Tucker: Ruling class incompetence
- Thread starter livingston
- Start date
I definitely think a decent portion of boomers have not done this country any favors but not all of them are the problem. That's too broad of a brush stroke.
I really fault the career bureaucrats, career politicians, the elites, public sector unions, the main stream media outlets etc. Those are the groups that stood to gain the most from screwing the country over while they consolidated and increased their current power while screwing the rest of us for the future.

Public sector union. Thats whats up!
You're welcome.
This, what he spoke of the other night, could not have been said better.
It is all groups of people that allow this to continue. Young and old alike.
Too many Americans have serious blinders on to see all of the truths; hell, most of them cannot see a few of the real truths.
The same ignorant Americans keep reelecting the same anti-America thinking people,

Older generations have far more money and thus far more power. They built the nation and are responsible for its current state. A 25 year old has had no role in building what he lives in.
I read this yesterday: Op-Ed: Bernie Sanders is the front-runner because of how we raised our kids
That's actually a pretty honest and fair op-ed i can't disagree with.
We're criticising ourselves and our own collective bad choices that others have made for us.
Yes, we know. Russia is wonderful.
Back on topic, the establishments really have screwed us. The left and right mainline parties only care about enriching their pocketbooks.
Just look how desperately they want Biden to be the nominee. But he sucks and the rest of the electorate is waking up to the fact that he's just another establishment guy who will continue the status quo. Seriously bush1, bill clinton, bush 2, john kerry, joe biden, these guys are all interchangeable. They're all playing the same game, just wearing a different color tie. There's no difference.
Trump has crazy appeal because he's not a career politician, he's an outsider, he's hated by the establishment and openly professes to love America.
Bernie is capturing the exact same phenomenon but from the lefts side. They see their guy as being their version of trump. It's a chance for them to give the ruling class and establishment the middle finger.
There's a lot of anger (and justifiably) by voters from all sides of the political spectrum at the ruling class.
It also is a chance not to have to grow up and be responsible, ( feel the burn), yet still get what they want from mommy (big government), free stuff, still on an allowance.
Yes the "boomers" and their parents not only let the communist into the schools many voted and still do today for them, (feel the burn).
Add to that the fact we all have grown/growing up in times of milk and honey compared to the depression generation; I know my kids had it better than I did growing up.

I blame lack of schooling on the general support of socialism. It's bad for the country. Despite that we really have screwed kids over. Many are told to get a degree and parents who know nothing about money themselves think nothing of recommending lots of student loans. These kids then start life up to their ass in debt with no income due to being inexperienced.
I still think it's an outrage that we coddle seniors, even though the richest demographic in society are people in their 60's. We still give them senior discounts and treat them like babies. They are laughing all the way to the bank. They don't need help--certainly not compared to people who are young and managing debt, new families, etc.
Confirmed. Without all the medical advances out of Russia in the past few decades, we'd be lost. And they lead the world in tech. Plus, who doesn't want one of those prestigious Russian car brands or a high quality Russian watch?

"Ruling class" Who are the "ruling class" Hollywood.....wealthy....TV stations...professors....radio.? Tucker used this as a slam/defense of FOX against the other networks. This has been going on for years. Liberal brainwashing on how to raise a child...what to teach a child....child "rights"..."time outs"...and lack of proper supervision. Child raising is 24/7 and not the TV or internet. Why does a gradeschool child need a cell phone. Why are early teenagers "politically" motivated or opinionized ? Another post asks why children don't say hello when they'd rather say F$%k you instead to be cool and their Parents back them. "Ruling class" ?? It's composed of the entire spectrum of the past 3 or 4 generations. Rich, poor,middle class,and all races. That"s a SUPER problem I know of no remedy

I'd be able to simplify it by saying those with money. In a plutocracy money rules. And money buys influence: ads, lobbyists, PR. It can literally buy you laws, or have them shut down.
There are ways that we could greatly dull money's influence on politics in this country but we don't take all those opportunities to do so.

We even have Americans that think they have their blinders off but don’t. Us. People who vote republican and think they are smarter than Democrats. People who believe the government when told that it’s a good thing to make gun laws for criminals. They won’t be used against you. They’ll only apply to criminals so it’s okay.
Now look at them. The same red flag laws that were used for domestic violence (the so called unconvicted criminal without a trial) are now used for regular Americans who say something that is supposed to be protected speech.
Background checks are a good thing. If you have nothing to hide, submitting to one is okay. It’s not for you. It’s for the criminals. Now they are looking for ways to record your serial numbers when getting that background check. Some counties even want to look at your social media accounts to get a pistol license.
The police are your friends. They are on your side! Just look at all the rights violations on YouTube. Not just a few of them. Tons of them. And that’s just the ones recorded and posted on YouTube. Imagine all the ones that aren’t. 1A violations. 2A violations. 4A violations. The list goes on. They go on to trick you by making public statements that they are against gun laws while enforcing them anyway. They know the people are just as gullible with them as they are with the politicians who believe this Russian BS. They also go on to tell you that it’s okay for them to violate a criminal’s rights because he’s a scumbag. It’s okay to charge him with a safe act charge. It’s okay to illegally search his vehicle with a dog that has a 90 percent failure rate. What do you care? You don’t use drugs. You aren’t a criminal. He is. And you agree with them. Some of you go as far as putting a blue line through your flag. Then later they search your vehicle because you are from out of town or look a certain way or are traveling at 2am from a bad neighborhood and have white skin.
Then some of you are so gullible as to be fooled to think that it’s okay to have you illegally searched or stopped from freely traveling because a Supreme Court said so. You’ve been fooled to believe that something is constitutional because a politically motivated court said so. You’ve been fooled to think that someone like a George Bush or Neil Gorsuch or any republican is on your side.
Wake the fuck up people. You aren’t smart. You are just as gullible as the people you ridicule.

There's really only one way for us, as a country, to get outside of the system. We have to do the one thing that both parties don't want us to do: talk.
There's more nuance to the other side than just tweets or blurbs, and the real hard work in a democracy is when people sit down and talk and find the common ground -- as well as the point at which their views fundamentally depart. That's not something you can do in two seconds. It takes work, time, and dialogue.
It's through that dialogue that we'll gain some humanization of each other. Once you humanize the other side, it's hard to hate them wholly and completely like the political system promotes. It's not a zero-sum game like pundits would make you believe.

Everything said on my soapbox is 100 percent true. Just like all the guys on their soapboxes who said years ago that the NRA isn’t the friend of gun owners. Those people where ridiculed and laughed at. They were called trolls.
