Why Rural America Voted for Trump

[sealybobo]

Republicans don't mind forcing us city folk to pay for their sorry asses.

The Broadband Connections for Rural Opportunities Program Act is meant to close the rural digital divide by providing new federal grants for high-speed broadband buildouts to supplement the money already available through the USDA's Rural Utilities Service.

It would also double the RUS broadband program funding to $50 million.

Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) have introduced a bill to boost rural broadband in rural and tribal areas.

Having high-speed broadband is an national infrastructure asset for public services, schools and colleges, businesses, and citizens. Its is for the national good and deserves federal support.

As a liberal I agree but as a con I say fuck those rural fucks. Let them pay out of pocket to lay the wire out to their rural farms. They mock us city folk because we don't live their way of live, well welcome to free market capitalism. Corporations won't pay to lay the pipe or wire because it's not profitable. So these red fucks want us to chip in so they can have high speed? Fuck that!

This is the same reason we came up with the post office, which by the way cons hate that too. But we said, "it's not fair the rural fucks out in BFE have to pay so much to have a mailman deliver mail. So we pooled our resources and spread the cost out so it costs them the same to mail a letter as it does us, even though we are in heavily populated areas. I say again, fuck that. Let them pay $30 to mail a fucking letter. If it's not profitable for the post office to send a mailman out to pick up your fucking letter then lets run the Post Office like a business and charge those cock suckers a lot to pick up their mail. Maybe then they'll get it.

Lighten up with the butt hurt malaka!

I heard this story on NPR this morning and boy did I get pissed. Fuck those people. Pay your own fucking bills. God damn takers. Mooches.

I don't know why we only charge someone who lives 10 miles from the nearest neighbor only 25 cents to send them a damn letter. We should charge them what is profitable. To me it's just amazing to hear Republicans asking for things that aren't constitutional.

But now they will be a lot more liberal with what is and isn't constitutional. For example How Rancho Palos Verdes plans to get in on President Donald Trump’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan

Do you know of any country in the world that has different general postal rates? I realize it is unlikely you are well traveled. I have not.

It's a pretty asinine point regardless.

It is absolutely nonsensical to claim that you are interested in lowering the debt, but your suggestion is to punish others. We all got into this debt, and we're all going to get out. Punishing seniors, rural residents, or ---OMG - conservatives without willing to share in the pain is a childish and immature approach.

Frankly, you need to grow up.

Not really. I think it's a great point. The broadband issue is basically rural folk asking for some help getting their high speed internet. I basically proves you cons get it when it's something you want.

Well pay for it.

And you guys don't even like the post office. So yes, I've heard of postal companies charging diffent rates. They're called ups and fed ex. Well we should privatize internet. People who live in rural areas should pay private companies to lay the pipes. And don't ask for everyone to pay via taxes. Just like you don't want to pay so everyone has insurance, I get along just fine without the internet.

You cons are unbelievable. First you say healthcare isn't a necessity but now internet access is? Go fuck yourselves

Why Rural America Voted for Trump

The New York Times
By ROBERT LEONARD 12 hrs ago

Knoxville, Iowa — One recent morning, I sat near two young men at a coffee shop here whom I’ve known since they were little boys. Now about 18, they pushed away from the table, and one said: “Let’s go to work. Let the liberals sleep in.” The other nodded.

They’re hard workers. As a kid, one washed dishes, took orders and swept the floor at a restaurant. Every summer, the other picked sweet corn by hand at dawn for a farm stand and for grocery stores, and then went to work all day on his parents’ farm. Now one is a welder, and the other is in his first year at a state university on an academic scholarship. They are conservative, believe in hard work, family, the military and cops, and they know that abortion and socialism are evil, that Jesus Christ is our savior, and that Donald J. Trump will be good for America.

They are part of a growing movement in rural America that immerses many young people in a culture — not just conservative news outlets but also home and church environments — that emphasizes contemporary conservative values. It views liberals as loathsome, misinformed and weak, even dangerous.

Who are these rural, red-county people who brought Mr. Trump into power? I’m a native Iowan and reporter in rural Marion County, Iowa. I consider myself fairly liberal. My family has mostly voted Democratic since long before I was born. To be honest, for years, even I have struggled to understand how these conservative friends and neighbors I respect — and at times admire — can think so differently from me, not to mention how over 60 percent of voters in my county could have chosen Mr. Trump.

Political analysts have talked about how ignorance, racism, sexism, nationalism, Islamophobia, economic disenfranchisement and the decline of the middle class contributed to the popularity of Mr. Trump in rural America. But this misses the deeper cultural factors that shape the thinking of the conservatives who live here.

For me, it took a 2015 pre-caucus stop in Pella by J. C. Watts, a Baptist minister raised in the small town of Eufaula, Okla., who was a Republican congressman from 1995 to 2003, to begin to understand my neighbors — and most likely other rural Americans as well.

“The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good,” said Mr. Watts, who was in the area to campaign for Senator Rand Paul. “We are born bad,” he said and added that children did not need to be taught to behave badly — they are born knowing how to do that.

“We teach them how to be good,” he said. “We become good by being reborn — born again.”

He continued: “Democrats believe that we are born good, that we create God, not that he created us. If we are our own God, as the Democrats say, then we need to look at something else to blame when things go wrong — not us.”

...

While many blame poor decisions by Mrs. Clinton for her loss, in an environment like this, the Democratic candidate probably didn’t matter. And the Democratic Party may not for generations to come. The Republican brand is strong in rural America — perhaps even strong enough to withstand a disastrous Trump presidency.

Rural conservatives feel that their world is under siege, and that Democrats are an enemy to be feared and loathed. Given the philosophical premises Mr. Watts presented as the difference between Democrats and Republicans, reconciliation seems a long way off.

What was his point that rural people are hypocrites who won't pay for their own mail or internet?

It's not profitable for a company to run internet out to your farm so you want government to tax us and pay for it.

If you pieces of shit voted democratic I'd want you to have it but now I think you should pay to have the work done yourself.

It's about $10k to hook your farm up with internet. How dare you rural takers come crawling for handouts you want. Pay yourself

Actually, your post #44 brought up the debt - though you had several references prior to that.

That's the thing about stupidity (and lies) - it's hard to keep straight what you said when, and to whom. Your penchant for "bending" the truth is, simply, amateurish.

For me, it took a 2015 pre-caucus stop in Pella by J. C. Watts, a Baptist minister raised in the small town of Eufaula, Okla., who was a Republican congressman from 1995 to 2003, to begin to understand my neighbors — and most likely other rural Americans as well.

“The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good,” said Mr. Watts, who was in the area to campaign for Senator Rand Paul. “We are born bad,” he said and added that children did not need to be taught to behave badly — they are born knowing how to do that.

“We teach them how to be good,” he said. “We become good by being reborn — born again.”

He continued: “Democrats believe that we are born good, that we create God, not that he created us. If we are our own God, as the Democrats say, then we need to look at something else to blame when things go wrong — not us.”

...

While many blame poor decisions by Mrs. Clinton for her loss, in an environment like this, the Democratic candidate probably didn’t matter. And the Democratic Party may not for generations to come. The Republican brand is strong in rural America — perhaps even strong enough to withstand a disastrous Trump presidency.

Rural conservatives feel that their world is under siege, and that Democrats are an enemy to be feared and loathed. Given the philosophical premises Mr. Watts presented as the difference between Democrats and Republicans, reconciliation seems a long way off.

Why Rural America Voted for Trump

Not sure what I like about this thread the most. Your post or how fast and numerous the lefties jumped in here to prove your point.

What was his point that rural people are hypocrites who won't pay for their own mail or internet?

It's not profitable for a company to run internet out to your farm so you want government to tax us and pay for it.

If you pieces of shit voted democratic I'd want you to have it but now I think you should pay to have the work done yourself.

It's about $10k to hook your farm up with internet. How dare you rural takers come crawling for handouts you want. Pay yourself

$10K? What are you doing??? Delivering it in trucks with golden tires???

If you're going to tell lies - and you most certainly do that - the least you could do is sprinkle SOME modicum of truth in the bullshit. (It helps hold it together)

Progressives want everyone to pay for their shit, they want to blame everyone else for the shit they get into, and they want to force everyone to believe what they believe…

As a liberal I agree but as a con I say fuck those rural fucks. Let them pay out of pocket to lay the wire out to their rural farms. They mock us city folk because we don't live their way of live, well welcome to free market capitalism. Corporations won't pay to lay the pipe or wire because it's not profitable. So these red fucks want us to chip in so they can have high speed? Fuck that!

This is the same reason we came up with the post office, which by the way cons hate that too. But we said, "it's not fair the rural fucks out in BFE have to pay so much to have a mailman deliver mail. So we pooled our resources and spread the cost out so it costs them the same to mail a letter as it does us, even though we are in heavily populated areas. I say again, fuck that. Let them pay $30 to mail a fucking letter. If it's not profitable for the post office to send a mailman out to pick up your fucking letter then lets run the Post Office like a business and charge those cock suckers a lot to pick up their mail. Maybe then they'll get it.

What a totally asinine, immature post.

Do you still care about the debt too? You small government types change the second you are in charge

It is absolutely nonsensical to claim that you are interested in lowering the debt, but your suggestion is to punish others. We all got into this debt, and we're all going to get out. Punishing seniors, rural residents, or ---OMG - conservatives without willing to share in the pain is a childish and immature approach.

Frankly, you need to grow up.

That's not even what we're talking about. Run along chimp

Actually, your post #44 brought up the debt - though you had several references prior to that.

That's the thing about stupidity (and lies) - it's hard to keep straight what you said when, and to whom. Your penchant for "bending" the truth is, simply, amateurish.

Your precious little rant was ever so cute ... but it's time for you to back into the basement. Mommy will call you for dinner.

I simply mentioned the debt as an example. Try to address the main point if you can

This is what cons do. Miss the point and laser focus on the irrilivent side note

Why Rural America Voted for Trump

The New York Times
By ROBERT LEONARD 12 hrs ago

Knoxville, Iowa — One recent morning, I sat near two young men at a coffee shop here whom I’ve known since they were little boys. Now about 18, they pushed away from the table, and one said: “Let’s go to work. Let the liberals sleep in.” The other nodded.

They’re hard workers. As a kid, one washed dishes, took orders and swept the floor at a restaurant. Every summer, the other picked sweet corn by hand at dawn for a farm stand and for grocery stores, and then went to work all day on his parents’ farm. Now one is a welder, and the other is in his first year at a state university on an academic scholarship. They are conservative, believe in hard work, family, the military and cops, and they know that abortion and socialism are evil, that Jesus Christ is our savior, and that Donald J. Trump will be good for America.

They are part of a growing movement in rural America that immerses many young people in a culture — not just conservative news outlets but also home and church environments — that emphasizes contemporary conservative values. It views liberals as loathsome, misinformed and weak, even dangerous.

Who are these rural, red-county people who brought Mr. Trump into power? I’m a native Iowan and reporter in rural Marion County, Iowa. I consider myself fairly liberal. My family has mostly voted Democratic since long before I was born. To be honest, for years, even I have struggled to understand how these conservative friends and neighbors I respect — and at times admire — can think so differently from me, not to mention how over 60 percent of voters in my county could have chosen Mr. Trump.

Political analysts have talked about how ignorance, racism, sexism, nationalism, Islamophobia, economic disenfranchisement and the decline of the middle class contributed to the popularity of Mr. Trump in rural America. But this misses the deeper cultural factors that shape the thinking of the conservatives who live here.

For me, it took a 2015 pre-caucus stop in Pella by J. C. Watts, a Baptist minister raised in the small town of Eufaula, Okla., who was a Republican congressman from 1995 to 2003, to begin to understand my neighbors — and most likely other rural Americans as well.

Up here in the northern plains we have Great high-speed Internet… Paid for by oil/coal companies.

Same reason why Rural parts of Afghanistan supports the taliban and Rural Egypt voted for the muslim brotherhood. You're stuck in the far past.

Ignorance! Trump's "poorly educated" cult.

Typical libtart rant, now you're officially a progressive libtart pos...

You believe in the ways of the 18th century. How am I wrong???

I'm gonna go out on a whim and say that rural America is still primarily made up of smart, hard working, proud, REAL American's...you know, the type of American that is fully aware of what made America the greatest country in the world. The type of American who hasn't been infected by MTV, The Kardashians, illegals, criminals, whack-jobs and all the other regressive Libtard culture.

Pretty simple formula, I would say ..... now, if we can just get the unicorns to buy in.
