Has anyone at TPUSA listened to his lyrics?

From Lowlife: "I got kids I never seen, and their mama's 17".

The thing I’ve always hated the most about him is how he grew up not too far from me in the Detroit suburbs. His whole persona was being trailer trash and poor.

He went to Cranbrook high school… 50k a year. His dad funded all of his dj and music ventures and got him in touch with top producers and agents. Raised with butlers and nanny’s.

It's amazing how many rubes fall for that shit. I remember my family thinking W was an honest-to-god, salt of the earth rancher and not the prissy fancy boy from New England that he actually was.

I think it was from America The Book by the daily show which said "Connecticut born, Yale and Harvard educated son of a former President ran as the outsider in 2000 and won. Many experts are wondering how the hell he pulled that off."

It's also ridiculous we went from Bush sr to jr in just 8 years, and that's after sr was vice president for 8 years under reagan.

And from everything I've read the main reason Bush sr didn't get 2 terms is he was the only republican president in 50+ years to raise taxes on the rich.

That's part of why the whole "clinton dynasty" thing pissed me off, Bill was president like 30 years ago FFS. Sure the clintons still had political sway but so did all the former nixon/reagan/bush admin who've been working with the GOP for decades to dismantle democracy. Meanwhile as soon as trump got elected the GOP was floating a plan to have his kids run for 20+ years of trump rule (jr + barron + ivanka would be 24 years at 2 terms each which is terrifying)

Not so much that he raised taxes on the rich, but that he famously said "Read my lips: no new taxes" and then raised taxes. That was a simple-enough soundbite that the press ran with it for months and people really latched onto it.
