Local Chatter Is So Discouraging It's Hard To Hope. Hear Is What I Heard Today.

Trump liked because he is running out all the Mexicans and eliminating all the takers, slackers, minorities et al off the government tit that is costing tax payer money. Retirees, public employees are getting pensions they do not deserve. Plus public employee don't do any work and are lazy and inefficient. Union workers don't deserve the excessive pay they get because all they do is stand around. We don't need unions.

The loss of jobs, outsourcing and low pay were started by Carter and the Democrats have screwed the middle class. Now almost everyone is on welfare and do not want to work. And the younger generation is lazy and expects to be given everything. Plus Democrats just give away all this free stuff.

You have to work to justify what you get. If you can't work you should not expect much. Beside the rich should not have to pay for these programs.

And it goes on an on. Just about every Fox and conservative talking point you can think of.

I am somewhat paraphrasing what I heard. These are the kinds of themes and memes that seem so common.

ADDENDUM -- What I have been trying to point out is how deeply these ignorant memes and themes are embedded into the public psyche. As I have said down post arguing seems to have no effect in changing minds.
