America is held hostage by flyover states

Good article


The predominant narrative coming out of the 2016 presidential post-election analysis is: The flyover states have spoken.

A flyover state is the huge region between the coasts. As opposed to the eastern seaboard, northern post-industrial states and Pacific Ocean states. They’re overwhelmingly Republican, stanchly conservative, regressive right wing, evangelical Christian and working class, well, the loudest, most ill-informed of them are. The term wasn’t commonly used in a political manner until recently with the emergence of the Tea Party and the election of Obama.



A visit to Wichita, Kan., isn’t on the bucket list of many Americans. Whereas most travelers fly over Fayetteville, Ark., and Springfield, Mo. They’re not destination spots. The flyover state gripe has nothing to do with the tourist industry of Oklahoma or Nebraska or Iowa. This is about their perceived feelings of abandonment and disrespect from their government. Never mind they’ve elected local, state and national representatives that should reflect their values and interests.
Forsetti’s Justice writes:

“Government has not done enough to help them in many cases but their local and state governments are almost completely Republican and so too are their Representatives and Senators. Instead of holding them accountable, they vote them in over and over and over again.”

America is held hostage by flyover states

The loudest, most ill-informed describes yourself.

Dems are the party of the uneducated. They own the uneducated black and Latino vote.

America is held hostage by flyover states

Blue State governments have the option of passing progressive policies and programs all on their own if they choose to. Nothing in the federal constitution or in the federal lawbooks prevents States from implementing their own Single payer healthcare, or free colleges, or abortion on demand up to 5 seconds before birth.

like democrats dont do the same thing?.....
 
Anthony Bourdain Says Contempt for Middle Americans by ‘Eastern Liberals’ Explains Trump Election

“I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America,” Bourdain continued. “There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good.”

Amen to this. If you hit the wrong button hard enough, especially on a group of people who have not done a thing to those who have hit the button, what do you think is going to happen? The rug will be ripped out from underneath your feet!

God bless you always!!!

This kind of shit here is the true face of being unamerican.

This country isn't about the coastal states nor the middle states, it's about /every/ state, no matter what bullshit your particular geographic area might think of their lifestyle, they are American's. The fact that the left can't understand this simple fact is part of why we're falling apart nationally. They would rather call everyone in the middle stupid than recognize that those states have a different way of thinking, doing, and living. It's disgusting if you ask me.
