I am having a hard time to believe any rural town in America is ass backward than a remote village in Vietnam
I can't imagine that a smaller mom and pop pharmacy / CVS type of store wouldn't have a photocopier that you can use to make copies of things.

Well, I ain’t talkin’ to you no more if’n you like them Kubotas. Dammed unAmerican, I tell ‘ya. Run into a fancy sales rep yammering on ‘bout made in Georgia, he think I don’t know they’s Japanese. (Kidding. Not about the ridiculous portrayal by Harris of rural America, but that Kubota’s aren’t fine tractors. Still, Deere and IH Farmalls are the standard equipment out here.)

Well I tell ya, then sumbitches might be Japanese, but they’s real affordable. Them dadgum Deere’s cost more than my 50 acres, Hoss. I can’t afford no Deere and I sure as heck can’t afford no fancy color-makin picture printin’ bright lights and swishy computer machine!

It's the same play the Democrats made with "Voter ID is racist!!!" They're borrowing from tropes and false generalizations because people like Kamala The Terrible have condescended to actually visit the filthy peasants rural America. There is literally nothing that exists in downtown Los Angeles that you can't also get at the ranch 50 miles from the nearest small town. Hillbillies and Rednecks have just as much access to modern technology as gangbanging thugs in urban areas. And in both cases, rich arrogant snobs like Kamala The Terrible honestly think that the invention of the wheel hasn't quite made it to all of these city-dwelling, and countryside dwelling peasants.

Photocopiers are extremely old technology. There is no corner of this nation that has no access to them.

Nowadays you can use your phone as a scanner and use your email to submit your documents. That’s what I did for my wife when she had to apply for her naturalization paperwork. It’s free and save a few trees

Really, who doesn’t have a scanner/copier/printer and home?

This IS 2021, and flyover country is nothing like she imagines it, apparently.

These politicians aren't stupid, they'll laughing all the way to the bank. They should be getting Oscars for their acting as well. You know as soon as they turn their back to the people they make these asinine remarks to, they have a big smirk on the faces and then the minute they are out of earshot, they are buckling over howling with laughter. They know exactly what people are saying about them - big deal, they're getting what they want which is money and power.

So they keep living the grand life, we keep paying for it and calling them dumb and stupid (I mean seriously even though we know better who can resist) and life goes on and the only real changes I see are the remarks get dumber all the time, the politicians get richer and things seem to get worse all the way around.

The way the dems treat rural people and black folks is just condescending as hell sometimes.
At least rural people are smart enough not to vote Democrat.

I don't know what is taking black people so long to wake the hell up.

Joe Biden said poor people don't know how to use email. Biden said only white people know that technology.
