I live in a deep red part of a state. When you go to the food bank, you see quite a few MAGA hats displayed. In a blue saturated area, I am sure that an abscents of MAGA hats.
i dont visit food banks so we’ll have to take your word for that
its a sad truism that we cant throw rocks at democrats without hitting some republicans
I know that in rural parts of red states a lot of white girls on meth get pregnant and on welfare
but every time I suggest ending welfare and forcing welfare bums to get clean and reform their lives its liberals and minorities who object
Is it the Liberals that you only hear or the lack of enthusiasm that the Party of the Rump displays? In the south (and I am including West Virginia) the majority of the voters at the polls vote republican yet they have the highest per capita of welfare recipients. You can put all the blame on the Liberals but I suggest you take a really good look at the "Party of the Rump". Notice, I didn't say "Conservatives". These people are looking for a savior and Rump presents himself as that savior. In the end, the only thing they will have is that hope.
The problem is, both sides want to find someone to place blame rather than accept responsibility for themselves. It's an age old process. If you follow history, you will find that the Brown People were once used to hide the fact that Hoover and his bunch were woefully running the nation into the ground. They blamed all the ills on the Mexicans. Even Puerto Ricans. At that time Puerto Rica did not have US Citizenship since it was a Possession and the laws protecting them weren't passed yet. They were rounded up in the hundreds and put on boats and ships and dumped just across the border. Even naturalized citizens got caught up in the process. Then the deep part of the Depression hit and Hoover and his bunch could no longer hide the fact just how destructive they were. Hoover and his bunch went from Saviors to what they really were at that point.
Then there was the "Red Scare" of 1917 where the same bunch went on the witch hunt for "Communists" due to the Bolshevik Revolution. Then the second "Red Scare" in 1953. We are nearing the end of the 3rd "Red Scare" done by pretty much the same type of people.
There isn't a whole lot of truth in any of it but it gets people elected or allows people that otherwise would be run out of town on a rail to stay in power. What's sad is, it's the same old crap over and over and it's extremely effective.
I don't fear Conservatives. I would like to see the Conservatives back in power for a 4 year period. As in the Fiscal Conservatives. Imagine a balanced budget for a change with cuts in the right places in the Federal Government. The Things that claim to be Conservatives right now aren't conservatives at all. The Party of the Rump has more in common with the Green Party with the conservation thrown out the window. It's easier to find someone else to blame than fix the problems since they have no real idea what the problems are much less how to fix them. The Berniemaniacs aren't much different. It's just the two sides of the same coin.
I push the 1956 Republican Platform when Republicans were Fiscal Conservatives and really did care about ALL Americans. But since that time, there has been no real Conservatives in power. And the Democrats of the 50s were also in tune with Americans with Truman. But sometime in the 60s, both parties went to hell in a hand basket and sold their souls to two groups of old white men who really run everything from a back room.
