Moore is too heavily vested in his ideology to admit what he knows is the truth, it would be bad for his business.
Don’t get me wrong Moore is a left wing loon when it comes to his political (publicly at least) stance.. but he’s not completely detached from reality like the Coastal Libs and Globalists are.
He was one of the few voices on the left, warning that Trump was going to win, and exactly why he was going to win.... but the powers that be on the left wouldn’t listen to him.
Folks like myself, in these same rust belt states on the right, saw the same thing Moore was seeing... because we were living in the minefields that the economic policies of both parties for the last 40 years had wrought... and for the last 2 administrations in particular had been devastated by and had no one care or do a damned thing.
But the coastal elites of both parties just couldn’t see it... and refused to believe it because they weren’t living the hell their policies had created. Their towns weren’t overrun by illegals or drugs, or laying in economic ruin because of globalist policies... they were still lining their pockets happily.... Their children weren’t growing up in towns where the only work available was HD or Wal Mart, with shuttered factories and their kids weren’t getting addicted to prescription opioids....
Trump “got it”...he was speaking RIGHT to this part of the country from the day he announced.... it was clear what his strategy was, and pretty damned obvious it was going to work..... to everyone that wasn’t stuck in “it can’t happen” thinking.
