re: #275 Blind Frog Belly White

There’s a lot of irony here, like these folks are quick to bitch about other people being ‘entitled’, but they feel they are entitled to a good job in their hometowns.

And they see themselves as the ‘REAL Americans’, whereas the ones they deride as ‘snowflakes’ are much more likely to have left their homes behind to make a better life for themselves - you know, kinda like the folks who built America?

But leaving aside kicking people while they’re down for just a moment, think about it - a lot of these folks saw the factories leaving and hunkered down, staying put as their prospects dwindled and with them their bank accounts and their home values. Trump told them he’d make it all better and in their desperation, they believed him.

Now he tells them their hometowns are dead, and they should all move.

The lack of departures can be seen as a Darwinian filter. Those who could discern the facts got out long ago. Those who remain got caught in the filter, and are still caught..
