Much of it self-inflicted because of his massive ego. For all his delusions of cosmopolitanism, Bob is just a piece a parochial white trash from Boston's suburbs. He rails on about Trump's stupidity, but I believe that Trump is far more perceptive than Bob will ever be or the elites that he ingratiates himself to.
Bob is one of the dipshits who insists Trump is both pants-shitting retarded AND an evil mastermind of destruction.
Right, I think that contradictory shtick has been used with Trump, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and others. I'm not sure what the equivalent talking point regarding Democratic candidates is.
Oh, you see it thrown around about AOC quite a bit. There is no point on the political spectrum that’s free from this kind of thinking.
Outsourcing doesn't involve illegal immigrants taking your job. Outsourcing when it's used in this sense is basically when companies move an entire department (tech support, manufacturing) overseas because they can pay a Chinese or Indian worker a fraction of what they'd be required to pay a legal American worker. Outsourcing absolutely gutted American manufacturing in the 70's and 80's. Manufacturing used to be considered a stable, reliable source of work for a lot of people.
Eh, don't think so. He was loser in school, but mostly harmless. You know the type, the absolute NPC. Not smart enough to be a nerd, not passionate enough to be a geek, not fit enough to be a jock, not normal enough to be, well, a normie. Just a loser, but not the type that would become a schoolshooter, because that requires passion. Bob back then thought his life would vindicate him, because the movies taught him that the underdog would win in the end. So he went on with his life to become an Internet star to make millions, live in a mansion and bang the hot models.
True, but it also created new service industry jobs; and one could theoretically say that about anything (e.x. the invention of the firearm put swordsmiths out of business, but created new jobs for gunsmiths, etc).
Moving the manufacturing of an item (let's say, wrenches) to the other side of the world for a thicker profit margin isn't the same thing as technology moving on. And most of the "service jobs" don't match the stability and earning potential that manufacturing had in the rust belt. You use the example of swordsmiths to gunsmiths- the two would have metallurgy and metalworking knowledge in common. If a factory worker gets laid off after 10 or 20 years and has to move to a service job, he has to basically start from zero with the earning potential of someone brand new. It's a shitty situation to be in.
Trump has accomplished far more with his life than Bob, or the people Bob simps for, ever have or ever will. It probably grinds Bob's gears to no end that Trump has banged literal supermodels while Bob is ignored by every lady he's simped for.
He was dubbed Creepy Uncle Bob for good reason. Bob spouts off about stupid mayonnaise ghouls then immediately broadcasts his intention to sexualize oblivious small children. By his own logic, Bob deserves to be killed off.
Bobs view of the working class is warped by his upbringing where the guy was bullied and shunned by the peers of working class families because he was a jerk and has turned his resentment toward his childhood peers into a hatred for the working class. Theres also this sentiment among his wannabe peers that "yeah the working class are great but I don't actually want to be working class", that Bob autisticly turns into genocide and saying robots are going to replace the working class next year.
No his stupidity is due to the fact he is addicted to Twitter and NEEDS to have an opinion on everything under the sun from politics, to current movies, to animal behavior, to cooking. Bob is desperate to portray himself as this modern day Renaissance Man who knows everything thanks to the Internet regardless if he knows anything or has any interest in the topic at hand. This results in him posting shallow takes on current events that are framed through corporate mass-market pop culture because that's the only thing he truly knows. "Donald Trumps latest idea to address the COVAID virus is just like Thanos using the Infinity Stones and only the wealthy intelligent Avengers like Iron Man and Black Panther have any hope of defeating the villain who embodies the worst aspects of the angry white working class". If he could keep his fingers off his phone for more than five minutes he could either come up with an intelligent take on the subject or realize he'd be making a fool of himself if he posted what he just wrote.
Trump has done more to advance the whole "post-national, border-less, world" Bob dreams of than Bob himself. Trump's built Golf courses and hotels in other countries providing jobs to the individuals in those countries instead of Americans and is married to an immigrant woman vs Bob who has only contributed to other countries GDP by racking up an impressive bar bill and will never know the touch of a woman unless he pays a little extra at the Filipino massage parlor.
As much as I'm feeling what you're saying, I don't believe for a second that he'll get any push back from this. His sycophant followers of unwashed, super commies, furries, and ADBLs will openly agree with what he said, and by openly agree I mean they'll like, retweet, and maybe comment because must of them aren't stupid enough to say it out loud or directly.
So according to Kino Roberto over here, Josef Mengele and Ted Bundy are better people than someone who's not the brightest but is still kindhearted and tries to do good in the world. Seems right in line with his shitty ideology.
