Four questions, my dear righties... ;)

[Ben No.3]

1. For what reasonhave you/would you have voted for President elect Donald Trump?

 

2. Do you feel that the cabinet that Mr. Trump is putting together is representative of these reasons?

 

3. What do think is Mr. Trump's target audience?

 

4. Do you think that the cabinett Mr. Trump is putting together reflects the wishes and desires of said audience?

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

1. I didn't

 

2. Yes

 

3. Zionists and Right-Populism

 

4. Yes

 

Now apologise for killing Rosa and read a book.

[Ben No.3]

Killing Rosa? The Rosa that comes to my mind is Rosa Luxemburg, how did I kill her? Different people did that already. I did read a bit of her works. Interesting stuff.

 

 

Anyway, I feel like Trumps target audience mainly is the workint class. He promised to go against globalism (in effect, "bring back jobs" and all that), he promised to take on Wall Street and the big capital. Now, Wall Street sits in cabinet. I do not see how this cabinet is supposed to help the working man, I really do not. If the cabinet is to give us any idea of the Trump administration, then the Trump administration is doomed to fail, in the sense that it looses its voters.

 

Also, "right populism" is not an ideology.

1. I didn't
 
2. Yes
 
3. Rightist populists (and people who are at a lack of better options than this or what anyone else offers, aka the working class aka pretty much all of us)
 
4. Yes, for better or for worse
 

Also, "right populism" is not an ideology.

 

The "working class" is not an ideology, either, if you hadn't noticed.

1. He is the most radical and progressive thinker of the 21st century.

 

2. Yes.

 

3. Marxists and other far-left tendencies.

 

4. Yes. Trump is a scientific socialist who has populated his cabinet with the most destructive representatives of capital in order to harness its contradictions and accelerate its abolition. Truly a master of the dialectic.

[Meshugger]

1. Because the left had failed to throw out identity politics and needed to be reinvigorated to what is essential. Now the pendelum swung back nicely instead of a brutal crash later. 

2. Kinda

3. Normal people outside the inner city coffe latté-bubble

4. Not entirely, but that's the nature of politics, the more you promise, the more you will underdeliver.

smth smth losing the popular vote, "normal people" being a minority confirmed

Hey, 67% live in cities in the US the last time i checked, that's a lot of bubbles.

Not everyone who lives in cities is a leftist though. Some of us work for a living.

Kind of funny to read that given how many "lefties" have solid work here.

There might be a difference in both the working conditions and compensation. Blue collars and lower class jobs seem to lean more to the republican side now that every promise the left made hasn't worked for  them.

Here leftists get paid by our jewish elitist masters to spread cultural marxism and genocide whites through twitter and reddit posts. If you want in speak to Soros at the weekly meeting and he'll hook you up.

1) i didn't.

2) Some picks I like fine, some I'm indifferent on. One makes no sense at all to me.

3) The folks who voted for him in the Primaries.

4) Far too much is made of the importance of cabinet picks. The SecState, AG, & SecDef are meaningful picks that will have a lot of influence. After that the actual importance of who heads what bureaucracy does not matter much. I believe the President should get who they ask for to serve in their cabinet absent and blatant criminal activity.  

[Hurlshort]

There aren't really much in the way of left wing folks on this forum. I mean we have a few Europeans who seem to be fairly liberal, but I get the impression they are really more moderates when compared to the demographics of their country.

There is entirely too much common sense on this forum to field too many zealots one way or the other.

One of my favorite things about this forum.

Wait, you serious?

 

 

 

 

As for the questions, Not being American and haven't really lived anywhere I could vote for close to 15 years anyway, so not much sense in trying to answer them.

dunno if we agree.  the President will frequent have his most significant impact on domestic events via his control o' the national agenda, but immediate secondary is gonna be appointment power.  for example, George Bush Sr. appointed Jack Kemp to be the dismantler o' HUD, but  things don't always go as planned.  when it were announced Kemp would be the boss at HUD, any number o' liberal news outlets cried foul, 'cause they were much aware o' the control such an appointee has in deciding how a department is run. doom. gloom. predictions were dire when a hard-core supply side economics republican gets appointed to HUD.  

 

'course reality is Kemp went native.

that being said, am not seeing many possible Jack Kemps 'mongst the trump appointees.  perhaps a couple?  am not expecting any appointee to go rogue, but we can see a couple who will possible run their department with guidance from trump, but w/o compromising personal values. could have a few departments run much different than trump expects... and fire such appointees is gonna result in even further diminished political clout for trump. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

*Cough*cough*JamesMattis*cough*cough*.

 

On the money that firing someone like Mattis could along with such silly things as significantly curtailing (or god forbid, cancelling) F-35 production would hand to Trump's enemies the blade with which to cut his throat with (politically, of course).

Why would elites decide to pay Marxists rather than right wingers? For Marxists they somehow need to work around the entire ideology, fromright wingers they probably get support anyway, so that should be far easier.
