Anyone here ever hear the story when the leader of the USSR, saw an American grocery store for the first time in Texas? He randomly went in on a whim and he was shocked when he realized this wasnt staged for him. This was the true wealth and power of America in his eyes. If his citizens who had a rather destitute array of options as a comparison saw this, it would be an instant revolt.

For a long time, on the plane to Miami, he sat motionless, his head in his hands. What have they done to our poor people? he said after a long silence. On his return to Moscow, Yeltsin would confess the pain he had felt after the Houston excursion: the pain for all of us, for our country so rich, so talented and so exhausted by incessant experiments.

Mr. Yeltsin added, I think we have committed a crime against our people by making their standard of living so incomparably lower than that of the Americans. An aide, Lev Sukhanov was reported to have said that it was at that moment that the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed inside his boss.

Now? Trump tries to make supermarket trips sound dystopian in an attempt to disenfranchise poor citizens who have less access to IDs.

lol remember when Sanders didn't know how to ride the subway?

Nobody cared then either, but it was still funny just like this

I mean the guy grew up in NYC. Its just the last time he lived there was probably in his 20s if I remember correctly? Im sure he had to use the subway at least a few times in his youth. The difference between this and Trump is that Bernies mistake isnt malicious and someone whos never been to NYC or hasnt ridden the subway in a while can get tripped up by it. Trumps statement on the other hand... who could make that same mistake?
