’s claiming that it needs to break completely before it can be repaired.

This is the reasoning behind my little brother supporting Trump. He’s so desperate for real change that he’s willing to overlook a lot of Trump’s bad behaviors. To my brother, Trump is a useful wrecking ball, a bulldozer coming to forcefully wipe away everything wrong with politics.

Of course, Trump has no real intentions of fixing anything. He’s just there to loot the government and shield himself from the law. All of the right wing supporters, politicians, preachers, and business execs are just stepping stones.

Reality has a left wing bias.

Its a joke, but not really. If you base your government on the facts of reality, it tends to be perceived as “left wing.”

Run for political office. The Democrats have no intention of fixing anything, let alone making things better.

And if you believe you’re not qualified or don’t know how to do the job, just remember that both parties are filled with incompetent fools, fakes, conspiracy crackpots, and morons. It would take considerable effort to do worse than some of the people in congress.
