People Get Bitter But They Don’t “Cling”
Obama implied that rural people wouldn’t need Christianity or would abandon hunting if only they received more attention from the government. It defines rural voters as little more than needy children lacking the guidance of enlightened leaders like himself. He argues that the proletarians need an enlightened vanguard to lead them away from superstition and primitivism. If only he were allowed to assume a role as national leader, rural voters would abandon their false consciousness and no longer need to cling to Jesus and the 2nd Amendment. They would have Obama! This isn’t elitism, it is a textbook example of the vanguard party concept of Marxist/Leninism.
