9. Black and brown people wanna take their stuff. All the other things are noise.

That is what it comes down to. Lest we forget this country engaged in a civil war for the sole reason to defend the idea that the white man is Supreme to the black man. People were willing to die for that idea. (That is what they said in their own documents so don't reply nuh uh.)

So yes, these rural people could lose everything, see their loved ones die from lack of health care and opiods, starve from stupid tarrifs, lose their retirement but as long as they go to bed every night and are assured that they are better than a black man, all is well. Yes it is that simple for many.
