Bidens Gesetz für saubere Energie hat diese rote Ecke Georgias wiederbelebt. Die Wähler dort unterstützen Trump ohnehin

Well, obviously critical thinking is not a requirement to live in that red corner of Georgia.

Hate is, apparently more important to them than a good paying job.

More often than not, it comes down to education. We need a country where critical thinking is taught everywhere, where the scientific method is a foundation and not a theory. Georgia, by and large, isn’t there yet. And it is well documented that the gop tries to attack education at every level, tries to demean and insult education and push conspiracies. Until and unless these people are allowed to erode rational and free thought, democracy will struggle all the more.

This particular red corner of Georgia has some weird demographics when compared to the rest of the state:
– lower educational attainment
– lower median income
– younger median age
– higher poverty rate
– significantly higher property crime rate

weird.

Southerners are such pieces of shit on average. For nearly 200 years they’ve been causing nothing but issues for this country.

Put one of those I did that stickers next to their town. Then they’ll understand

This is incredibly sad. That people can get retrained, have their local economy bright back to life, and still fight for a candidate who would not only not have done anything for them if he was in office but will reverse what’s happening if he gets back there. In the words of Mr. T “I pity the fool”.

Identity politics is stronger than economic interest. In the UK, the auto workers at Nissan Sunderland mostly voted for Brexit, a decision which continues to threaten their jobs.

If you know a MAGAt, you know a moron.

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the [south]. You know… morons.

Cults gonna cult.

Because Biden doesn’t have a 24/7 propaganda channel feeding those people lies.

This is why I hate a statement I hear often from both rural people and progressives at large – that if Democrats would just actually do things to appeal to rural voters, they’d do better.

No, that’s clearly not true. Democrats already DO appeal to rural voters with their policies. And rural voters constantly punish them for it anyway.

I’m from rural Upstate NY. Ppl have constant complaints about statewide Democratic policies while also completely ignoring how much their lives would be worse under Republican control. People in my area have a higher min wage, lower (bracketed) income taxes, strong state-level child tax and earned income credits, better access to food stamps and WIC, and extremely importantly… expanded Medicaid. All things that disproportionately help rural NYers. Literally over HALF of the families in my hometown benefit from all of these policies because we live in a blue state, yet they still vote strongly red and complain about NYC (which most have never even been to). Where do you think the tax dollars for your Medicaid is coming from? Because it’s not coming from any of the North Country counties.

Edit: I just want to add for anyone not from NY who might recognize this name… This is the federal House District currently held by Elise Stefanik. She wins elections here by a safe margin.

I live in the blue ridge mountains of North Georgia and I can tell you with certainty that the kids are on track to be just like their parents. Religious, gun loving, Republican and low educated. It’s a source of pride around here to not be like city people and stay exactly the same as the generation before.

And? Coal workers are still voting Trump because his promise to revive the mines might happen THIS time!

Because the south really is that fucking stupid.
