Why do liberals attack conservatives for "shaming the poor" and glorifying "taxpayers concerns"?

I got a hold of this far-left book, "The Emotional Politics of Racism". The author, as usual, using the same liberal talking points, attacking Aemrican middle class taxpayers for worrying about "welfare recipients", attacking "law and order as racist", etc.

"Shaming the poor". "Shaming illegal immigrants". Is their goal really to keep people poor or to play political games? It's sickening and sad.

The short answer, that's EXACTLY their game plan. Look at how the SJW's and other PC "not sees" treat Pres Trump and all us "Trumpkins". IMO, The main reason he is making small yet significant inroads with traditional Dem voting blocs such as Blacks who are s-l-o-w-l-y realizing how they've been played by the Dems over the last 60+ yrs, (if Malcolm X was right about ONE thing...,)also Latinos, Jews, and in light of the Pulse niteclub shooting even some LGBTers. In other words Trump is "muscling in" on their racket actually delivering on some of his promises, which could negatively impact them, especially financially. Less poor people to use and exploit=less $$$ for them to rake in. Because Pres Trump is boldly going where no Republican has gone before and the left is loosing their collective sh!t over it.

You really have to ask?

Lefties' goals are 1) to keep the poor poor 2) to make everyone but themselves POOR 3) yes, it IS a political game.

The delusional left has ALWAYS seen into the future...a future where THEY live better than kings, rule/run rough-shod over all of the "lesser beings" ( which is everyone else but themselves! ), and feel better about themselves, because, after all, they are the ONLY ones who are as "intelligent" as they are, know how to rum things and other's lives, and still do what they damned please.

Their UTOPIAS always immediately become NIGHTMARES and a whole lot of them get killed off in the bargain.

Two things. Post the name of the author. I’m not good at guessing them.

Secondly, Yes, it is there goal to keep people poor, undereducated, and addicted to welfare programs. That is why “liberals, progressives, socialists, Marxists and communists” are INSANE and are direct threats to a better America.

Who in their right mind would do this to the very people they claim to care about? Not conservatives. Not libertarians. Not even vegans.

Only the LEFT ideologues will do this “willingly” just as the “Good Germans” supported Hitler’s policies from the Nuremberg Laws to the “Final Solution”.

Just change the Swastika’s shape and you get the “Hammer and Sickle”. (WILL SOMEONE POST THIS morphing, please?).

There is a reason why the “socialists” flags and banners always have “red” in them, and “Code Pink” is just a variation on it.

ALSO: if anyone can get ahold of the conservative cartoons often featured here at FR (Benson and one other great one), suggest to them the following:

A drawing of an American citizen at the Wall painting a big sign on it that says, “America: Closed For Repairs”.

Because they can give the poor crumbs while siphoning off millions for themselves and their comrades.

Now THAT is an excellent idea.

Love that phrase.

Thanks for the comment. The conservative cartoonist I was thinking of is named RAMIREZ. He’s very thoughtful and penetrating.

Benson goes for the jugular. I like that too.

Politics is not about improving the human condition. If that were the case Democrats and Republicans would debate which philosophy worked, they would try experiments, and then they would agree to the policy that objectively worked. Obviously, that is not what is happening.

Politics has become a race for clicks and attention. Therefore, it has been made dramatic. Drama is conflict. Therefore, everything said is in conflict with anything anyone on the other side has said.
