(11,949 posts)Like you, I remember when rural folks would vote democratic. But if you think they will in 2020 you are kidding yourself.
Right wing radio and Fox News have made this a struggle for survival for white, conservative Christians. They think they lose to democrats, they lose the country. All the non-whites, gays and all.
Like your family almost everything my family enjoys is because of Democratic policy. Roads, power, phones, Social Security, Medicare. Everything. But my formally Democratic voting family will not vote Democratic in the near future. Abortion, people of color and Liberals. They happily vote against their self interest to keep their place in their dying hierarchy.
I hope I am wrong. I love my family. But they live in an alternate universe where America is white folks fighting the good fight. For what? They really cant tell you. But they are fighting it.
Dont leave DU for hearing the awful truth.
If Im wrong I will owe you s beer!
