I work a lot with stats. They give an idea some very complicated subjects. They are never definitive proof, however. Still, as said, they do allow a notional understanding of the world around us. For instance, about politics, these are some interesting stats regarding the last election - from here: Seven Surprising Graphics About Trump Supporters - excerpt (one graphic) below. Three Major Drivers of Working Class White Voters: Makes one wonder how the study defined "White working-class". So, here's the dictionary definition: Oh yeah, now THAT makes sense for the graphic! Howzat? (Because it is the socioeconomic group that has been most impacted by the transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age that is now happening.) And, what might that look like? From here: Employment by major industry sector - most recent growth rates: Industry Sector -------------------------- Percent C A R C* Non-agriculture wage and salary...... 0.8 Goods producing.............................. 0.8 Services-providing............................ 1.0 Agriculture, forestry, etc. .................. 1.1 Non-agriculture self-employed ......... -0.3 *Compound Annual Rate of Change (2008/201 Note that the above is the rate-of-change measured yearly over the past ten years (meaning showing today's figure against that of a decade ago). It is the non-agricultural self-employed sector that is still hurting in terms of producing jobs. (But that also may simply mean that people who were self-working perhaps have found a full-time job.) So, what does the above mean? Sectoral Growth in each of the above industries is positive, except one. Does it mean that Consumer Demand cannot change. NO! We-the-sheeple consumers could start another downturn tomorrow for the same reasons we did a decade ago. Of course, any politician will want to take credit for the above "so-called" success. Which is nonsensical. We-the-sheeple consumers are ultimately responsible for Total Demand (TD) that produces/sustains (or not) jobs. That is, it is the nation's TD-measure that either puts people to work or keeps people in work or the reverse of both - and not politicians. I.e., it is TD that will decide where you work, how much you earn and whether or not you lose your job! We-the-sheeple are just consumer-cogs in the economic wheel ...
The graphic shows some truths as well. Illegal Immigrants should be deported. Why? Because they cut the line and violated the process for becoming a Legal Immigrant. College is a gamble when college costs have been rising faster than Wages and college graduates end up on perpetual debt their new entry level cannot extinguish. However, fears about cultural displacement in a country that displaced Indigenous People who had been here for thousands of years before Columbus set sail is truly an 'Opps! I played my race bating card too soon!' factor in these stats (if they are true and accurate). The delusion that White People (because I don't play the PC game and I'm calling a spade a spade) in the United States are somehow being put upon, driven out, made moot or somehow being displaced from the power structures here, is a bit humorous at the very least. White People are still in power (for the most part) and still discriminate in places of employment, education and social settings.
Democrats almost always win the two lowest income hexiles overwhelmingly in election after election at every level. This is really all one needs to know to parse out what kinds of workers vote for whom. Trying to conceal this beneath all manner of contorted, distorted spin on "white working class," "rural/urban this or that," trying to PROJECT, deflect and strain this basic electoral fact into all manner of out of context lie narratives on "Trump voters" is a product of: 1) statist/collectivist greedster insecurity that they REQUIRE a permanent, dependent underclass to have any prayer of being elected, and that reality entails them CREATING and IMPORTING more and more permanent dependents, an obviously DYSGENIC, DYSTOPIAN, TOXIC methodology to obtain and maintain political power. 2) more insecurity in that even their pea brains comprehend that in the world of correlations, that income correlates with intelligence is a very strong one. That is a tough pill to swallow when one is trying to claim "we are the smarter ones." Cognitive dissonance, rationalization and BOATLOADS of Complex projection ensue. This thread is just the latest example of that. Some shill posters on this forum even SPECIALIZE in the "most/least educated" projections/lie narratives. Presumably these issue most from NEA and other similar public unions trying to convince themselves more than anyone else that they are "better" people while they howl greedily to point the government gun barrel at their ACTUAL betters in the private sector and take more and more than the 30-50% they already take by force.
