    “A funny thing happened to the First Amendment on its way to the public forum. According to the Supreme Court, money is now speech and corporations are now people. But when real people without money assemble to express their dissatisfaction with the political consequences of this, they’re treated as public nuisances and evicted.”
    ― Robert Reich

    Sinclair Lewis was critical of American capitalism and materialism.

    Huey Lewis was a lot like Trump.

    The Jungle is a novel written in 1904 by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities.

    The Kingfish was corrupt but he did have some saving graces such as distributing some wealth to the proles.

    Trump takes from the proles and gives it too rich vulture capitalists.

    I don't know.

    He built a bad ass bridge over the mississippi, though. It's still standing.

    I am sure his base had a lot of uneducated people, though.

    Louisiana was an extremely corrupt state when he was in power. Vices like, drugs, gambling, prostitution and so on.

    The sum total seems to be that his actions did more harm than good.

    The employees paid by the state were also organized into supporting the Kingfish. The teachers are one example that if you did not support Long vocally and monetarily, you did not teach.

    Clearly you don't understand what it is he is saying. Oh and he knew all about the lefts sell out to Socialism/Communism lite. Even knew about the Russian Spy the Demos put in the State Dept.

    I know it bothers ya......but then that is what reality does to the left.
