With how poor so many folks are in the red states, that's an apt comparison. I've seen trailers in such poor conditions that the buildings almost merge with the woods around them. Folks having to go without water because they couldn't afford the power needed to run the pumps on their own well.

So poor people go out to Cracker Barrel to spend 10X as much to buy food they can make at home. Explains why they are poor.

I had students living in tents in their aunt’s yard in the woods during a Michigan winter. Hard to learn when you were up all night because you were cold and the only food you get is at school.

Sounds like they should stop voting against their own interests. Perhaps they shouldnt attack or reject people trying to help them rebuild after a hurricane destroyed their community. How bad do things have to get for them to change?

“Those damned illegals broke my trailer again!”

So, remember how in Dune the Southern Tribe of the Fremen were the ones who dealt with the harshest conditions of Arrakis, yet held the most fundamentalist of beliefs? That's the same situation in said red US states. Only now they have an "Orange Messiah" to point to and praise.

Their faith will harden their temperament so long as they see the 'right ppl' being hurt by this admin. Their suffering is a test, and other ppl's suffering a blessing. These kinds of ppl don't 'ask' for help. They leave it to faith and obey society in order to get by. That's how fucked they are.

Partially because the brown people are doing so much better than they are. Gotta put the blame somewhere and god knows they won’t put it where it belongs

...Trans, Drag Queens, Woke, CRT, "Illegals," evil books, etc...

It’s a step up from Waffle House.
