How Republicans bamboozle rural whites

[SmarterthanYou]

"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

because some of us CAN afford to provide a better education for our children.......

Doing so at the expense of most American kids is a disservice to the nation.

no Republican has ever voted to defund schools.......the spending per student through federal funding would actually increase.....granted, parents who were dissatisfied with their local schools might shift their support to a nonpublic school, but that would be because of the incompetence of local control not because of Republican federal action......

as far as I know some teachers have been "attacked" because of incredibly stupid decisions regarding CRT and DIE......that is not merely a Republican attack......Virginia made that obvious in 22......

I’d like to respond to this but I can’t because … I’m bamboozled.

BTW, I think I’m the guy on the left.
