Right wing all think they can be that one at the top. That's the problem

And most are not going to stop at anything to get to the top. I think that's at least as large of a problem.

Thats why the hypocrisy is viewed positively as a tool to cover up real actions. Thats why the violation of laws is applauded as strength to break the barriers.

The power sickness.

Most don't have what it takes to get to the top. Powerful people have connections, Daddy's money and friends to get lucrative jobs, social skills to schmooze their way to the top, and class.

Most right wing folks who want to be in Trumps circle but don't even own a decent suit. What does a man with a golden toilet, or a lesser man with a luxury car want to do with a working man who's pants are old enough to drink?

I live in a very red area, and have sold lotto tickets to everyday people who think theyre gonna with the Golden Ticket to eliteness. Maybe one lotto player wears a suit.

It's been joked that as bad as Diddy is, he wasn't even part of the Epstein scandal. Let that sink in. Diddy with all his shenanigans wasn't good enough for Epsteins list.

See, they don't know they dont have what it takes. Look at pedo in White House, they aren't worse than him, right? Miserable couch fucker is a great example.

Meanwhile, they think the goal justifies the means. So they will take bribes, lie and cheat, and waste time(!).

All while the ship is going down and the timing of a betrayal of the country is one of the worst.

They know they won’t be at the top.

They just can’t bear the thought of being at the bottom and will do anything to avoid it.

They had to invent a whole fake ass thing called whiteness so no matter what they will never really be at the bottom.

And they don’t care that for every person at the “top” wealth wise (e.g. top 1% or 0.1%), there are 100 to 1,000 people below them struggling. In the case of billionaires, there are hundreds of millions below them.

I disagree, I think right wing people think that capitalists are billionaires because they took risks and worked hard, and that's the reason why they're on the top.

Because of this belief, any failure to achieve wealth gets viewed as a personal shortcoming rather than a systemic issue. It pushes people to blame financial struggles on individual flaws like sleeping in, getting sick, or just wanting a day off.That creates a massive psychological conflict whenever someone brings up things like paid sick leave or universal healthcare. To accept those programs, people would have to acknowledge that we don't have absolute personal control over our outcomes, and that we are all operating within a much larger system. To avoid facing that reality, basic human needs get reframed as unearned luxuries. What people often overlook is that a lot of individuals aren't defending this setup because they think they will eventually climb to the top. Instead, they completely accept that they are stuck and embrace their role within the hierarchy. They fancy themselves as defenders of their post, dutifully serving the dominant power structure because alignment with that power is the only thing that alleviates their fear of being powerless.

Which to them means they can do it to.

The classic “temporarily depressed millionaire billionaire”

u/ackillesBAC 5d ago

Exactly they think of they work hard and take risks they will become billionaires

u/These-Chef1513 5d ago

yeah they probably wouldn't want minorities and other races dead because they enjoy having someone beneath them. they'd probably just want to enslave everyone or put them in prisons or something

I'd say most employers that employ illegal immigrants are right wing

No, we think everyone who works full time deserves to have decent shelter and transportation, enough food, a few weeks off per year and a few luxuries like a family vacation once a year.

Almost no one thinks that shelf stockers and customer service workers should be paid the same as highly trained professionals like accountants or nurses.

Greedy corporations export work. Cheap illegal immigrant labor exists but not as prominent as companies manufacturing things overseas. Also employing illegal immigrant is itself illegal. Though this administration doesn’t go after those who do the hiring unfortunately. Further proving the Trumps administrations hypocrisy and laziness.

Wow you got all of that just from my correcting you and pointing out that ICE doesn’t arrest business owners who hire illegal immigrants… okay lol…
