If Bernie Supporter And Trump Supporter Had This ConversationBy Jon Rappoport outcomes include a staggering $181 billion U.S. trade deficit with NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada and the related loss of 1 million net U.S. jobs under NAFTA, growing income inequality, displacement of more than one million Mexican campesino farmers and a doubling of desperate immigration from Mexico Imagine that two guys (hail Bernie) (hail Trump), after pushing and shoving each other at a rally, crushing each others signs, screaming, throwing a few punches, accusing each other of betraying what America stands for, and so on, backed off, settled down a little, and actually (God forbid) started talking Hail Bernie Guy: So who the hell are you anyway? Hail Trump Guy: What the hell are you talking about? HBG: What do you do? HTG: None of your business. What do you do? HBG: Nothing. Not a damn thing. Ive been looking for work since 2011. HTG: Bullshit. HBG: You find that hard to believe, you idiot? HTG: No. Im out of work, too. I had a job in a factory in Ohio. HBG: I worked in a factory in Illinois. HTG: Youre kidding. HBG: They stole my job. My company shut down the plant and moved it to Mexico. HTG: My company went to Bangladesh. The workers there make four cents an hour. If theyre lucky. HBG: Thats why they relocate. Slave wages, no unions, no safety regulations. HTG: Jesus, you and I are HBG: Looks like were in the same friggin boat. And it sank. HTG: My guy Trump says he can bail me out with a job. HBG: My guy says the same thing. Not sure I really believe him. HTG: I know what you mean. My guy is a lot of flash. HBG: My guy thinks the government can fix things. You mean the Congress is going to repeal all those fucking trade treaties that put us in a hole to begin with? I dont see it happening. HTG: Exactly. HBG: Does it occur to you HTG: That were both being worked over? It sort of does. HBG: I mean, how is it that, this year, there are two guys running for President who are opposite extremes, and both of them are talking about bringing jobs back to the US and how were being screwed? But theyre opposites. Total extreme opposites. HTG: Its like somebody wants to put us at each others throats, even though HBG: We both have the same problem. Caused by the same damn people. HTG: The Globalists. HBG: The fucking Globalists. HTG: Can you imagine what would happen if all of us, all the Americans whove been getting screwed in the same way, losing our jobs, were on the same side? HBG: We could be a fucking tidal wave. HTG: So who wins by keep us at each others throats? HBG: A Globalist. HTG: A Globalist whos running for President. HBG: Who happens to have a husband who signed the fucking NAFTA treaty in 1993, and put a million Americans out of work. HTG: Not only that. NAFTA put over a million Mexican farmers in the dumper, too. How many of them do you think have been coming up across the border because theyre broke? HBG: Shit. I didnt think of that. HTG: Somethings going on here, buddy. HBG: Looks that way. HTG: Put fucking Trump and Bernie on the same ticket. HBG: Very funny. Never going to happen. HTG: Looks like we needed just one guy running for President. Maybe one different guy. Not Bernie or Trump. HBG: Yeah, maybe. One guy who wouldnt have split us apart. One guy who could spell out the whole Globalist con job. The trade treaties. Stealing our jobs. Our livelihoods. Selling out the whole goddamn country. HTG: You and I are probably both patriotic when it comes right down to it. HBG: If being patriotic means having a decent job and the government isnt fighting wars all over the world, then Im on board. You know something? There are people on your side and my side who are HTG: Trying to screw things up. By taking them to extremes. But what you and I are talking about right now is pretty simple. I dont want to sound like a conspiracy nut, but maybe there are people on your side and mine who are coming in from the outsidetrying to mess us both up. Just stirring up trouble. HBG: Ive seen them. HTG: So have I. HBG: Somethings wrong. HTG: Were being conned. Worked over. HBG: This might surprise you, but I dont want the government to do everything for me. I dont trust the government. HTG: Neither do I. HBG: It isnt just corporations. The big corporations and the government are both screwing us. HTG: And I was ready to get in a fight with you. Go to the wall. HBG: Me too. Its bullshit. But whos listening to us? HTG: The noise is drowning us out. HBG: Because were making more sense than all the media assholes put together. HTG: We need something different. HBG: Very different. end of the conversation Divide and conquer. As old as the hills. Or maybe as new as Hill-ary. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

HBG: Who needs outside agitators? Way to take the message to heart! You got a brother named Patrick? No. Is that a real question or am I not getting the reference? Sorry, thought you might be another Colin James. All good. Rappoport demonstrates in this article an understanding of the American democratic pretense which goes largely undiscussed and undiscovered by journalists and the electorate. My big question to both the Bernie supporters and the Trump supporters is: what common ground can you find grounded in the U.S. Constitution? Because you MUST if America is going to survive. Neither Bernie nor Trump talks about the U.S. Constitution much. Bernie is a socialist so he will never follow the Constitution. He seeks to use Fabian socialism to gradually overthrow it and bring in a socialist government. Trump is more of an unknown quantity. He might possibly have the potential to save and restore the U.S. Constitution, but I dont hear him really focus on it. So, Mr. Trump, I challenge you to honor the Constitution as much as Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are doing. Lets hear more about the Constitution from you.
