(2,768 posts)Promise all the factories are coming back and we'll forsake the future of energy so that they can mine coal? What jobs has the Republican senators, house members, governors, state legislators produced for them? They vote for them as the default despite getting nothing in return except heart ache.
Why do the Dems need to beg and plead for them to leave their abusers? Cmon, tell me WHAT jobs can they realistically tell these people about? And then when it doesn't happen and they crucify the Democrat who told them about these nonexistent jobs? Do you think they are going to turn over on Trump and the Republicans when they are in the same shitty boat with holes after this whole mess is over?
They will not, they'll vote in another Republican overlord or feign allegiance to making things better just like they did with Obama. I want to know how rural voters on our side feel about their neighbors constantly voting to us all down the drain feel?
