There is a caste of people who do not have the mental acuity to see past the immediate picture, be it globalism, climate or jobs. They just can't comprehend the possibilities, much less sift through the evidence and develop plans of action that can potentially make the world a better place to live.
In the meantime our greedy corporations are plundering our resources and jobs, leaving behind a trail of waste materials, people and energy all to appease the lust for the almighty dollar.
And that caste fully supports those capitalistic vultures holding them up as some sort of deity. They themselves know they can never own 7 yachts, but their company's CEO does, so by extension they can claim them too, though they will never set foot on one.
Those are the people in that convoy. And those are the people our Republicans embrace for their votes. Because those are the people too dumb to see the big picture of anything, and vote by emotions, not intellect. They live for today and hope tomorrow sorts itself out. It always does. One way or the other.
