I loving hate how they try to spin it like something noble. like, he’s trying to play like he basically sacrificed his family for the good of the country instead of him being a racist shithead who doesn’t give that much of a gently caress about his wife.

iowa farmers are screwed more by homegrown seed companies than they are by china, the country that wants to buy the grain they grow and hogs they raise Bernie out there talking about actual issues farmers are boned by, and not the president who is helping the boning. poo poo breaks my brain

Everything they were raised to believe as children MUST be true no matter what. farmers are by far the dumbest variant of the small business tyrant, being the ones that believe all the free market bullshit and voting accordingly despite being wholly subsidized by government policies

At least if they're blaming all of the presidents before Trump they're blaming the Bushes and Reagan too. What's that? Oh...oh I see

quote:“Was it a bad decision for my family? Yes,” he said. “Was it a bad decision for our country? I can’t say. Sometimes you can’t just think about yourself. You have to think about the broader picture.… I feel like God will bless my decision.” "You can't just be all about yourself, sometimes you need to sacrifice some of your own well-being for the common good. From each according to his ability to each according to his---oh god no not that." Incidentally "I can't just selfishly think of my own good, I'm doing what's best for the country" is the excuse every gay rich rear end in a top hat gives for voting to stab our own community in the back in order to save 2% on his taxes or whatever.

It was (past tense - we ended up paying them 7 million bucks with no promises so of course they moved anyway - DEALS!) majority non-white think back to the demographics of the people the media interviewed in their "on the ground" coverage of the situation lol The average resident of what we consider the region to consist of is not a comfortable retiree with a paid off home and a pension. They do not spend hours a day in diners and social clubs, because they're working way too much for way too little and as a result are burning out and hopeless. Darrell is the main target of the centrists lol, they think there's any world where he would vote for somebody over Trump because - despite Darrell saying Trump is perfect and everything he could want - they stupidly persist in thinking that people got "tricked" by Trump and they don't actually want the looting and genocide and fanatical destruction of our children's inheritance

we're probably just a few months away from NPR officially switching over to being 80% uncritical interviews with economically anxious white rural or exurban voters about why they still support Trump these people live in a fantasy world where politics is just team sports and maintenance of the narrative is all that matters. the rust belt must be overwhelmingly white for rhetorical convenience, and thus the coverage ignores all non-white people

I guess filing taxes, waiting until your 21 to vet for your parents and hoping that you make it, or can even afford, to your hearing with an immigration official doesn't count for working for it. Guess my family is the wrong color or should not have crossed some loving line then.
