They are shameless.  Republican raises $80k running against Adam Schiff before moving to Texas to challenge Colin Allred. Has no intention of returning the money.  Not registered to vote in Texas. Says he has roots here because a great grandfather was a cotton farmer here.

Maybe it's always been relatively close, discounting what the NRA would contribute.  With that curtailed greatly, combined with the GOP's 19th century stance on social issues as a party, things have changed.

I've never been big into politics other than doing a little research before voting, and have voted around 70/30 Democratic to Republican in the past. Between the end of last year and today I've probably donated to 6 or 7 Dem candidates already. Waiting to see who the Surly Lib PAC decides to support too.

Can someone please explain to me the rural poor’s love for the GOP. I genuinely don’t understand how that came to be. The 14 states with the highest poverty rates are all Republican strongholds. The the great lakes states are only swing states because they have a balance between rural and urban population but the rural poor in those places are all overwhelmingly republican  

Is it a race thing? A gun thing? 

[High Plains Drifter 11,050]

 

I think its a "no matter how poor and stupid I am, the GOP lets me look down on darkies, immigrants, and librul elites  so that I can feel better about myself. I'm even willing to vote for against my own interests for that sweet feeling of smug superiority" thing.

It's a lot of this, summed up by a damned cartoon:

Think of the "plight of the rural white working man."  Then think of who the GOP has told us who is to blame for it -- immigrants, (((coastal elites))), etc.  And listen to the GOP battle cry -- they'll "make America Great Again" -- that is, take you back to the good old days, when we burned nuthin' but coal, and white guys were the only folks around who could do those jobs.

Guns, homosexuality, etc. -- those are just proxy issues to remind poor white folks that all of their problems are caused by some version of "the other," who don't respect poor white folks' "way of life."  It's dog whistles on top of dog whistles.

you want my honest opinion?

i think it's a country music thing. i think it has to do with "okie from muskogee" and "a country boy can survive" thing. the rural population still doesn't know how to deal with the hippies and the diversity. go to east texas. see where the black folks still live actually across the train tracks. see all the stars and bars stickers and flags on dually pickup trucks. fuck, just go to a bucee's and look around the parking lot, and look in the shopping section.

it's nixon's southern strategy, and it fucking worked, because while nixon was an evil fuck, he was also a fucking super genius. and while it resonated as the "southern strategy" it worked in rural everywhere, because that's small town white folks who are scared of the black folks, and that manifests itself as overt and sometimes subtle racism.

it's race. abortion is symptomatic of the race thing, but it's really race. like i said above, there's some hippie dippie shit thrown in there for good measure, but it's mostly race. because the hippies were for race equality. it's race. it's always race for republicans. i think i've only realized this obvious fact very recently.

i'm telling you, it's race, first and foremost. republicans are okay with "confirmed bachelors" like lindsey graham. 

god and guns are just appeals to the rural, simple folks.

the republican party has been exploiting the ignorant for years and year now. getting your average rural voter to vote for upper class and corporate tax cuts because reasons. the venn diagram between those taking entitlements in rural america and those that vote against entitlements in rural america has significant overlap. there's also a strange fantasy in the rural community that they are THISCLOSE to being rich. maybe the next season will produce a bounty crop. maybe that next lotto ticket has the jackpot. maybe there's oil under their land. whatever it is.

therefore, protecting the rich is in their best interests, because, as entitled white people, they have a real chance at being rich, so they want the landing zone as padded as possible for when they arrive. i'm telling you, country music has a lot to do with it.

It is quite sad really - they don't realize their dreams have already been divided up, financialized, and are no longer available to them. They are left holding the rope as the wealth concentrates in tiny citadels around the world. The ones that realize it become bitter. At that small point in time, most can be reached. But elite lackeys are cruel, so they harden, put on their protective shell, and withdraw into anger.

This type of behavior (below) by the media and talking heads is extremely unhelpful and unhealthy for this nation. This drives these Americans to Trump.

Nazis didn't just disappear after WW2, but it certainly became unacceptable to be one in public.  And as a result, the belief system faded away (for a while...)

I want these people to be embarrassed.  I want them to go hide on the internet and be scared to wear their stupid red hats in public.  I want them to feel like outcasts in their home land.  Their opinions should be ridiculed and we are only hurting the country by pretending that these disingenuous fucks aren't actively making everything worse.  Some will adapt and learn that the world is changing.  Others will stay stubborn and eventually die and we will be better off.
