      Real Estate has historically been a relatively safe investment platform compared to other options, so you have a large concentration of people who think they are entitled to a massive ROI with basically no effort or risk on their part.

      And if there’s any group of people that think they are entitled to sit on their ass and rake in the money after reaching a certain level of success, it’s conservatives.

        investment platform

        What a fancy way of describing real estate.

        It’s much more accurate to call it, exploiting poor people’s basic needs to get ahead. But of course then you’d be reminding them they aren’t the goody two shoes they like to cosplay as. Can’t have that.

      Trump started out as real estate investor. They think they can do what he has done without realizing how big a a fuck up he was as president.
