I don't think they really listen to people but tend to write off those who dare to have a different view on life as a mad, prejudiced, minority who don't matter. As a result of this delusional behaviour there's now a phenomenon known as GBBE - Gordon Brown Bigot Effect - and we've seen it in action with UKIP/Brexit and now we're seeing it in action again in the US. This is what happens when growing swathes of the electorate turn away from those who either disregard their views or cynically promise what they know they have no intention of delivering, backed up by the plethora of vastly rich holier than thou 'celebrities' who've done rather well out of the status quo.
Anyway, lets see how many of those who shouted out how they'd leave the US if Trump was elected will actually do so. I wonder if they'll outnumber their high profile UK 'Remainer' counterparts who're so ashamed and are no doubt heading off to live in the politically stable and moderate EU Utopia in droves as I write...  |
Same luvvies who said they would take in "refugees" to their notting hill mansions.how's that pledge going?
