I know some jim bobs and I've never known them to care about the lives of coastal liberals even a little bit beyond the abstract

You know broad brushes can paint both ways - a whole shitload of people who happen to live near a coast or in a blue state are struggling in very similar ways as jim bob and aren't unaware of their enmity and don't appreciate being lumped in with the 1%ers they themselves resent just as strongly

So list of ways that Trump has personally hosed with vets

- Shut down daycare due to the hiring freeze

- VA staffers stating that their service will suffer b/c administrative and support staff can't be hired

- Family of vets being deported

- Hiring freeze affects Child Care services for military families. At my CDC this has caused them to halt bringing in new children for care, meaning my wife and I can't find care for our 6 month old infant, as we both work full time. Thank God for my awesome retired in-laws staying with us for the last two months since my wife got off maternity leave in order to help with the kids. gently caress Donald Trump.

the notion that jim bob can live in a world where he once again makes a living manufacturing cars is a delusion

Jim Bob can make a living manufacturing cars and lots of Jim Bobs in the US do. The cars they make a living manufacturing are high-margin halo vehicles (Ford trucks, Mercedes, Volvo).

Jim Bob cannot make a living assembling the Chevrolet Spark because the Spark is not a money maker, it is a (necessary) concession to CAFE.

Germany has the most highly educated factory floor workers in the world and the goods they make are considered some of the best in the world. That's how you make money on manufacturing in an advanced economy.

Jim Bob will never make a living in a factory making polyethylene bags again because you can do that poo poo anywhere and there's no Marco on it.

tucker carlson is still a massive piece of poo poo, but hes totally on point with why people hate the "liberal elite"

Carlson's political views haven't evolved as he likes to claim. His parents live in the same building as my mother, and they have been Trump Republicans long before Trump ran for president. His dad wrote a "humorous" book about killing Hillary, and has been a mean spirited troll for a long time. On the bright side his dad is a morbidly obese glutton who is not long for this world. The one thing Tucker didn't inherit from his parents was their interpersonal skills - they are by far the nicest lovely people you will ever meet.

I mean the way I was using "globalist" literally meant "capitalist". globalization is an unavoidable conclusion of capitalism + technology, which is why the idea of resisting it without resisting capitalism (as no trump voter seems to want) is loving absurd

yes and thats good because trump is going to make it impossible for jim bob to get health care and then he will die of heart problems if diabetes doesn't get him first and then the problem will be solved

No this is as old as time. The majority of poor are not white but the only poor we will talk about as a nation are white, and we can't disparage them by calling them "poor" so we call them "working class"

The highest average income for a black person, by state, in America is equal to the lowest for a white person.
