The reason the Underserved American continues to vote for the Republican Tea Party are innately fears of big government and the idea a real tea party can rise again. They believe their guns are going to keep them safe. To some extent the Russian spy seeking power in becoming a NRA lobbyist was also poisoning the well in that those guns would never be taken from them because even Russians recognize the need to defend against government AND that is what is missing in countries like Russia.
Many of these Americans are Red State voters. They may or may not have a high school education and some are caught up in the idea education does people no good because they attended advanced education schools that took their loan money and never provided an education that served them well. While President Obama changed the law to protect them and litigated against them the people may still be burdened.
The multiple jobs they have are always tenuous in Red States. North Carolina employers can fire you for having the wrong color eyed and it upheld. The state unemployment is something like 12 weeks now. One of the brochures handed to the unemployed is Uber facts and where on the net to sign up. North Carolina and most if not all Red States don’t care about people. They care about money.
The State of Texas’s flag should have an oil barrel in the middle of the single star because it is the only economy it can manage, Oklahoma has chronic earthquakes and regardless oil and natural gas and fracking lives on to provide the largest tax income to the state. Look at the deaths and ill health in the petroleum industry. Why?
The Red State politician offers no alternatives. The petroleum industry pays the best, so does coal. When those product demands fell and continue to fall in the USA as a measure the Republican leadership didn’t take it in the chin as a win against GHG pollution they passed legislation to export it. They don’t care about the people to even instill a sense of well being. The Red State politician offer investment in cancer research and liver transplant protocols so people can continue to to support what is left of the tobacco lobby and drunkenness.
Texas doesn’t try to change it’s immorally. It doesn’t care. It has a handicapped Governor as example of compassion and morality AND the best part is the Americans with Disabilities Act to prove there is a way to return to work no matter the problems.
Louisiana after the BP Deepwater Horizon had oil all over it’s beaches and into its wetlands and streams. There were children playing in the mess. Twenty years the incidence in cancer will tick up. The federal government has to maintain the Medicare and Medicaid into that state to maintain health care for the generations of children effected. As a country we can’t turn our backs on them because their culture of innocence and godliness is exploited by their government.
There is nothing godly about Red State governments. The TONE of religion suits them. Sacrifice and hard work will get them into heaven. The reason there are disaffected Americans is because their wealth has been removed from them and what they get in return is suffering for being the fool to the politicians that demand to do more with less.
Republican tax cuts forces more suffering on the Middle Class in years to come because there are more of them so the US Treasury will receive more from tax deductions. Go ahead, explain to them they have been robbed of their wealth. Go ahead, see what comes out of THE FACTS/THE TRUTH. Oh, yeah, the rhetoric on Fox is there more tax cuts coming for the Middle Class authored by a retired former US Senator Coburn. Sure, it is a great punch line leading into November.
The USA takes care of its own while the Trump tax cuts registered a trillion in deficit spending today from the beginning of the year. How long can the USA take care of it’s own?
