Subject: Re: Insightful or condescending?
I'm not MAGA, but it is very condescending. You cannot pigeonhole people.
Look all you leftists, people voted for Trump not because he was nice or honest, or a moral upstanding guy. People voted for him because they thought he would fight for them, very much unlike Democrats, who only seem to want to advocate for the trans people and the Black people and the lawbreaking illegal immigrants. Get that through your head first before you can understand how the centrists and the right wingers think.

This: "unlike Democrats, who only seem to want to advocate for the trans people and the Black people and the lawbreaking illegal immigrants." If what you think is that Dems only want to advocate for trans and blacks, it sounds like you are believing propaganda. Trans is a new wedge issue - and is used by the Repubs to - drive a wedge between us. It didn't help for the BLM folk to come up with the dumb slogan - defund the police - that hurt their effort and libs badly. I consider myself a centrist.

You don't sound like a centrist to me, but I realize you think you are. I'm used to not getting what I want, even though it may be part of the platform. I put healthcare before climate change for instance. I see AOC as a modern social democrat, and I think a blend of socialism and capitalism such as the Nordic states has proven to be the best and we should move in that direction. Fat chance of that and that seems to be due to the carefully crafted resentment you display. Dope and Jedi have the same resentment.

After looking at issues I always stand back, look at the state of the country, and ask myself if the country needs to move right or left, and the country always seems to need to move left.

As for small town folk? I've seen small town folk who have had rich lives, with love and friends and heartbreak, and they may have had one road trip when they were young. But small towns talk about everyone - and some people have to move to get away from that talk. Adios.
