Give me a break. Ultimately, if you vote to install one of the most leftist members of the House into a position of power as speaker where she (NOT you) would shape policy and determine which legislation comes to the floor, the fact that you are personally more "conservative" than the average Democrat does nothing to save America from the leftist legislation agenda being pushed by your colleagues.
Are you claiming that the GOP was against all these free trade deals?
These anti-worker trade deals were pushed by Wall Street Democrats and Wall Street/Chamber of Commerce Republicans against the will of progressive democrats. Thats just a fact.
Regarding gays, guns and abortion ban. Rural America must also consider whether these issues are so important that they are willing to live in extreme poverty and die a slow death with no health care or paid vacation. Because we must be clear, the war on rural America and working class folks will start and first up is draconian cuts in Medicaid (which of course includes nursing homes) to fund tax breaks for coastal billionaire elites.
And yet, there have been protests and riots because one of these Wall Street/Chamber of Commerce Democrats lost this election fair and square, to someone running against those deals. Everyone knew Hillary's opposition to the TPP was one of those public positions that she didn't mean in private.
Obama didn't do anything to reverse the trend and Hillary wouldn't have either and all evidence points to the democrats as a group doing nothing to regain them but will double down on a platform that has been alienating half the country for decades.
The back lash was simple to explain. When progressives entrenched the idea that a man could be a woman and a woman a man...that there was no such thing as being identified by sex...that men and woman who sat by quietly in fear of political correctness...spoke out and said...no...I am a woman and that over there is a man. People got tired of being redefined ...you mess with their money...they get pissed...you mess with their sex and they get quietly livid.
The left goes back and forth between a denial of their failure, and disgust at everyone else they can blame for it. It could not possibly be because of anything they might have done or failed to do. And they claim to be the uber intelligent?
As flyover America has been suffering economically for many years, these Americans were immune to the oligarchy’s anti-Trump propaganda.
I know a lot of people in rural North Carolina. That assessment is spot on.
I'm IN Rural North Carolina. And you are right.
