The working class in many rust belt cities and rural areas are hurting bad. They have regressed in terms of lifespan, health, alcoholism, drug addiction, and disease. This all comes from one source: lack of jobs.
You have one party telling them "You are are racist and deserve what you get. Pound salt, cracker. And btw, vote for me." Great way to get votes.
You have the other party telling them ridiculous fairy tales about bringing back the jobs.
Who are they gonna vote for? Whoever is offering them a chance, however illusory. The GOP continues to win these battles, not because they are good. They are not. They win these battles due to the ongoing failure of the Democrats.
They are hurting because they don't change. They don't adapt. What do they expect? Oil and horrible dirty coal jobs were going to last forever? They need to go where the jobs are. people who don't adapt to the changing world will struggle. THis is why they are struggling. And what the hell does republicans offer? They thumb their nose at people making min wage that are unskilled. But many of the coal/manufacturing/oil jobs are unskilled as well.
The GOP are so full of shit. They just play into the hands of these people's fear and ignorance. They have nothing of substance. Name me one thing they did during Obama admin towards jobs? nothing. They rejected everything. All they did was pass abortion laws. They don't offer anything to these people. Education, nope, sorry, you're on your own. Better pay, nope sorry. More vacation? nope, sorry. Better healthcare for your black lung disease from working in the mines, nope, sorry, you are on your own. No, they offer tax breaks to companies that just pocket the money, giving them more power to exploit workers.
And I'm sorry, you are completely making up what democrats were saying. That's what happens when you don't listen and you get all your so called "facts' but through the right wing spin machine. What was Trump saying that was positive" OMG, this country is the worst, if you don't vote for me illegals and muslims will kill you" NO plans what so ever. He still has no plans.
He's not going to do shit for them, and many of th
I'm sorry, but I don't want the democrats to become scumbags like republicans and play down to dumb people. All we need to do is get more people to vote, and the current crop of republicans don't stand a chance. And that's not be dumbing shit down and being fear mongering, do nothing, my only concern is reelection, like the republicans currently are.
