I've read you post the above more than a few times. However, someone who regularly links to NPR, mother Jones and southern poverty law center like @redtail hawk does isn't going to ever click on one of your links, let alone read any of them. 1

Finding someone to blame and then hate them. Maybe part of it is where we live, I don't deal a lot with people who are overall failures in their lives, so I don't see the envy nearly as often. But I do recognize my area is not normal and maybe it is skewing my perspective. 1

Very tucker like of u How did you twist it to that ? LOL If you are referring to my response to your horrendously bad take on Democrats not taking their election stealing statements seriously, then you (as usual) are misreading it. "please" doesn't equal "forbid" and any adult could tell you that I was satirizing you constant replies. Feel free to answer anything that you want. BUT DON'T think that you are fooling anybody with that last reply. You are franticly grasping on to my second post to avoid explaining your answer to my initial response to your false review of all my posts. In which I am just a right-wing zombie. It was twaddle as is most of your views of other posters I can see it as can the rest of the board. . 1 1 1 1

Where did you meet them mean poor folks? when you saw them at the food bank line? You imagine reading an article like that. but you just changed DEM with conservative. and those towns with the poverty/war zone parts of every big city. That also vote in very high margins for a certain party. And what would you call an article like that? Edited February 17, 2023 by Chris farley

That also vote in very high margins for a certain party. And what would you call an article like that? i'd call it illuminating and fact based. Did you read this part? do you dispute it? "Across America, the partisan gap in gross domestic product per capita is also huge and growing: $77,900 in Democratic-voting areas, compared with $46,600 in Republican-voting areas. Antlers and Pushmataha County are hardly alone: 444 Republican counties have a GDP per capita of under $30,000, and 10 times as many people live in those counties than in the seven similarly low-GDP Democratic counties. Whites in about 40% of all Republican counties lost income over the past two decades. And Trump’s administration was no help to his base. During his presidency, the overall Democrat–Republican GDP per capita gap widened by another $1,800." Where do you think I met them? worked with the public for my entire career. 1
