Fear of Diversity Made People More Likely to Vote Trump
https://www.thenation.com/article/fe...to-vote-trump/

It is a mixed bag of factors. Trump also did better with black voters than Romney. Most Americans don't even realize how much the USA exports because everything in retail stores is made elsewhere. "We don't makes stuff here!" is a very old, very common phrase and since it is bull****, both parties have been ignoring it since forever. Even Alex Jones going allin for Trump could have been what tipped the election. Alex Jones has to be controlling at least 1-2% minimum of the US population.

That's good stuff. Also give almond butter & honey on lightly toasted bread a try. Even better imo.

Don't need the J if you have a banana. The problem there is finding such a straight banana.

I'm not big on the toasting, but I may be unusual in how much I just like plain bread. James Evans, not having much food available, once said he was going to have a jam sandwich; jam two pieces together and eat it. I've had that many times even when other options were available.

Junior level reporter at Breitbart apparently makes $117,000/year. And she has a side gig making an extra $74,000/year. They must be getting some killer numbers over there.

Feel like the bread adds nothing to peanut butter and perserves (substituted for jelly). Just a spoon is all you need.

Seems like trump is trying to do putins work for him. Make people distrustful of institutions and more open to state propaganda. Disgusting that trump wants to turn Americans into Russians, but that's where we are and a lot of people are gladly going along with it.

I had to write a response to the Baltimore Mayor veto-ing the minimum wage increase. I do feel it's a devastating moment and one we need to pay attention to:

Pugh vetoes bill that would raise Baltimore minimum wage

This is the road to feudalism. Cannot raise the minimum wage to a livable wage "because it would cost jobs." But it's an unending cycle. Once you've planted your flag that the QUALITY of the jobs is unimportant, you're in a race to the bottom. People need jobs, yes, but they need GOOD jobs. People work hard and are incredibly productive. They deserve to make a living wage. Studies show that a living wage reduces employee turnover, decreases poverty, and does not reduce overall profits in many cases. People are always only looking at one side of the equation--the corporations. There is a price to these sub-living wage jobs. Poverty, crime, homelessness, drug addiction, incarceration. These are all accelerated by sub-living wage jobs.

Many of the victims of this cycle work 3 jobs, 60+ hours each week, trying to make it work. They are told over and over by society that they are lazy,they are leeches,they need to get off their ass and be productive.They are mocked when they buy food for their kids with SNAP. This abuse leads people to drug addiction, suicide, or to just giving up. Noone can make it work on $7.25/hr. The lucky ones get an education or some sort of training which cost resources.

You don't learn valuable skills working most MW jobs. It's the opposite of an unpaid internship. In the unpaid internship, at least you have a future.WIth a MW job, you must work hard for the hope of a living wage. That living wage raise or promotion which often never comes. MW jobs have a very high rate of turnover due to many factors including stress. Oh yeah the devastating kicker:this Mayor ran her campaign on raising the minimum wage to $15/hour.The corporate pressure machine is strong.

The Russians attack where a country is weak. In this case, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and Glenn Beck have been working overtime destroying a lot of the institutions that we depend on to function as a society. This cycle of telling people that real media is "the liberal media" (nowadays it's "fake news") and ginning up fear and anger amongst a base by telling them the worst imaginable lies about their opponents, polarization was increased and people began to lose faith in the media and the Congress and the President. The Republicans felt the pressure of this polarization and they used it, they played on it and helped to destroy some more of our institutions (the ability of Congress to function and investigate matters in a bipartisan way) that were already on death's door. So the Russians saw an opportunity there. The Republican party and Vladimir Putin essentially share a lot of the same political goals in America.

could be someone's daughter or niece or girl friend or mistress etc

is there evidence that others are making that much $$ as well?

No idea what other people make who work there except Bannon, who we have financial disclosure forms for now. He's worth about $56 million from various enterprises:

I'm just a simple man that likes peanut butter and Doritos in his sandwich.

lol jelly, PB sandwich is where it's at. Not that I've had onee in a while because I would have to go to the grocery and store it for a while.

Gross. That's a carb catastrophe.

Toasted whole wheat (sourdough if I'm feeling spicy) blueberry preserves and maybe some chunky peanut butter.

Gotta go with lightly toasted white bread, chunky peanut butter and, the special note, substitute apple butter for the jelly.

There may be an opening for a candidate to run on a platform of universal PB&J. Maybe even a whole new party.

JFC, Obama phones... yep nothing racist here

You'd just end up with a group of hard-liners who believe our founders intended the PB and J to go on the same slice of bread. More gridlock.

Like they say on Iron Chef: it is the simple dishes that speak to the true skill of the chef.

Not same slice, but they'd definitely be arguing for white bread only and not the gay beginning/end slices of the loaf either.

Mixed slices on your PB&J would be a massive scandal.

Toasted pb and honey imo

That quote reminds me of the scene in the movie Chef where Jon Favreau makes the most killer looking grilled cheese.

I'm not understanding this part: " We also find that individuals with high levels of racial resentment were more likely to switch from Obama to Trump, but those with low racial resentment and more positive views about rising diversity voted for Romney but not Trump." People with high levels of racial resentment wouldn't have voted for Obama in the first place. Does not compute.
