You know who you are.
For years now, the billionaire and millionaire elites who control academia, the mainstream media, politics, popular culture, and the sports world have put you, conservative or Trump supporters in a box. You know, you are a racist deplorable and should be purged from polite society.
These are the same folks that have immortalized Michael Brown, George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Rayshard Brooks, Eric Garner, and other resisting criminal suspects.
They also worked to raise bail money for protesters willing to riot, loot, burn, and vandalize your homes and businesses in the name of racial justice.
So while those on the left, especially in the leftist media have been clutching pearls over the Bastille storming on Wednesday, where a few windows were broken and the furniture rearranged, I understand it. I get it.
I said last week in the podcast that the country was a powder keg, ready to explode.
You cannot ignore the desires, concerns of 74 million citizens. You can’t write them off as Nazis and answer all their complaints with allegations of racism or sexism.
President Trump had a lot to do with the violence the happened Wednesday, and he knows it–but he hardly gets all the blame. Let’s not forget the major and cable news and sports networks, the players in the NFL and NBA. Don’t forget about the people in Hollywood, at Netflix, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
These same people sanctioned, financed, and promoted political violence throughout all of 2020 and for much of the past decade.
Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg know this. That’s why they rushed to silence Trump on their respective platforms, Twitter and Facebook.
We know the effort to paint Trump supporters as racist deplorables is all crap.
Skin color does not explain why people were passionate about Trump. Trump understood his supporters, understood their rejection of the elitism and secularism pervasive in modern, metropolitan American. Mainly, he did not hate them the way liberal America does.
If Trumpism is anything, it is the call of the working class who believe the Big Tech billionaires and liberal elites are building an America that cuts them out of the American Dream. Trumpism is the cry of Americans who value authenticity over the fraudulence of social politics. Blacks and minorities of the working have just as much at stake here as to any whites.
Ignore the deplorables at your peril.

Mark Zuckerburg and FACEBOOK gives this a LIKE and a big thumb’s up for veracity and accuracy.

Do you think Trumpism is for the working class? You know nothing about Trump. Check how he helped out the “middle class” while he was building his casino, Resorts in NJ or for that matter any of his construction projects. Check out how he screwed the “middle class” with his University. Trump steps on the middle class to elevate himself.
Paul Plante says
YAWN!
As does Hillary Clinton and Charley “Chuck” Schumer and Nancy (@shauna_dupont_circle) Pelosi.
And Jay, don’t know if you got the memo, but Trump and Trumpism are now pretty much gone.
Marxism won the struggle.
We now have a democracy of the oppressed and a dictatorship of the proletariat.
The RED flag flies over America, while the stars and stripes get trampled in the mud.
How does it feel to be on the winning side, Jay?
I bet that makes your little soldier stand right out straight for you!

AAAAAGGGGNNNHHHH goes the buzzer. But thank you for playing. President Trump is not responsible for the breach of security and riot at The Capitol. Nor is Mark Zuckerburg, CNN, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, the deplorables or Mother Teresa. No one in mass media or George Soros or me. If anyone blames it on “the likes of you Wayne”, it is just as inaccurate a statement. We are all responsible for our own actions. A whole bunch of people went to a demonstration at The Capitol and walked away when it all got stupid. There were thousands and thousands of people there. Most went home when it got ugly. The ones that stayed ? and breached security, or followed the rioters and got swept up by a mob mentality ? They, and only they, are responsible for the disgusting situation. Any and all other “leaders” of either side, and their opinions, whether or not their words were designed to fire people up and help the emotions of some to lose their freaking minds, has nothing to do with who did what. Conspire ? Yeah I’ll buy that. But that’s a whole different ball game. Just ask the Capitol Police who faced those windows for weapons and folks in riot gear. They will tell you it’s the folks swinging the wapons. Mob violence in a simple form. It is a simple and conscious decision by each and every one of us as to what we do and we are all each responsible for what we do. Not Pelosi, or Trump, or Elvis, or a statue in front of The Eastville Court House. No matter what Jay C. Ford tells us to do. That putz. I get the anger. I get the total and complete lack of respect for our Constitution from the way the voting regs. were changed and manipulated I’M FREAKING PISSED OFF TOO. I get all that. I didn’t go to a riot because I am responsible for myself. I don’t dare go to a situation like that in riot gear with a gun. I am sure I would have gotten swept up in the moment, and tried to be tactical, and looked for the head of the snake that I could hold responsible, and I would have sacrificed mysef for this country if I did get the chance. But there is too big a challenge to get through all that, and too many people who are sacrificing themslves for their love of this country that you have to go through to get there. They don’t deserve the abuse. And that is what we each, all have to respect.

In order for a casino to be profitable, the masses(née, middle class) need excess income. DJT’s policies put extra $$$ in their pockets.
In order for a golf course to be profitable, the masses need excess $$$. DJT’s policies put more in their pockets.
In order to buy a home in NYC, the masses need $$$. DJT’s policies put more $$$ in their pockets.
If you believe that black and brown people should receive twice the jail time for the same crime a white person committed, you are a racist. Xhou Bai Den wrote, supported, and signed the 1994 Clinton Crime Bill. Support Xhou Bai Den and you are, in fact, a racist.
If you support Xhou Bai Den, you support the Iran deal, making you a WARMONGER.
If you support Xhou Bai Den, you support the Biden Bankruptcy Bill, bought and paid for by MBNA(But, his SON got a nice job out of it so……)which forces women(half the filers, even though there are more than 2 categories) to repay %70 of their credit card debt, when the old rules allowed for %100 discharge of that debt.
Only morons “Feel” that Xhou Bai Den is NOT a racist, warmonger who puts corporations above people, those of us with a modicum of intelligence KNOW better.
TWANLOC. Liberalism Delenda Est.
Note: Think I the spelling error, not a biggie though.
