re: #233 HappyWarrior
I am so fucking sick of conservative hypocrisy on this bullshit. They love to accuse Dems and Liberals of âlooking downâ on so called flyover country and the heartland but here they are looking over two states that as you say make up 20% of our population but also play a big role in our economy as well. Itâs so fucking stupid.
Bear in mind that half of âflyover countryâ talks shit about, and down to, the other half of âflyover countryâ even as they fuss about being condescended to by âcoastal elites.â Itâs not like the âvaluesâ-having people stint themselves on labelling their neighbors trash (for various reasons) and moochers (because in the post-Reagan era thereâs always somebody thatâs the scapegoat for bad budgeting). Or the suburban white collar folks actually respect the remaining rural folks (that actually do farm labor, not cosplay with a large truck). And thatâs not even getting into the regional stuff. I have people literally just across a river thatâs a state border who think theyâre somehow better than me.
Iâve watched this in my part of Kentucky forâŚ26 years.
