re: #236 DaddyG

There is a big part of me that suspects the real dissatisfaction in American politics is with the “elite classes” that feel they can dictate to the flyover country. The socons will be swept from power quickly if they act as though the American people want their flavor of authoritarianism to replace a more liberal flavor of authoritarianism.

I’ll just ignore the “elitist” meme, exept to say it’s precisely the reverse that is true, no matter what GOP voters in Kansas thing

Flyover states have more influence per capita( nebraska gets two senators, California gets two senators) get more subsidies (FARMS WHEE!) and have a disproportionate influence overall, because their states are more often battleground states

So the fact that anyone in those states feels they’re being dictated to makes me giggle
