re: #56 Talking Point Detective

The majority of her supporters are white and middle class. How is the country “not working for them?” They are hardly the segment of American society that has been “left by the wayside.”

The paranoia of Palin-supporters, and their fear of “tyrants” such as Obama, are purely delusional.

That they are delusional is beside the point. The middle class is taking it up the ass right now, and if you don’t have any real understanding of why that is happening, it makes sense (on a visceral level) to identify with other pissed off people.

Have you ever been really really pissed off, and had someone very calmly try to tell you that you are getting worked up over nothing? It doesn’t go over well.
