Small-town America voted heavily in his favor—but the policies he’s pledged won’t reward that faith.

    The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

      They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.

        ‘blame someone else’ has always been a part of the propaganda controlling them. its core to getting them to vote against their own best interests. it will always be someone elses fault

      It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.

        At least they will be feeling the real consequences, regardless of their blindness to the cause, which was their own actions.

        Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.

      All Trump has to do is say it’s the fault of the liberal Democrats trying to destroy this country. They’ll believe it without question.

    His supporters no longer matter to him. They elected him, and now they serve no further purpose, at least not until he realizes that he’s going to need them to be violent on his behalf.

        This one.

        TL;DR: In this article the author explains to us that rural Trump voters have been vilified by untrue stereotypes or assumptions about them perpetuated by urban Democrats, and that of course they must turn to Trump. The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.

        The article probably doesn’t literally get posted every two weeks, but I run across it amazingly often, and somehow no one ever describes it using the second sentence in my summary.

          Read the article, thanks for sharing. “The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.” Is an accurate assessment.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
