I agree, Flint Michigan deserves to have lead water

the pols who screwed over flint did it bc they knew the ppl of flint already weren't voting for them either way, and they correctly understood that the ppl who do vote for them dgaf about what happens to flint

the pols who made poop train possible did it even though pooptown *is* their constituency, bc they correctly assume pooptown will still vote for them anyway when all is said and done.

when the scope of the problem in flint became known, the residents correctly placed the blame on the state-level GOP and came together in grassroots action and protest

when the poop train had idled in pooptown long enough to attract national press coverage the residents gave interviews directing their impotent anger at new york for sending their poop down to alabama, instead of the constructive anger directed at state and local politicians who choose to allow new york poop to be dumped in alabama

your explanation for the way red states vote begins and ends at "right-wing media brainwashing". but then, why is it so much more effective in rural and southern region? is it a question of education? culture? innate intelligence? ethnic homogeneity? historical circumstances? if they're being consistently tricked for 40+ years then there's gotta be something to explain it, right?

you are embodying the caricature that red staters have of outsiders who think they're all just too stupid to vote the correct way. it's not a convincing argument, bc it refuses to acknowledge their own, non-economic motivations for the way they vote. i don't think they're too stupid-- i think they're a mixture of too prideful, too scared of change, and too bigoted. and while they wouldn't agree with my analysis, they frequently claim to vote in support of abstract non-economic values of heritage, traditional values, and "freedom" that, subject to interpretation, can be understood as fig leaves to excuse the list of moral failures i just gave.

again, the poop train only got fixed when the story went national and embarrassed them. wallowing in poo poo for a month wasn't fun but being laughed at for it was completely intolerable. that says something key about local priorities that has very little to do with right-wing media, and shows that ridicule, not sympathy, can actually motivate positive change

my dude i live in rural texas, im well aware of what "red staters" think. the south is easier to for capital to divide and conquer because of its racial history and animosity, im not denying that in any way. but ultimately that is what it is, manipulated by southern elites and capital to divide and conquer the working and middle classes, same as its always been. libs mocking and attacking the people who buy into it, instead of trying to appeal to our common interests against the rich and powerful, is just an entrenchment of that culture war that in the end only benefits capital.

the driving force of all history is class conflict. the root of southern racism is entirely economic. it was brought into existence, maintained and continued for economic reasons. it has existed for centuries and been embedded in american culture for so long that is has superseded raw economics, of course, and it cannot only be solved with only economics.

also one major difference between flint's water crisis and the poop train is that lead in the water is deadly whereas, bleed though my heart does for the rural alabamians, it's hard as hell to die of a poop stink overdose

also it's objectively funny to think of a train filled with poop being an actual thing that exists

I take it the poo in question can't be used as fertilizer? Or just dig a massive pit to bury it in? Or light the poo on fire (what are you going to do, complain about the smell of burning poo after complaining about the smell of fermenting poo)?

It is apparently being sent to Alabama to be turned into fertiliser. In this case the intended destination was sick of the smell of poop while the train is being unloaded, and banned poop trains from entering the county. The train therefore stopped in the village before said county, stinking out the village of Parrish.

White, college educated men and women both broke for Trump.

Average income was higher among Trump voters.

"The system is oppressing Republicans into being awful garbage people" is even more naive a position than "white people are racists"

y'all hear about the morally bankrupt millionaire businessman named donald running a self-funded campaign in GOP primaries? his pro-coal, anti-obama anti-hillary message is gaining traction in west virginia as his milquetoast establishment republican competitors are focused on tearing one another down

Don Blankenship went to prison after the deaths of 29 of his miners. For some Republicans, that’s the beginning of a successful Senate campaign.
