53. Seems Darwin's Selection is at work.

I may get blasted for this but, I'll live with it.

Clearly, these animals (yes, humans are animals) may suffer the consequences of their decisions. Those consequences are they may not live to deliver the child and to breed more.

This really is natural selection. Many studies have shown Trump supporters function from their lizard-brain more than their higher brain functions. It seems pretty obvious they might begin paying a price for this in terms of natural selection. Those of us who think more from our higher brains have made different decisions. Like supporting liberal causes. Like choosing renewables. Admitting there is climate change and preparing for it. Trump supporters do things that are not in their own interests.

The Trump supporters, should they not survive, are simply natural selection at work. The lizard-brain was once very useful. Now, it is not. So, like other things that do not promote survival, it will be de-selected and eliminated.

It's just biology at work.

To Poor to leave, Wellstone ruled Sep 2018 #1

Yes, the article references thousands. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #2

Your mention of Education rings so darn true. Wellstone ruled Sep 2018 #15

I also grew up in a poor family. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #20

The reason I am so down and negative all the time is I dont expect them to ever learn Eliot Rosewater Sep 2018 #26

All in support of their fantasy of making America white again. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #34

LBJ sure had them figured out, with that quote we all know. Eliot Rosewater Sep 2018 #35

Yes, but the same poverty, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #37

That is such a true statement. Wellstone ruled Sep 2018 #41

A fantastic ending. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #42

It truly boggles the mind. nt Laffy Kat Sep 2018 #3

It does. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #6

Well sure they do FakeNoose Sep 2018 #19

Agreed. Any easy response. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #21

wow, jazzcat23 Sep 2018 #23

Not sure but I think they sell them on Amazon FakeNoose Sep 2018 #72

I feel sorry for them ProudLib72 Sep 2018 #4

Well said. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #7

I feel sorry for them, too. Tucker08087 Sep 2018 #9

I also hope that they stay safe. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #11

Agreed. Tucker08087 Sep 2018 #12

I do, too. These people are truly ignorant. Dave Starsky Sep 2018 #13

I mean...bless her heart, but... forgotmylogin Sep 2018 #78

The sad part of tRump's comment about "poorly educated" was that he was looking them in the alwaysinasnit Sep 2018 #5

Agreed. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #8

Yeah. Tucker08087 Sep 2018 #10

Twitter is proof SchrodingersCatbox Sep 2018 #17

He was ridiculing them to their faces. Dave Starsky Sep 2018 #14

How ironic that tRumpers like him because he is not politically correct when he speaks, and yet alwaysinasnit Sep 2018 #18

trDump'$.... "You knew I was a snake....." diatribe... magicarpet Sep 2018 #24

And they would probably vote for him again MiniMe Sep 2018 #16

Yes, many probably will do just that. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #22

Too bad the baby doesn't get to vote MaryMagdaline Sep 2018 #25

Or pick her parents. eom guillaumeb Sep 2018 #30

Yes. Poor kid. MaryMagdaline Sep 2018 #32

Is there really something called "too poor to evacuate?" PJMcK Sep 2018 #27

Yes. Eko Sep 2018 #29

Like Katrina, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #31

But aren't there local governmental protections and services?! PJMcK Sep 2018 #36

Local governments do not have the resources. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #39

You should delete this post. Eko Sep 2018 #28

Your ciriticism is unwarranted. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #33

No you are not. Eko Sep 2018 #38

So your quarrel is with the title? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #40

I dont care if this is or isnt the religion group. Eko Sep 2018 #43

While I understand the source of your obvious anger, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #44

Done with you. Eko Sep 2018 #45

Eko - come on, man! MyOwnPeace Sep 2018 #52

And that has been raised by me and others here as well. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #62

To me the telling point is Eko Sep 2018 #69

"There is no "come on" with this at all." MyOwnPeace Sep 2018 #73

I have no one on ignore. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #64

A perfect example of who should always vote Dem, but don't. Blue_true Sep 2018 #46

Agreed, but for various reasons, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #47

Republicans see people like that only at election time. nt Blue_true Sep 2018 #48

Aren't there evacuation buses? nt Ilsa Sep 2018 #49

Perhaps there are no local bus lines, no town transportation? eom guillaumeb Sep 2018 #57

That must be the weak part of the plan. Ilsa Sep 2018 #70

The GOP does not believe in government. eom guillaumeb Sep 2018 #71

Response to your other question Karadeniz Sep 2018 #50

Welcome to DU. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #55

awwwww...but the kitties! :) samnsara Sep 2018 #51

Yes, the cats. Are there no cat carriers? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #58

Seems Darwin's Selection is at work. bitterross Sep 2018 #53

Harsh, but I understand your feeling. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #59

Natural Selection is Harsh. bitterross Sep 2018 #67

Fuck that dehumanising bullshit right in its self-righteous ass. meadowlander Sep 2018 #89

Arrogant human. As if the world is all about humans. bitterross Sep 2018 #90

Still willing to rely on socialist rescue system randr Sep 2018 #54

Like public transportation? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #60

More likely true than not - Ms. Toad Sep 2018 #56

There is a picture in the Tribune article. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #61

Not at the link, that I can see. Ms. Toad Sep 2018 #63

You assumed correctly. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #65

It sounds like beachfront property Sanity Claws Sep 2018 #66

There's enough basis for the "poor" assessment that it seems reasonable to me. Ms. Toad Sep 2018 #68

She is a poor white worker, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #81

that claim is in itself gejohnston Sep 2018 #82

No it is not. It is stating the obvious. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #83

You don't even know what race she is gejohnston Sep 2018 #84

I first read the article in the Chicago Tribune print edition. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #85
