They think millions of drones going to work in steel mills and cutting grain with scythes.

Like it was a hundred years ago.

They could care less. They hate us and they want us dead.

Every time they talk about the white working class voting “against its interests” what they really want is to taser them repeatedly until they “stop resisting” and take the soma of welfare benefits from programs administered by their degreed “betters.”

… because real Americans just want to be left alone by their government.

I agree with this, but I suspect the number of people who fit this definition of “real Americans” is actually very small — perhaps 15% of the population at most.

I would say the share of the population that homeschools their kids is a good indicator of just how many “real Americans” there are out there.

Our government is telling us terror threats across every demographic is higher than it's been before. The top cause of death for 18-45 year olds is Fentanyl.

We in the flyover country are the modern day version of the Russian Kulaks.

Be prepared.

[Karliner]

Is there much of a middle class left? What is the annual income to be “middle class” with the inflation rate?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The people who run the GOP-e do not understand us either.

Their god is their bank account.

Money is nice. But I got my little farm and my little business and my little family. We cover the necessities and a few luxuries. We go to church, have fun at local events and make twice yearly trips to see the family.

Life is good.

Except the government wants to say I can not take care of my animals. I will have to take them to a big animal vet rather then dealing with things I have done for years on my own. Because.... well you can not actually get an answer.

And the government is saying I have to have more inspections on what I am selling.

And now I am annoyed.

And a couple of years ago they told me I could not go to church.

Or visit my family.

Or travel.

Or have local events.

Or go to the park.

I did it any way and moving into peeved territory.

And now they are saying I can not educate my kids without jumping through government hoops.

I am now angry.

They will not like me when I am angry.

I just want the government to protect me from invasion, lock up habitual criminals and otherwise leave me be.

So far they are batting a zero.

Understanding is not in their vocabulary, they want control
