Hi sweet Wendy ❤️ We saw a family living in a school bus. It was covered with Trump’s face all over it. I just shook my head. He has even said people who live like this is trash. Yet, they love him. Bunch of morons.
I live in a rural area, replete with Trump supporters like that. They live in hovels & shacks, covering up their yards with Trump campaign paraphernalia. It makes zero sense. Aside from "owning the libs", what is the product of their support for him & the GOP? Certainly doesn't benefit them at all.
I'm currently reading, "White Rural Rage", which deals precisely with this topic. I'm posting salient quotes and observations in this thread, if you want to follow along: bsky.app/profile/levi...
“Name a force or impulse that threatens the stability of the American political system—distrust in the fairness of elections, conspiracy theorizing, the embrace of authoritarianism—and it is almost always more prevalent among rural Whites than among those living elsewhere.” - from “White Rural Rage”
