Gurl...... coal killed itself as employment peaked under the Bush Jr administration.
Nope. The problem is the deplorables aren't smart, but emotional. Once their medicaid, medicare, and other benefits are slashed they'll get emotional again and do something stupid. It's just history dude, that pendulum swings back and forth...... those deplorables better produce some results sooner than later or they'll be marginalized even further.
Let's change deplorables to the n word in your post. I think you're ready for a hood.

You're coming across as the alt left kind of "deplorable". Many people flipped out when Hillary lost last year; to the point that some of their kind were threatening violence in the streets.
I'm not very happy with Trump, as a citizen of rural America.
I guess us rural people should just get over it and expect that no one care about our plight. Once a politician gets elected they forget that rural people exist. It's not a Trump thing, or a Republican thing, a Clinton thing, or a Democrat thing, it's a politician thing.
I don't think Clinton would have done anything for rural people, when she campaigned she only did so in big cities. She didn't really care about rural people either.
Rural America just needs Jobs, Healthcare, and better trade deals. Maybe even better care for our elderly citizens but that's probably to much to ask from the government.
Hillary Clinton would not have taken away your healthcare to give a massive tax cut to the ultra rich.
She would not have threatened Medicare or Social Security.
I don't know how jobs can ever come back to some rural areas, trade deals or not.
No, no, and no. They were not "conned". Rural whites let racism and hatred drive them to vote for Trump.
Quite frankly, their frowns make me smile.
I'm not sure if either of these comments are sarcasm or serious. If the first is serious then that can be easily explained. A rural poor white has not much more than a bucket to **** in, yes. But, they are higher in status than the blacks or so they thought. Obama becomes President and they suddenly realize that they are the really the bottom of the barrel in society and always have been. They lash out. Not so shocking.
As for sticking it to the 'Liberals and Media,' WHAT. It is like you're house is burning down around you and you vote to have lighter fluid rain down on your roof because you think the fire will then jump to your neighbor - not realizing that you are destroying your own home to destroy your neighbors. Furthermore, your neighbor can re-build. YOU cannot.
Severely wrong. This ain't the 1950's anymore. So you think the average rural American in flyover country cares more about banning abortion than agriculture?
Do you people even pay attention to the nonsense you type?
Not wrong. Try reading, "What's the Matter With Kansas: - How Conservatives Won the Heart of America". Further more, you don't realize that the Oklahoma Legislature takes the issue of trying to ban abortion more seriously than trying to arrive at a budget before the session must soon end.

What's the difference between s poor rural white and a poor city dwelling white in the Midwest? Because you sure do hate one of them don't you?

Probably not much. The city dwelling one would be exposed to more and probably less likely to call Obama 'the Kenyan" or much worse. What makes you think I hate anyone here??? Explanations do not mean hatred. Maybe you can explain your definition of hatred.
But it takes tax dollars to build more prisons to put people in so as to be tough on crime. The problem with they viewpoint is that people who hold them have no idea where those tax dollars are coming from. Do they support raising taxes for that. NO! So once again where is the money coming from?
Actually many of them will wind up in private, for profit prisons and the longer they are there the bigger the payoff for those who own the prisons.
It is the federal government that foots the bill since these are federal prisons but inmates must pay for so many things and they can wind up in debt for thousands of dollars when the get out.
