i'm not saying you have to tolerate anything, i'm just calling you out for your odd fantasies about fixing america by pulling some reverse deliverance scenario and salting the cultural earth of nascarland. you're going to fight the culture war until you die because guess what, a multicultural democracy cuts both ways. you can't have a diverse massive country with freedom of speech and thought where everyone happens to agree with you

anyway just to be clear i am directly stating that your opinions are bad. i don't need to agree with the people you're mocking to mock you


poor rural white republican men are

That's some crazy hyperbole there (salting the cultural earth of nascar land? go gently caress yourself) , I just think we can tackle so many of these perceived cultural deficiencies (and much more!) by educating our kids and creating tighter knit societies through that education. Honestly it'd be great if we didn't have to share an executive with these garbage tier states that refuse to elect people to actually govern but this is the country I'm stuck with and we all gotta get to the future together.

Depends on the area. Local government is a "good ol' boys" network of assholes. Some rich, some poor, all assholes. And those poor white constituents are who put them there, and are happy that way. They don't hate the local boys in charge. They hate "that friend of the family in the White house"(sic).

Honestly, the solution is compulsory K-12 education with real national standards and the inability of parents to opt their kids out. Make it a point of destroying the pre-modern thinking of the kid's parents as part of educational indoctrination. Culture is only a generation thick at best, so you can solve the problem in 30 or so years at the worst.

maybe the real cultural deficiency is in your heart

seriously though do none of you see the irony in "blaming white culture for being so lazy and ignorant" or do we just not care in our endless rush to impotently vent about the bad people wot ruined america

But maybe they're just lazy. Or they're getting handouts from the politicians they vote for. Or some other vague reference to welfare queens that I can't think of right now.

Depends which way of life you are on the side of. A shockingly large and diverse crosssection of the country seems to dislike this "New america", despite much of the activist left taking a "Its done, stop talking about it" position on policy decided in the last year or so. I think gay marrage/military service has a lot more to do with trumpism than having a black president. From where i am sitting bill clinton got treated just as badly or worse. (Actual impechment and accusations of theft or murder from high level republicans, instead of parliamentary opposition and fringe conspiracy theories). I wasnt around for carter but i imagine he got treated as badly as both of them.

So its not so much "Black president, not my president!", as "Democratic president, not my president!" (with a dash of racism on top)

Find me this person. They're a loving rear end in a top hat if that's what they said. I have a problem with my family and old close neighbor's ideology and treatment of gays, minorities, athiests, muslims and immigrants. Nothing about their work ethic.
