Liberal Students Love Trump’s Tax Plan (When Told It’s Bernie’s)

Enjoy the video.

Details from Campus Reform.

  • President Donald Trump’s proposal for comprehensive tax reform was almost immediately dismissed as heartless and impractical by his political opponents.
  • When the same ideas are packaged under Bernie Sanders’ name, however, liberal college students excitedly endorsed them.

Unsurprisingly, Students Despise Obama Policies…When Credited to Trump.

  • In anticipation of the 100-day mark of Donald Trump’s presidency, Campus Reform asked students at George Mason University to evaluate some of the president’s accomplishments.
  • The students predictably blasted things like the “Apology Tour” and stimulus package, even comparing them to Nazi policies, at least until learning that they were actually accomplished during President Obama’s first 100 days.

What’s Going On

  1. These students are so brainwashed by mainstream media they respond to the person, not the idea.
  2. More fundamentally, the students know nothing of current events or they would not fall for these types of gotchas.

To be fair, we do not know the percentage of students who did not fall for the traps.

However, I strongly suspect the vast majority of the students (and most likely the average person on the street, not just students) would tend react to the person, not the issue.

Actually, he is encouraging the street violence among students. He has been doing so since the beginning. He’s also the one who has been trying to incite riots and doubt over this election with his completely unfounded claims of fraud even before the voting started. Then he complains when the other side gets fed up with his lawlessness and his followers attacking people on the streets and in some cases murdering them. Look at this paper online https://hireessaywriter.onl by quick writers. Democracy was a liberal concept. Balancing and sharing power was a liberal concept. Human rights is a liberal concept (but began in England with the Magna Carta).

Perhaps, Shamrock but we just had a little test of it in Georgia. One candidate, Moore, was closer to the policies that Trump ran on. But Trump, himself, endorsed Strange(We can speculate why, perhaps to ingratiate himself to McConnell). So it was a contest of the name or personality versus the actual policies and ideas. And the Trump voters chose the ideas over Trump.

For most students, university is just four more years of the same group-think as high school.

Most of these students are socially liberal. Their economic and foreign policy knowledge is close to zero, on average.

I hate these videos, you could do the same thing with Trump supporters. Interview a thousand idiots and you’re bound to find 10 or 20 that are stupid as hell. I guess it’s good for a laugh but it doesn’t mean anything about the average XYZ supporter.

@Cichocki — no one likes Obamacare, no matter what it is called, once they get the bill. And PS… just stood behind an annoying old lady at the post office who was complaining that there are no doctors who will accept medicare anymore. That’s “free universal healthcare” in a nutshell. As more people stop gushing over a failed ex-president and start trying to use their “free” healthcare, Obamacare will end up just like Prohibition — a well intentioned idea that is so impractical that even a child should have seen the end coming. There is no free lunch, and anyone who thinks there is should be forced to repeat kindergarten.

Universities have become political indoctrination camps, where so-called students are overcharged for an education they don’t get from professors. How many professors actually teach a full course load? Students take 4-5 courses per semester, while “full time” professors read last year’s lecture notes for one course, and dump grading duties onto grad students / T.A.s The students are groomed to parrot whatever stupid thing the professor says, from political correctness, to gender neutral pronouns, to safe space bull sh!t. And then these idiots are handed a diploma, tens of thousands in student debt, and told to go find a job that doesn’t require a college degree — because most college degrees (today) aren’t worth anything. Yes, I know college used to be important and valuable… back before socialism started creeping into national debates

This reminds me of the videos where people loved the ACA, but hated Obamacare.
