People just need someone to loving hate, and the right provides them with that

We're not THAT far removed from mine owners being drug out of their homes and lynched in WV

A lot of this country would be perfectly fine hating whatever stereotype of affluent aloof millionaire they prefer but right now the left is all about basically being worthless and offering "sensible compromise" on account of being controlled opposition for the Nazis

this is the one thing bernie got right that even most other good progressive dems dont, he points loudly and angrily at the billionaires as an enemy to be hated.

its pretty elitist of you to assume the people of alabama are being exploited by new york. alabamans consistently elect politicians who proudly run on making alabama the toilet of the world. they can't have their poo poo and eat it too

alabamans brainwashed by rightwing media almost exclusively created in new york and california to vote in politicians who gut regulations so they can be more easily exploited by wall street

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.

in a very white man voice, “actually all the issues in the south are economic at their core and century old cultural racism has nothing to do with it.”

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.

these people want guest workers because they have absolute power over them and can get them deported at any point. hire american workers with actual labor rights they might end up demanding better conditions and pay.

Typo posted:

rural whites liked third way Democrats because third-way Democrats framed their welfare reforms as punishing the "lazy" and rewarding the "hard-working". The whole point of welfare reform was to link government assistance to work to appease racial resentment on the part of rural whites who saw welfare as rewarding Cadillac driving welfare queens. Rural white America hates the "unvirtuous" poor below them as much as the coastal elites above them.

bill clinton was popular in rural america, and continued to be all the way up to maybe 2016 if not today. Rural America is not some hotspring of leftism just waiting for a socialist savior to come along.

Creating an ‘other’ to rile up people with, and give a target for them to hate, is how fascists like the orange menace get into office. If you’re preaching hate against any generalized group of people, you are othering them. You call them billionaires, modern Israel calls them Palestinians, the nazis called them Jews, the kkk calls them a word I won’t repeat, but they are always ‘the other’.

Riling up a mob to lynch people will not get you a socialist utopia, it will just get you another Stalin.
