Morning Joe Regular: Preferring Trump On Economy Is 'Selfishness'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/09/2020 9:55:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Are you worried that—given his support for higher taxes and the economy-nationalizing Green New Deal—Joe Biden could jeopardize your retirement and ability to provide for your family? Do you therefore support President Trump? Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. wants you to know that your attitude is nothing less than "selfishness."

On today's Morning Joe, Princeton prof and Morning Joe regular Glaude said that the Trump campaign has a double-edged strategy: appealing to non-college educated whites with "grievance and fear," and to suburbanites "because Joe Biden and the radical left will jeopardize their economic well-being, their 401(k)s and the like" who would be acting out of "selfishness and self-interest."

How selfish of Trump supporters to be concerned about their retirement or ability to support their families! Vote for socialist puppet Biden—he’ll “spread the wealth” around!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Dude, they’ve already called me deplorable, a white supremacist, and a racist.

Hell, I don’t care if they call me selfish.

Astute anti-maskers noted early on that the REAL purpose of the masks is to condition you to believe that your freedom is selfish.

Touche.

Not Preferring Trump On Economy Is ‘Sheer Lunacy’

Individual interest is what really drives all decisions. Selfishness is normal human behavior. I prefer a strong free economy that embraces that reality, and exploits it to produce jobs and abundance for all. I’m just selfish like that.

When Leftists and benefits sponges want to wreck the productive economy, expropriate someone else’s earnings, destroy property and value others have built, receive expensive services at someone else’s expense, and in the process cause scarcity and poverty, and are they being “unselfish”?

Individuals must be evil to want to eat, feed their families,
and be housed decently in the winter.

Preparing for that rainy day or retirement, why it should be
a capital offense in this moron’s mind.

Joe, you should change your tagline to Sunset Joe.

All opposition to socialism and communism is rooted in selfishness.

Because anyone WITH A BRAIN knows those systems DO NOT WORK! which will result in them losing their jobs, their homes and possibly they and their loved ones very lives!

So, out of SELF PRESERVATION (ie. selfishness) they oppose socialism and communism!

I think after the election and Trump wins and we win back the House and Senate the riots will be epic as the people on the sidewalk of life see all their socialist utopian dreams where they can sit on their asses and live off everyone else at least for 4 years takes a serious setback.

This egghead professor lives in a dreamland and should not be taken seriously. Marx was a Satanic, self-hating Jew who wanted ethic genocide and a new class of uber slaves controlled by a few true believers as a model for society. Urban blacks make a great worker drone class, 80% of them would believe the moon is made of cheese if you some rap star or an NBA player said it was. Seriously. There is a reason the antebellum South prospered. Stone age blacks were too pre-occupied being wowed by sailing ships and guns to realize they were being bought and sold by other blacks. In the coming Satanic utopia, they will be soylent green'd to feed the purebred dogs of the coming ruling class. White liberals when you really ask them believe Blacks are apes and need to be controlled and yes exterminated when needed. Right now they serve a purpose.

Again, they are trying to condition us to see our freedoms as “selfishness.”

They will then march into the suburbs screaming, “We made that money first!”

In Valenzuela after socialism 'the people' were eating zoo animals and pets to stay alive while the 'political elite' were feasting in Night Clubs and Five Star Restaurants around the world.

In commie hellholes the only people with money are the commie elite and there's damn few of them. They don't even 'spread the wealth' beyond their little circle.

I'm so selfish that I actually bypassed government during this crisis by donating about 20% of my income to charity -- and still doing it --, and then dared to submit W-4's accounting for the donations, thus lowering my tax burden.

Yeah, it’s pretty selfish to vote for the candidate who has a proven track record of improving living conditions for all citizens.

It’s much better to vote for the person who will make everyone equally miserable.

I’d be all too happy to see some federal lawsuit torch mask mandates nationwide, but with Compromised Roberts leading the SCOTUS, I have no idea how that would actually go.

Can't agree with him there but he must have had some farm life experience because something from him is being spread around the barn yard. Watch your step.

Of course, self interest, individualism, and family are not allowed in a communist system.

Only an idiot — such as a White leftist — would believe that Black people are apes. Believe me, I’m aware of the significant difference in average IQ between Blacks and Whites — see “The Bell Curve — but I tend to take the more optimistic view of Thomas Sowell, who is both Black and just as aware of that difference, that as more and more Black people moved up into prosperity, their average IQ will go up.
