Do We Disrespect Rural America?

The obvious reason to hack the rural vote is that it typically comes in later, so the people stealing an election can see how far their candidate is behind and then make up the difference. However, when they decided to hack the rural vote, I think they also reasoned that Democratic urban dwellers would buy the lie that people who live in the country are "dumb" enough to fall for Trump.

I don't think rural folks are dumb, and I don't think they voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

I just love how you infants make assertions without proof of any kind.  The short answer?  Yes.  You do and you will never change so, we will vote against you.

1. It's challenging to respect people who do not respect themselves.

Rural areas consistently vote against their own best interests    :yawn: by supporting candidates who do nothing but make their lives more difficult. Rural voters seem to be suffering from sort of massive lack of self-respect or the electoral equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.

Heh ..... wrong.  Next?

4. They are in their own little bubble   :thatsright:

They lack higher education for the most part,  ::) and have little contact with people that are not just like them. I have some understanding of them because I've lived in rural America but they really need to become accustomed to the idea that the world is changing and moving forward instead of thinking they can take us back 70-80 years.

Changing and moving forward =  Free shit. 

Call it what you want, imbeciles.  That's what it always boils down to.  As far as the rest of your unsupportable assertions?

Wrong.  Next?

2. No.

Our rural cousins have way too much power. They are who they are, but when they have over 50X power over my vote, something is wrong.

Yeah.  It's in your head, goof.  50 times the power, huh?

Explain to me:  Chicago?

8. There has always been city slicker/country hayseed tension in this country

that has been unfair to both groups. Yes, rural people tend to be less educated in general, but the successful ones have college degrees in things like soil science and other agricultural fields. Dumb they aint.

I think if you're looking for dumb people who truly did fall for Trump, you'd do better to look in suburbs and exurbs.

Are they now on your list?  They're more educated than you.  Explain?

9. Respect is earned

I live in a semi-rural area and know farmers and ranchers, and lots of their relations who've gone on to other careers. There are many that I respect and trust, but hard work, isolation and bad habits can break people. There's nothing to gain from respecting broken people, especially when they don't know it themselves. Having compassion is a different thing.

You're very stupid.  I congratulate you.  Ooooo.... "broken people".  Huh.   :whatever:

11. This thread is very much like

the bash-the-South threads that used to show up here.

I am a rural American. So is my husband. Many farmers have college degrees. It is not possible to be a successful farmer these days without one. Not all farmers are repubbies, either.

Not everyone out here stopped their education with their high school diploma. We have pharmacists, veterinarians, business owners, nurses, doctors, teachers. Nearly every teacher I know in this area is a Democrat. Not everyone out here is sitting around waiting for trump to hand back an obsolete manufacturing job.

I did quite a bit of canvassing and phone banking in my area. I tabled at a community college. I will tell you what I found in the three county area where I did most of my work: Millenial males were the ones voting for trump. Yes, of course there were others, but that group was the voting block I found most loyal to trump.

I am tired of the ignorance I am reading here. I have seen plenty of loudmouthed rednecks in big cities, too.

You're not following the narrative...........  watch it.

Excellent, AW.
I grew up farming. After HS I went to work in the Power Generation and Distribution fields. Worked with many that had advanced degrees, IEEE fellows and, in general, pretty smart fellas. But there was one thing I noticed early on, and moreso through the years, the advanced degrees and advanced careers tend to stay "in town" at the corporate and engineering offices while us "ignorant, poor, country boys out in the field corrected their mistakes and made the damned things go together and work.

To their credit, the DUmmies seem to have a few (a scant few, but a few) actual wrench-turners and hammer-slingers in their midst.  These tend to be the more sane of those in the asylum, in my observation.  They seem to actually understand that there are real people with dirt under their nails who actually make the country operate.  Mike Rowe Democrats, if you will.

But they're a ludicrously small minority who doubtless get shouted down if they dare poke their head up at all around there.  The rest think that making protest signs and dream-catchers is some sort of money-making venture that is worthwhile and adds value to the nation, as if the dream-catcher is somehow going to heat their home in the winter.


Fools.

The way I see it, as long as they keep thinking like this, it's one more tactical variable we have to our advantage.
All you really have to do is substitute "education" with "indoctrination" and it all falls in line and makes sense. The DUmmies think that going to college actually makes them smart. hahahahah!

OK, just stop right there.  It's always the huge urban precincts that come in last and have the most screwing around with 'Uncounted' ballot boxes mysteriously getting 'Found' when a Republican is winning a close race recount or at the end of election day when all the less-urban districts have been finalized, and have anomalies like zero votes for a GOP national candidate or more votes than registered voters.

I am also amused by the way any place that is not an urban megaplex has suddenly become 'Rural.'

And doubling, nay, TRIPLING down with the hate speech towards rural people is a surefire way to get them to come to your side a*shole.

Remember, THOSE people grow your food, AND they own a significant amount of guns.

But keep up the hate speech, then wonder why you got your asses kicked, again, in '18.

Since some of the DUmmies have never been outside of city limits a day in their life, I'll give my anecdote coming right up after the election.  I drove almost 500 miles in an day, and kept to rural roads and state highways, never touching interstate. 

We made our way through two states, and did not see a single Hillary sign.  Not one.  One of the states I drove through had a hotly contested governor's race, and while I saw a smattering of signs for the democrat governor, ZERO for Hildabeast McCanklefats.  Considering she performed ten points lower than the dem governor (who still lost, I might add), I'd say that's a pretty fair representation.

But hey, if you guys want to keep losing elections, just keep saying all of us rural folk are dumb!

Same here.  One cankles sign.  The home of the local Democrat Committee Chairman.   :lmao:   WHo is a much more lonely guy, these days, as we wiped out two of the few remaining (D)Marxists in the area.  Almost every multi-sign house - very common here - eventually put up a Trump/Pence.  That right there, mirrored the mood perfectly.  They didn't come around, until later on in the run up.

Another thing I noticed was a lack of party identification on the (D)Marxists signs.  A few Republicans did the same, but most had the big elephant, proudly, displayed.

The wife and I put on a lot of miles travelling this last summer. In all of our travels, combined, I think I saw 2 or maybe three signs for cankles. We saw Trump signs EVERYWHERE. Not only were they common, but a lot of them were very obviously hand made, and way bigger than your normal political sign. In fact, We saw more billboard size Trump signs than We saw cankles signs of any kind. Way more.

The (D)Ummies, pre-election,  would say this doesn't mean anything, and then come by to steal or destroy or otherwise remove them later.

Whether OR or ME, how does one do this? I grew up 6 miles from the nearest town, so I'll pass on the dirt road part, but I'd been in Mexico and Canada, and been in OR, WA, and AZ (besides CA, where I was born and grew up) before I turned 18YO.

That's the area where I live.  It wasn't the only billboard in the area, including an anti-Hillary one that made the national news in Waynesville.  Clinton signs and bumperstickers were extremely rare outside the KC and STL metro areas, and everyone was well-behaved toward them, after all, they were more of a curiosity than a threat.  There were no incidents of Trump signs disappearing, partly I suppose because Democrats don't like to get shot. 

The Senate and Governor races looked to be a lot touchier since there was an immense amount spent by the Dems to grab them with national funding, far beyond the primarily in-state and grass-roots fundraising the GOP candidates could access.  The appearance from the publicity was that the Dems were going to breeze into both offices, even though the polling was much closer than the ads would have led anyone to believe.  The GOP took both and the Governor in particular was called pretty early for the Republican.

You are so kind ... the Enviros have been attacking CA farmers for decades, up to and including using government to take their land. CA's Central Valley and several coastal valleys provide food for much of the US and the world. The delta smelt Endangered Species Act fiasco basically took much of the southern half of the Central Valley out of production. Some small towns had unemployment as high as 40% before many of the unemployed migrated elsewhere. Many family farms - about which Libs & Progs profess to care - were driven into bankruptcy, farms that had been run by the same family for multiple generations. As long as the Ds control Sacto and CA has D US Senators, the chances of anything being done to alleviate the Enviros-created disaster are VERY low.

And that is absolute fact. I can name one instance in my local area that cost our county over 1000 jobs and massive tax income. Inheritance tax destroyed the family business and it had to be broken up and sold to pay the penalties of success. They were damn good people too, very charitable, and at the top of their list was promoting local communities.
