Doctors vs Meatcutters.

(with apologies to anyone who is or has one in their family, regarding meatcutters/butchers)


How Trump supporters and some other voters sound:

I hate doctors. Every doctor I've met has done a crappy job with my health.

For the last 30 years, every doctor I've gone to has found something wrong with me and told me what I need to do to fix it.

Stop eating fast food. But, the fast food people tell me it's ok. There is nothing wrong with fast food. It's the doctors' fault!

Stop smoking. But, the cigarette people tell me it's ok. There is nothing wrong with cigarettes. It's the doctors' fault!

Stop drinking so much alcohol. But, beer and liquor people tell me it's ok. That stuff is healthy for me. It's the doctors' fault they say!

Stop eating so much salt and sugar. But, the sugar makers say sugar is great for me. It tastes great too! I should ignore all those scientific studies. Boo science! Also, they paid for another study that showed salt and sugar were harmless, and those guys were scientists, paid by the salt and sugar industry. So you know they are right! It's the doctors' fault anyway as they tell me.

Hey, maybe it is the doctors' fault!

Doctors suck. I mean with all their experience, education, and medical training.

Especially that one woman doctor. I hate her. So what if she's helped everybody she said she would help. I don't trust her anyway!

She's been a doctor for more than 30 years! With all that education, experience, and steadiness. Boring! So what if she's helped thousands, maybe millions, in that time. She still lost a couple of patients she was in charge of when she was working in another country for a few weeks. See, there you go. You can't trust her! Never could! That's what they tell me.

I will never go with another doctor.... EVER!

I need a change.

Meatcutters. Butchers.

Yeah, that's it! This one meatcutter can do it. He's really loud, flashy, and looks cool. He also has a foreign wife. You know what they say, foreign car and foreign wife is a good life.

He owns a bunch of meatcutting places. Sure, six of them have been closed down because of failure to pay and other things. But, hey, there he still is. He also says a bunch of stupid, crazy things, but at least he's not a doctor!

He also says he's really, really, rich doing all this meatcutting. I don't know if it's true, but he says it is, and he wouldn't say anything that wasn't true would he?

He says we should stick to fatty white meat. White meat is the best. It's all that other meat that is inferior and we should go grab it all and take it away. That dark meat is really bad. Sometimes it's blackish, sometimes it's brown. It is the problem with everything. He says we should get rid of all dark meat, and stick with only fatty white meat. I don't know, but he's a meatcutter. He must know what he's talking about.

I mean he cuts into flesh too, same thing as a doctor right?

Next time I or anyone in my family is sick or needs medical attention, we will be going to him!

At least he's not a doctor. What, with all their education, training, and experience.

What I and "we" need is someone who isn't a doctor. Someone who doesn't have any experience in any of this! That's how things will get better for me.

Stop diagnosing me with a bunch of problems you doctors. That makes me feel sad.

Instead, keep telling me things I want to hear and how you'll make me great again. That makes me happy.
See! Meatcutters.

Donald Trump regarding not paying taxes: "That makes me smart."

Hmmm....

Mr. Law and Order candidate.... the police, FBI, DEA, border patrol, ICE, US Customs, various state Department of Corrections, are funded by taxes.

Education is funded by taxes.

Public Safety is funded by taxes.

Disaster relief (FEMA) for flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, and earthquake victims, is funded by taxes.

The Secret Service, who protects your ass, is funded by taxes.

By trying not to pay your taxes, you are giving the big middle finger to all those.

President Stilson.... or President Donald Trump?

Lie: "Illegal immigrants are taking good paying American jobs!"

Really? I can't recall the last time I saw an illegal immigrant hold a gun to the head of a person in HR or a hiring manager and demand a job, or else!

If "iilegal immigrants" truly are taking "good paying" American jobs, then ....

Who is doing the hiring?
