They hate the flyover states so much, they pretend they/we don't exist. There are small factories all across these rural areas and also small towns that are supported by farming. 95% of these rural people are white and 80% of them WORK a LEGAL JOB and make less than $50k.
I live up against the Nat Forest and have a Royal Oak plant, a stave plant, airplane part machine shop, plastic bag plant, egg crate plant and many more within commuting distance. When they listen to Trump vs Harvard/Yale DeSantis, there's a difference. Which one do you think they can relate to? Trump was also on TV for a decade or more. Reality TV and wrestling/fighting.
Tax focus is GOPe bullshit.
Conservatism is
Build the Wall
Drain the Swamp
American First in all Things
Pro 2nd Amendment
Pro Life
Taxes and spending mean NOTHING. It is a substance created from thin air by the Federal Reserve.
Find people who want to Drain the Swamp. Want to know the count of those in office over 6 years?
Right. Zero. That’s why the GOPe wants to talk about taxes.
