The Heartland’s problems have all, without exception, been inflicted on them by Republican policies, and not as side effects or unintended consequences, either, but as the intended results. Democrats have fought tooth and nail against all these things and been rewarded with scorn, insults, and accusations of treason and being actual demons. How long can you keep reaching out a hand if you get bitten every time? These morons will crawl over broken glass to vote for the people who despise them and have inflicted all their suffering on them. My sympathy is very limited…oh hell, it’s non-existent.
