1. Hmmm... wouldn't those be those same white rural voters who gave us Trump(R)?

They all thought they were being ignored by the government. I guess they're about to find out what that feels like when it really happens.

2. That's what I was wondering. I think many of them will come to regret their vote.

3. Karma's only a beast when you are.

4. Well, there are great jobs waiting for them in the coal mines

5. HE SAID HE WAS GONNA.

But yeah, listening to women or POC is just too much, I guess.

6. +1. They knew exactly what they were voting for.

7. Say, wouldn't this be a nice time for a political rally or two?

Sure, it's not as exciting or glamorous as a big rally New York or Chicago or Los Angeles, but why not have the local Democrats stage a little meet-and-greet for the locals in these areas? Talk directly to folks who just might be inclined to listen to some different ideas without having it filtered by their favorite teevee or cable station. Maybe bring in a nationally known political figure to one or two of the rallies. Maybe even chat with the local newspaper and electronic media folks and give them some content that doesn't have to go through Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson first.

8. For sure...

9. It's not rocket science. China doesn't need analytics

It's fucking soybeans and hogs

China knows where the products come from and how to fuck over Trump

Ancient Chinese proverb: You can always fool a foreigner.

I do feel sorry for the American farmers, but there is another ancient proverb

You reap what you sew
