Rural America had no capability to buy anything, and it’s not just ruralists complicit in his second term. Not by a long stretch. 

"Not just?"  Of course not.  Did they make up a material part of his support, because they voted for him at like an 80% clip?  You bet your fucking ass.

They stood at the counter chanting "SHIT SANDWICH!  SHIT SANDWICH!"  They ordered it.  They fucking DEMANDED it.  Now they gotta eat it.

Rural vs Urban is one of the single biggest correlations, that and educated vs uneducated.

 

That said... also fuck the suburban vote.

I’ve said the following many times before on shaggy. You can reasonably predict the behavior of people and the outcome of situations by knowing the single most important life motivator for a person. 

With Trump it’s become pretty clear. He strives for as much money and stature as possible, that he can then demonstrate to the world, because he believes that will make up for his father’s enormous disappointment in him.

So he can be easily manipulated as long as it results in the maximum amount of money to him and strong stature. 

But with Elon I’m still not quite 100% sure. Is it to be massively richer than anyone on the planet, and he will go to any extreme to do it? Is it to be the most famous person in the world? Or is it something else?

If Elon’s goals don’t align with Trump’s desire for massive wealth and stature, I could see Trump actually just pushing him out of the way at the appropriate time, with Elon left holding his dick in his hands. 
But most likely this is a massive play by both to grift massive amounts of money via privatization and other actions.

Given urban population is 280 million and is rural is 55 million, enjoy your misplaced outrage masquerading as humor. You really out to be a permanent co-host of The View. 

Being that the race was decided by a few million votes, and I can count....yeah, rurals were KEY in fucking us.  Had rurals broken out at the same percentages as non-rural voters, Trump doesn't win in 2016 or 2024.  Math.

There is no demographic that loves him more.  They love him.  They want him.  They DEMANDED him.  Let them eat what they demanded.

Interesting… so if farmers can’t buy seed and fertilizer or commit to hire seasonal labor, what happens to food prices next fall/summer?

Still, is it any wonder they vote for him, versus subpar candidates that are supported by people that derisively tell them they’re uneducated buffoons voting for a fascist? 

Subpar?  Compared to what?  Their competition?  (guffaw)  Let's assume the Democratic candidates are subpar to some theoretical standard.  I guess we should give the uneducated buffoons a pass because they voted for even worse candidates whose policies screw them over personally because they don't like being told they're (checks notes) uneducated buffoons?  

Seems to me like they're pretty on the mark, these subpar candidates.

Are you saying the demographic that wears “fuck your feelings” shirts got their feelings hurt and that’s why they voted for the orange turd? They were always going to vote for him

 

of course they are not solely to blame, but I have no pity for them. They are getting what they asked for

I voted for Kamala. She’s a significantly weaker candidate than Trump in my eyes. I voted for her because Trump isn’t emotionally fit to be President. Still doesn’t change that most of the country agrees that he is a better CANDIDATE. 

These sentences together make no sense to me at all.  I mean, thanks for voting for the logical choice, I guess.

Only a Black woman who has been a senator and vice president is “significantly weaker” than turnip.

Most of the country didn’t agree turnip is a better candidate as he didn’t even get 50% of the vote.

Eliminating the debt ceiling and removing it a suicide pill for nihilistic politicos is prudent. We have the dominant reserve currency—and the immense benefits of that status—because we do not default on our debts.

Stronger in the GOP has its shit together behind him. Kamala wasn’t helped by Biden but she did nothing to segregate herself from him. Her campaign was “I’m not Trump”. They was good enough for me but I recognized her relative weakness. It wasn’t good enough for the majority of the country. I have voted exclusively GOP in my voting history. I abstained from voting for POTUS in ‘16 and ‘20. I have never and would never vote for Trump. 

Please point to me where the majority of Americans have ever voted for Trump.

Democratic leaders need to just skip right past Trump and go directly to Elon to discuss policy, etc. That will drive him bananas.

I'm loving how Mike fucking Johnson, a dude who has dedicated his entire fucking life to evangelical "purity", doesn't pass the MAGA purity test. Get all the way fucked.

Agree with this one 100%. The debt is unconscionably high, but the debt ceiling is the worst possible way to manage it. It served no function but to present catastrophic risk to the dollar, and by extension to the global economy.

I live in an ag community.  I also work for the federal government.  Unfortunately, I work for an agency that still requires me to show up for work during the shutdown.  The last one lasted 35 days, so we were tardy on two paychecks. 

Every shutdown, without fail, local social media is overrun with posts by farmers/ranchers championing sticking it to the feds.  Here's one from 2018, for example, from a rancher who also owned a restaurant....

Dick2.thumb.jpg.0cab5785e0503935167e291f642ba03a.jpg

 

A week later, he, along with many others in the ag community, were complaining to our senators and representative that they weren't getting their gubmint handouts or able to apply for loans because the Farm Service Agency was shut down.  Farmers across the country complained loud enough that the FSA's status was changed from furloughed to excepted, so as not to upset the "backbone of our country."

I think they should be forced to prove they didn't vote for Trumpmusk before getting any preferential treatment.

Previously you said the Democrats presented "subpar" candidates.  That implies you are referencing their qualifications, not the strength and cohesiveness of their party's support (as you now are suggesting).  I don't know what your vote has to do with your prior comment.  We were talking about why rural undereducated buffoons voted for GOP candidates who are clearly worse than those "subpar" democrats because their policies run directly contrary to those voters' interests.

Also, a majority of the country didn't vote for Trump.  Hell, even a majority of the voters didn't.  (Hint--it was a plurality, and by one of the slimmest margins in history).

It had little to do with race/sex and people have got to stop with the racism and misogyny bullshit. It is totally counterproductive. 

Well, when you suggest that the dotard is better qualified to be president than a former DA, senator, and vice-president, what do you expect?

We don't see your point because it shifted from one post to the next.
