    It’s a meme and funny cuz true

    But it is also important to remember that not all trump voters look like this. His reach is so much more insidious

      In fact, thinking that this is what Trump supporters look like is one reason he won. Ignoring his appeal to the working class was a fatal mistake.

      I was just saying this in another thread. It’s a cult, and cults ensnare people of all walks of life, intelligent, educated people as well. The dumb redneck ones may be the drones, but there are others in there that are scarier.

      correct, in my area it is these people, and laborers currently getting ready to lose a bunch of compensation, due to the tariffs their companies are gearing up for. This is probably the first time they have called for cuts, and, instead of just getting record profits, can demonstrate they are going to lose a whole lot of their profit margin. Then there are the far more rare people like a few of the people are here, who are disabled, in poverty, and getting ready to have life saving medicine pulled from them.

      I think the problem is the roads. They’re just too damn wide. Cars just grow proportionately
