I still don't think the Trump supporters ever saw "Repossessed", so I'm going with the idea that they were around when this song was popular.

The second amendment is a classic example- the writers of the amendment left detailed explanations of what it means, which the right wingers totally ignore, in favor of utter rubbish that they made up themselves. For them, the Constitution is just something to bash liberals with, confident that none of their followers is intelligent or informed enough to know that they are lying. Or, as Wingnut Wrapup was started to demonstrate, standard operating procedure for Republicans.<br /><br />And Marc, perhaps you are thinking of this?<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXy7qYAKrfc<br /><br />Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels- I remember them well from back in the day.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-25886665510805198352016-08-04T06:22:11.361-07:002016-08-04T06:22:11.361-07:00I think the picture with Hillary Clinton wearing b...I think the picture with Hillary Clinton wearing blue is the thing that is setting off the whole "She's the devil" line. I mean, when you reach back to a song popular in 1966 (and used in the 1990 movie "Repossessed") to describe her, your target demographic isn't exactly young or mainstream. Pretty sure most of the Trump supporters are older, but I'm not sure how they'd sort out as fans of Linda Blair comedy movies...Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680604981092904582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-59982309054971727922016-08-04T03:25:57.035-07:002016-08-04T03:25:57.035-07:00"This country will be so far from what the Fo..."This country will be so far from what the Founding Fathers wanted..."<br /><br />I don't mean to offend, here, with my foreigner's irreverence... but didn't the last of them die off 180 years ago and didn't some of them own slaves? Surely what they mostly wanted was money, booze and skirt. They were just men.<br /><br />I doubt one person in the United Kingdom gives a fuck what King George III wanted.<br /><br />Most people in Western civilisation do not feel beholden to an interpretation of the will of dead people they read about in school. They might be appreciative of their suffering and their efforts... but that's it, then they go and deal with their own aspirations in their own day and age. <br />'Freedom', in other words.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423673258718941141noreply@blogger.com
