The democratic party does not and never has had a "rural cleansing rhetoric"

the most they've said is "your factories and mills aren't coming back"

because rural blue collar whites think the world should revolve around them, they've taken that as an attack on them

35+ years of toxic messaging from right wing populist media hasn't helped either.

There is nothing, whatsoever, that the democratic party could do to get red state republicans to vote for them. absolutely nothing. pavlovian conditioning has divorced "democrat" from any meaning but "bad" for that demographic.

Shittons of retail jobs in the cities and suburbs are going away and not coming back and the Dems don't have a solution for that either, it's almost as if there are some overarching economic issues that must be addressed that effect both city and rural people.

As well it bloody should, because all it says is "we don't give enough of a gently caress to make it work".

There is absolutely no way to make fungible manufacturing work in the USA.

There's a factory near here that used to make fuckin' brooms in Greene county and everyone's waiting for it to come back.

you ain't getting your loving broom factory back, cheaper to do it in vietnam and ship it in.

You keep manufacturing around by having an educated factory floor workforce and making technologically advanced products.

The US manufactures more now than we did in 1984, so obviously we're making that model work somewhere. It just isn't making Joe's broom factory come back so he's voted to throw a tantrum and destroy everything instead of being an adult and improving himself.

Fox-watching rural jesuslovers bond over contempt for people who aren't like them. They hate you, and they hate everything you stand for, because you aren't like them. Money is irrelevant to that. Return the favor.

you wont win the indoctrinated true believers and you dont have to. you just have to appeal to enough of the less insane ones and motivate them to vote so you don't get loving routed outside of every major city.

I grew up in small-town Indiana and will probably die here. I head to Evansville to get a dark reflection of something approaching civilization every now and again, but methed-out mad hatters utterly surround me on a daily basis. I stay for family, work and National Forrests and I do maintain friends from across the sanity aisle, but I'm not making excuses for them.

Growing up in a small town has to gently caress people's heads up unless they're of a certain disposition. Imagine knowing everyone, literally everyone there is to know. You know them, their parents, their kids. It makes you distrustful of strangers. People who live in the country don't just love the country, they resent the city. It breeds isolationism and fear.

I remember as a kid their was this big ordeal because an interracial couple walked through town and their was all this gossip about it as if that loving mattered. Needless to say they didn't stick around.


But it really is quite a beautiful state with really nice, walkable parks if that's your sort of thing. I just wouldn't recommend it for PoC but you know if you're straight and white go wild.

Sure, but it seems like when people are talking about rural people they're including decent sized cities of 100-200k or so, if not larger. Basically anybody who doesn't live in the handful of metropolises scattered around the country.

bullshit

that's a stupid suckzone saying

democrats, at the local and state level (and even federal, if you drill down far enough through some poo poo messaging) want to improve education, ensure access to clean water and air, improve and strengthen social safety nets, help spur investment in new industries or technologies (that does not include the race-to-the-bottom tax giveaways for anyone who will give them the time of day), make healthcare accessible and affordable

all of those things are DIRECTLY in the interest of rural voters who have pulled the red lever because the fox man said so

none of those things are "will literally make all of your dreams come true" like the current president campaigned on

none of those things would be fast or 100% efficacious but ALL of them would be in the interest of the voters who just keep electing people whose only agenda is to destroy any and all regulation that might have an impact on business/corporate profits and to make sure the effective tax rate of the top 2% is 0

they voted for the people who will push back on the culture wars and tell the brown people they should know their place

the people who will destroy education, eliminate social safety nets and poison their water and air

this whole "both parties are the same" poo poo is making some rwm fuckwad all warm inside
