How Republicans bamboozle rural whites

[Guno צְבִי]

"They frankly laugh behind the backs of their own voters"

It's become a tedious trope, the Beltway journalist who goes on a red state safari to ask Donald Trump voters if they still like Trump. It frustrates smart readers because invariably the answer is "yes" yet the rationale is typically incoherent babble. Even that would be fine, if these reporters dug an inch deeper, to get at the various bigotries that are actually driving the MAGA movement. Instead, most of them seem too in awe of redhats sitting in diners, as though they've just encountered a rare species of bird in the wild, to bother interrogating them in a way that reveals anything genuinely valuable.

Nobody is more insulting to rural voters than the people who are giving them nothing and taking their votes. They claim Democrats are insulting, but Democrats are doing something for them and getting none of their votes. But nothing's more condescending than getting votes and doing nothing in return. J.D. Vance, Elise Stefanik and Tom Cotton: All these people were educated at Harvard and Yale. They frankly laugh behind the backs of their own voters to some degree, right? Those are the people who are really insulting. There's an old D.C. adage about stabbing people in the front. Republicans look you right in the eye and stab you right in the front

They shortchange the schools and they try to shift money away from public schools into to private school vouchers. And in a lot of rural areas, there are no private schools. They couldn't take advantage of that even if they wanted to. Republicans stood in the way of expanding broadband. And of course they promote abstinence-only sex education and make sure that women don't have access to contraception,


If that source of information is not there, not only are people disconnected from what's going on in their community, but the only messages that they get, especially from Fox News and conservative talk radio, is all about how they are besieged. That they're surrounded by enemies who want to literally destroy them and their way of life.

You have people in rural areas saying socialism is destroying their economies. But if you look at why the mom-and-pop shop closed and got replaced by a Dollar General? That's late stage capitalism. That ain't socialism. Right? If you look at why hospital and treatment facilities are closing, it's because rural hospitals don't turn a profit. That's capitalism, pure and simple. The same people who are complaining that socialism and communism are taking over America are watching their communities being decimated by late stage capitalism. And they're pointing fingers at cultural elites in faraway cities.

Somebody needs to go in there and say, pay attention to what's destroying your communities. Pay attention to who did it and who voted for those people because it's not the people that you think it is. Just like the old metaphor at the poker table, if you're not sure who the mark is at the table, it might be you.

The above shows a complete--COMPLETE--ignorance of what it is to live in a small rural community. It is astounding how stupid and ignorant the above is, but I can accept that Leftist Progressives living in a major city might believe that since that's what they're told by their like-thinking friends.

are you trying to draw a parallel to the way Demmycrats treat blacks?......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

And in a lot of rural areas, there are no private schools.

are you stupid enough to think that if there are no other choices they won't choose public schools?......on the other hand, if the public school IS incompetent, maybe school choice will spur healthy competition......

I grew up in a town of 650 in the middle of Iowa.....I went to a parochial grade school because my parents chose to send me there.......I wonder where these rural areas without choice are.......

You can't help but to laugh!

Trump is running a campaign of hate. He is using an old LBJ tack
He said " If you can convince the lowest white man that he is better than the best-colored man you can pick his pocket. Hell , if you give him someone to look down on, he will empty his pockets for you. "
That may be one of the few things that Trump has read.
He sure used it for a blueprint.

For-profit medicine works for the wealthy. They get the best of everything while the poor get bad access to hospitals and doctors. Healthcare is a right of all people. Universal healthcare is in all industrial states except one, the one with the poorest results.

yep.

from carbohydrates, vaccines, and child genital mutilation to carbon dioxide, elections and god.

A couple of thoughts.

1) this is the exact same thing you hear Republicans say about minority (but black specifically) voters

2) the OP shows a total lack of self awareness - doesn't matter how great you think your policies are, if you insult certain groups of people they're probably not going to vote for you in big numbers. In this particular case Democrats call white rural voters deplorables who cling to their guns and religion and are little more than flyover country rubes - then wonder why they don't win their votes.

No different than black voters and Republicans. Go talk to black people, many will say they don't love the Democratic Party but they think Republicans don't give a sh*t about them so no way they will vote Republican.
