Just turned 70, me too, me too. So right to turn the spotlight on who the heck are our fellow citizens who vote for the racism and misogyny. Conversations I have had seem to sidetrack to taxes. The average Joe seems to panic at the word, and totally assume that a) the jackboots are coming for a slice of every penny of his net worth (not distinguishing "income.") and b) if a Democrat says, won't raise taxes on anyone earning over X$ said Democrat is a liar, and go back to a. As Thom focuses on, the racism and misogyny actually have underlying "zero-sum" panic. Who's gettin' my stuff?
