gee maybe they realized that a billionaire who is sleeping with playboy models and never going anywhere without a private jet is not the real people’s man he claims to be.
Doubtful. That would require them having any actual knowledge of what is going on, or even caring about it. If anything it is because something he enacted finally personally affected themselves.
Why?
He’s doing exactly what he said he would do. The results are exactly what the Dems said they would be.
Tell you what, if Trump was the “being pissed off at being dismissed as stupid” vote it’s not playing out too well.
I guess US leftists in the “they’re both the same” camp and US right wingers in the “he just says things” camp have made that horseshoe a donut.
“Now it’s affecting us.”
Fucking scum.
Rural voters have long been a cornerstone of Trump’s base
I’ve never understood that. Why would honest, hard-working Americans root for a convicted criminal billionaire? It seems like the very definition of self-harm to me.

Stupid. The answer is stupid.
And rapist.
And coastal elite blue state born rich snob.
Things they’re supposed to hate. But hey, he said he hated the same people they do and constantly spews vile rhetoric that they like, and that’s all they needed to throw their support behind him.
These people are amoral. It’s that simple.
I think it has to do with them being “villified” as backwards hicks in the media, and no doubt by many a city dweller. It gets people defensive, and there may also be a traditional aspect that hasn’t been revised. Just my thoughts on it though

Written in 2016, still perfectly on point.
I do remember reading that. I have mixed feelings. I can excuse the first time the second time though… that’s harder.
Education correlates with willingness to vote for Democrats and progressives.
Conservative news stations like the Murdoch’s networks dominate cable news and are very high ranking on Sattelite. Last few years many local broadcast stations were also bought out by conservatives.
Another nail in the coffin is fossil fuels. Coal and Oil are the lifebloods of some regions like the Bakken Shelf of North Dakota. They’re afraid of the environmental policies.
Finally, Religion. Evangelicals and other anti-abortion christian denominations dominate small towns.
It’s a coalition of bad ideas.
Moron cunts.
But a new PBS/NPR/Marist poll, conducted between April 21 and 23 among 1,439 adults, shows that Trump’s support among rural voters is declining.
The true reason PBS/NPR are getting defunded
Lmao and it hasn’t even affected store shelves for a few more weeks.
Glad to hear it.
