Democrats and Rural Voters

Yeah, they were idiots who folded to public pressure and the lies of the Bush administration. Those of us who protested were vilified, but now we know, we were right.

Hindsight is always 20/20, right?

That list is fact.

He said “religion” instead of “Bibles,” but yes, he did, speaking to a largely west coast audience. If you read the whole thread it’s clear that I understood HRC made the deplorable comment. The point of it being that the liberals take a very elitist attitude towards rural and small town America. Thanks for further confirming that point, but the old “racism” shtick is getting a bit old.

Further, not only does the left take an elitist, “we know what you need better than you do” attitude toward rural and small town America, but they demand (by their policies) that we capitulate to their way of thinking, change the way we live, compromise our morals and values concerning certain public policy … just accept what they want and vote the way they want because they know better than the knuckled draggers who live in the flyover states.

The OP has been verified in the responses of those on the left in this very thread, as if those of us in rural areas needed to see such verification. Just look at the responses…rural is equated with uneducated throughout, they’re “voting against their own best interests,” called “stupid voters” and “morons,” then the obligatory “klan meeting” comment. Some things stay pretty much the same.

I make no excuses for my neighbors and fellow conservative, rural voters who have the same dim view of urban citizens … they’re just as perceptively wrong and misguided as the elitist liberals.

Hey LR,

You shared on here you family's Native American background. I'm curious, at your Klan meetings do they know about that or is it something you hide?

Many liberals, like myself, were from small rural communities, so, I find your comment to be wrong, maybe next time you might say, “some liberals” and “some rural voters”.

These rightwing posters are obviously uncomfortable with the fact that back in 2003 they were cheerleaders the war, while virtually every liberal poster, to a man and woman, thought invading Iraq was a dumb and dangerous idea.

way too many Dems supported Iraq.
I was a Dem (Blue Dog) back then - count me out - i wanted no part of those Yellow Ribbon madness

I think she was lying about being an "undecided" voter, and she was planning to vote for Trump all along.

There are plenty of conservatives on this forum who claimed to be dubious about Trump, but that Clinton "forced" them to cast a ballot for Trump in the end.


Trump is just such a sleazebag, such a reprehensible human being nobody outside the hardcore MAGA cult is going to confess being an ardent Trump supporter.

Void argument fallacy. TDS. Omniscience fallacy. You don't get to speak for everyone.

I should have said 'manufacturing jobs'. As your links show, the number of people employed in manufacturing is down. Way down. Some is automation.

I don't know what 'industrial' manufacturing is?

We used to manufacture clothing and electronics here. Are there any numbers that suss out the industries?

Manufacturing is down, for the same reason other business activity is down. We are in an economic depression, caused by fear mongering by Democrats.

We still manufacture clothing in the States, including suits, underwear, socks, shoes, hats, shirts, and coats. A good portion of that industry is located in the Carolina's and in the Pacific Northwest.

Electronics are generally NOT manufactured in the States thanks to ecology laws passed by Democrats. There are NO manufactures of resistors, capacitors, inductors (with very few exceptions), transistors, displays, or chips (with very few exceptions).

We DO manufacture lead acid batteries, and even recycle them very well. All other types of batteries are made offshore.

He's typically much better than that. He must be having a rough day. Sure...if people were butt hurt because Hillary correctly referred to the scum in the MAGA movement, by all means don't vote for her. He was never going to vote for her anyway.

But he then proceeds to parrot verbatim, the crap we've come to expect from Dummkopf, Hannity, and Carlson.

Democrat policies 'demand that he capitulates to their way of thinking'? Is he delusional? Republicans force their way into the bedrooms of the entire nation, be they gay, low income, rural or urban. It isn't Democrats who are banning books.

Democrat policies demand the same rights for everyone. If he's obsessing over the fact that gay people can get married, that's just something he'll have to work out in therapy.

I keep coming back to the statement, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."

The last comment? Or the gist of my … oh, I see now. This: “… liberals take a very elitist attitude towards rural and small town America.” Yes, if that’s the comment then absolutely I should have quantified it with … well, I would have felt more accurate using “many” instead of “some.” ;)
