A Princeton sociologist spent 8 years asking rural Americans why they’re so pissed off

[Aldo Raine]

It is real easy, he is a despicable human being!

What specifically did Trump do to make you angry?

Pretty much everything about him. You do know he is a liberal at heart don't you?

You can't name a one specific thing, yet he makes you angry?

Ok the great health care he promised cheaper and better.
Mexico paying for wall and liking it.
Tax cuts for uber wealthy and corporations while expanding their expenditures and eliminating ours. My taxes will go up 17.4%.
Giving us dirtier air and water.
Rolling bank Dodd-Frank to help insure another banking crisses.

Ok the great health care he promised cheaper and better.
I'm just about as pissed off by this as anyone. At almost retirement age and having paid for health insurance for my family for years, it was stunning how much my cost have gone up since the establishment of the ACA (Obamacare.) Now that my kids have moved out, yet are still single, except one, I still have to pay an absolute ass load of money. My oldest will fall off this coming September, he will turn 28,yet my cost will not go down any... still have to pay for the entire family right now. Hopefully the repel of the mandates will have a small, yet positive, effect on my monthly cost.
Oh, and the whole thing of "if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor" thing was a load of crap. I have not seen the same doctor twice in a row since 2013. The clinic I went to was great, up until that point, but skyrocketing cost, and availability of in network clinics keep shrinking, and my insurance keeps reassigning me to a new primary care provider.
The unintended consequences of "doing something" instead of "doing something the right way" has really put a strain on my family and me. Every time I hear "We gotta pass the bill to see whats in it" burns my ass worse than the standard 3 foot flame. Don't get me wrong, Republicans had 7 friggin years to come up with a workable alternative, and didn't do it, so they aren't off the hook either. The whole system is corrupt and needs to be burnt to the ground, and then the ashes fed into a plasma burner to cleanse it even further. To lay the blame at Trump's feet is fair, I guess, but his first 4 years aren't up yet, so maybe, hopefully, he can get folks together and come up with something fair to us all.
Mexico paying for wall and liking it.
I should stay away from this one, but I won't. Mexico will never "like" paying for the wall, however, I don't think any reasonable person out there honestly thinks there is a way to do it. Not to say he won't try, The Bottom line here is; something has to be done about illegal immigration. My personal opinion is we need more man power, I haven't done the math, however I'm betting manpower vs an actual wall would be less expensive in the long run.
Hyperbole, thy name is "The Wall."
Tax cuts for uber wealthy and corporations while expanding their expenditures and eliminating ours. My taxes will go up 17.4%.
Really? You must be making some bank!
Otherwise, I'm gonna have to throw the Bullshit flag on this one and penalize you 15 yards for typing utter crap
Giving us dirtier air and water.
Not so much. His EO's have taken out of play the more restrictive, unnecessary regulations put in place by an over reaching administration. Folks that are doing dirty to mother nature still have to clean up after themselves, close up pit mines, plant native trees and grasses when done. Frackers are still held responsible if they do something wrong and get their chemicals into ground water, they still have to clean it up and make it right.
Rolling bank Dodd-Frank to help insure another banking crisses,
Have you read Dodd-Frank? the very basic break down goes like this:
Banks "To Big To Fail" (FU BUSH!!) have to keep on hand larger reserves (capital) to cover accounts on hand and investments must be in "easily liquidated" assets in case of a run on banks. So, banks must have so much cash, and government securities......
Then, when the banks are handed 700 some odd billions of taxpayer dollars, as a "stimulus" (hahahahahahahaha) what do the banks do with it? Give ousted CEO's multi-million dollar severances, and store the rest to build up their cash reserves.
Only after those severance packages came out did the gubmint do anything..... once again, too little too late.... those unintended consequences once again. Damn, if only someone would have seen through what would happen to the money back in 2008.... Oh wait.
"The White House will call this a victory," said then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). "But as credit tightens, regulations multiply, and job creation slows even further as a result of this bill, they'll have a hard time convincing the American people that this is a victory for them." -Friggin Mitch McConnell (probably the only thing he got right in 10 years)
When you stifle cash, and make it hard to get a loan, the economy isn't going to grow much. You not only make it hard for Joe Average to get a loan, you make it hard for small business' to get loans which, more often than not, creates a smaller jobs market, which in turn leads to higher un-employment, which leads to higher taxes for those actually earning a living, etc etc etc.... I will say one good thing about Dodd Frank is the whistle blower protections, that being said, I personally think that could have been done separately, and in a much better manner to insure those that do so, aren't black listed, or have any sort of retaliation come back on them... whatsoever.

To lay all your issues at the feet of a duly elected President is hogwash. What Trump managed to do, and lets face it, he was the lamb being led to slaughter by the Republicans in the face of the Clinton machine.... Any who, he beat both sides at their own game, and yet all he gets from the MSM is hate, rancor, and charges of racism. When in fact, he is merit based and expects results.
But whatever, hold onto your hate for him.....

Not a fan of ACA but it is here for now. Orange said gonna be great and cheap. Nope!

Mexico

We agree, I think. Wall stupid, let's enforce current laws AND add manpower and pay to border.

Taxes

Not even close to wealthy but since I now cannot write off my 30,000 miles of year travelling for work or food, or hotel, or clothes, or well you get the picture.

Environment

Sorry bro we break wide here, I like clean air and water and my kids and grandkids do as well!

Dodd-Frank

Yup I know about the parties they had with the money given to them and yup pissed to. Do not think pulling regulations off of them so they can do it again is wise though. Maybe Rump wants to butter their balls though so they may lend him more money that he won't pay back again, hard to say!

Doubly so when even preliminary research into possible consequences isn't factored in.

 

[undertherqadar]

You had to know that a Princeton Turd was going to come up with some Bullshit he already believed before he went on his Bullshit eight year tour.

He should have just read what Thomas Jefferson had to say: That the the huge congested rotting cities now being invaded by a Mexican and Muslim hoard were the greatest threat to the great experiment Jefferson and his fellow founding fathers set in motion....which has been the greatest in the human history.

Heartland America is watching Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco turn into Socialist Cesspools and spew their cancer around to the rest of the country.....turning it into a budding Venezuela.

And a fucking Princeton Professor can't understand why Jeffersonians all across America are pissed. Who is surprised?

You cannot continue to think backwards forever.

Nobody has to accept your version of "progress". Nobody has to agree that Adam can marry Steve if he wants too. Nobody has to agree that a woman can kill her "baby" anytime before it comes through the door.

My oldest step son is a millennial and he embraces agriculture more than anyone in the family, expect our new son-in-law who owns part of a 1,500 acre farming operation. I recently read about a housing development that has a very large garden area millennials are enjoying.

That is hopeful...it will be their future....I know people dis millinnials a lot, but there is a lot of hope there. Are you from a farming family?

When millennials discover tax and spend politicians spent all their money and stuck them with trillions of debt all hell will break loose.

The current huge increase in debt is...Trump. Not good.

How did Obama leave us?

Not a justification for Trump but a call for same standards.

Obama was president during the worst recession since the Great Depression and pulled us out, and I think that situation makes it extremely difficult to address debt. Wouldn't you think? That is actually a time when you need more government spending as I understand it economics (which I admit often seems like witchcraft) When the economy is doing good - that is when to cut spending. But it isn't happening. Instead, we cut, hugely, revenue with the tax bill...I am concerned where that will leave us. And I'm concerned that there doesn't seem to be any concern. I usually trust the Republicans to balance the Dems desire to spend more with their desire to cut spending. Ain't happening...

to a degree, i agree. but regardless of the reasons both sides are continuing to put us deeper into debt.

People aren’t angry about Trump. Just disappointed. It’s a sad day for the world when an American President is beholding to the Russians and lets Putin screw over your country and your people at will.

Still not one word out his mouth against Putin. Lots of bile at the FBI.

Robert Wuthnow, a sociologist at Princeton University, spent eight years interviewing Americans in small towns across the country. He had one goal: to understand why rural America is so angry with Washington.

"Wuthnow’s work resulted in a new book, The Left Behind: Decline and Rage in Rural America. He argues that rural Americans are less concerned about economic issues and more concerned about Washington threatening the social fabric of small towns and causing a “moral decline” in the country as a whole. The problem, though, is that it’s never quite clear what that means or how Washington is responsible for it."

And this is where he gets to the root
Sean Illing
"I guess I just don’t know how to respond to these sorts of complaints. Yes, the world has changed; it’s always changing. And I understand the sense of loss some people feel because of that, but at some point, we have to acknowledge that culture evolves and stop trying to unwind the historical clock."

They have been fighting cultural changes they already lost, then trump comes along and assures them he alone will turn back the clock and bring back their 1950's world of minorities and women knowing their places and then sells them MAGA hats




A Princeton sociologist spent 8 years asking rural Americans why they’re so pissed off

They are upset over moral decline??????????

So they elect the LEAST moral person in America to be president and to be their role model?

I don't quite know what to say.

He probably felt pretty safe in rural towns across the country. I wonder if he would be around today if he spent 8 years interviewing pissed off city folks. It should be noted that his research was done during the stagnant Hussein years when democrats promised to eliminate the jobs of put rural folks who worked in mining country.

Robert Wuthnow, a sociologist at Princeton University, spent eight years interviewing Americans in small towns across the country. He had one goal: to understand why rural America is so angry with Washington.

"Wuthnow’s work resulted in a new book, The Left Behind: Decline and Rage in Rural America. He argues that rural Americans are less concerned about economic issues and more concerned about Washington threatening the social fabric of small towns and causing a “moral decline” in the country as a whole. The problem, though, is that it’s never quite clear what that means or how Washington is responsible for it."

And this is where he gets to the root

"I guess I just don’t know how to respond to these sorts of complaints. Yes, the world has changed; it’s always changing. And I understand the sense of loss some people feel because of that, but at some point, we have to acknowledge that culture evolves and stop trying to unwind the historical clock."

They have been fighting cultural changes they already lost, then trump comes along and assures them he alone will turn back the clock and bring back their 1950's world of minorities and women knowing their places and then sells them MAGA hats

It's a problem.

People are often angry but don't understand why. Others tell them why, but they're not telling them the truth. They believe this lie and then they can't turn back from it because that would be to admit they're stupid or something.

Self reflection?

Do you have anything to offer this conversation?

Just another bs story/excuse why Hillary lost the election

You had to know that a Princeton Turd was going to come up with some Bullshit he already believed before he went on his Bullshit eight year tour.

He should have just read what Thomas Jefferson had to say: That the the huge congested rotting cities now being invaded by a Mexican and Muslim hoard were the greatest threat to the great experiment Jefferson and his fellow founding fathers set in motion....which has been the greatest in the human history.

Heartland America is watching Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco turn into Socialist Cesspools and spew their cancer around to the rest of the country.....turning it into a budding Venezuela.

And a fucking Princeton Professor can't understand why Jeffersonians all across America are pissed. Who is surprised?

You cannot continue to think backwards forever.

Nobody has to accept your version of "progress". Nobody has to agree that Adam can marry Steve if he wants too. Nobody has to agree that a woman can kill her "baby" anytime before it comes through the door.

the old geezers lost the culture wars, their time has past

LOL
Republicans have controlled local and state legislatures as well as governships for a long time
We’ve controlled congress for a long time and not that long ago took over the senate
So all of the sudden as if out of no where a Republican wins the White House and its stranger than fiction
So this stoopid ass liberal comes up with this so called educated idea that us out in fly over country are just dumb sons a bitches and we’re angry.
He had a preconceived idea and made sure his shithesis conformed to it
His diatribe is no different than your post or any other libs post on this forum
That you’re some how mentally superior to the rest of us farm boys
This guy and Hillary should rent a room
