Freaking Crumbum posted:i dunno, it's been an extremely successful platform of the GOP for the last three-ish decades! just like dehumanizing your political opponents has been a successful platform of the GOP for the last three-ish decades  but the poor rurals will embrace socialism if we appeal to them enough no they won't dumb rear end, the only reason why they embraced it in the 30's and 40's was because it was socialism for white people only the second socialism started to happened for black people (LBJ) they ran as far the gently caress away from it as possible by overwhelmingly electing people like nixon, reagan, HW, W, and trump and  if you don't think they didn't campaign and govern as massive raciststhe sooner people realize that the republican voting base are racists first and everything else second the better

I dunno, at this point the argument is kinda a creepy essentialist view which rejects the idea that working class white people can be non-racist. Like pragmatically the majority are at present, but this poo poo is just naked class hatred and as much a rejection of the working-class movement of the past as the poo poo spewed by Republicans.

I was at a family reunion this weekend and my non-voting and Trump voting relatives both wish they could have voted for Sanders, so yes you can win rural whites with UHC, a higher minimum wage, and free college for their children (so they're not doomed to the mines). Apparently they thought they were getting this with Trump, and felt Clinton talked down to them. The non-voting one said she wouldn't vote for Clinton after she said "she was going to close the mines." They like the idea of closing the mines IF there's work lined up for the miners. Granted, if Sanders had run, his idea of re-training miners would have probably been spun as shutting down the mines too, since they get their news from tv and the local grapevine (they don't do internet). Also, these were Democrats until 2008 because they couldn't handle the idea of a black guy being in charge. This is common in the area.

They like the idea of closing the mines IF there's work lined up for the miners. my general impression is that there was some degree of interplay between racism and feeling betrayed by obama letting off the bankers with huge bonuses instead of actual punishment in the financial crisis, plus the ACA being a lukewarm mess normally i'd say "what came first, the chicken or the egg," but what came first was of course right-wing spin; but the dems still don't understand that they make spinning their poo poo easy as hell and they certainly didn't in 2008

Because Trump promised to do something better than Obamacare, which they took to mean UHC and they have no idea how the government works. They also think judges shouldn't be allowed to overrule the president. Education is really lovely in Appalachia, I've posted about it before.

What's the half-life of Trump voters who are going to die under Trump realizing that they are going to die under Trump? What I mean is: how long will it take 50% of Trump voters who are going to die under Trump to realize it?

I mean yeah, he lied a lot, but come on, he was lying! how the gently caress do you hear all that nonsense and Best Korea posted:Also, these were Democrats until 2008 because they couldn't handle the idea of a black guy being in charge. suddenly this is all starting to make sense.

Trump literally insulted his voters. Sure Hillary had that thinly veiled contempt for the proles or whatever but its just another case of not paying attention to Trump's words. We had TheSuarus, rip in piss, insist Trump was for legal weed while the dude had said literally nothing on the subject.
