Kasich says "we need to listen to rural America". I think I've listened enough.

[maxrandb]

So John Kasich was just on CNN saying that he thinks Biden will win, but that we are so divided we need to listen to each other.

He then went on to talk about NOTHING but listening to "rural America".

The thought that Retrumplicans need to "listen" to urban America never crossed his mind.

So, let's look at what democrats have done for rural America.

It was the Democratic Party that provided electricity to their homes and towns.

It was the Democratic Party that provided them roads to better get their goods to market.

It was the Democratic Party that saw their elderly starving and gave them Social Security.

It was the Democratic Party that gave them Medicare and Medicaid so that they didn't have to die in their late 40's from treatable and preventable disease.

It was the Democratic Party that ensured their children had access to education.

There's more, but here's my point.

For all that the Democratic Party has done, we asked for ONE thing in return.

We asked that they please acknowledge that black and brown Americans were just as American and just as entitled to the freedoms and opportunity of America as they are

That appears to be too much to ask, so forgive me if I'm about DONE "listening"!

[Ninga]

1. I so hear you.

[SharonAnn]

35. And so do I.

[Laelth]

2. I have no interest in listening to stupid people.

Undoubtedly, there are intelligent people in Rural America who are not Fox-zombies. I am perfectly happy to listen to them. They probably voted for Biden/Harris.

-Laelth

[LymphocyteLover]

62. exactly

[berni_mccoy]

3. WRONG: Rural America Needs To Stop Listening to FOX FUCKING NEWS!

That's the problem with America right now.

[walkingman]

17. Which came first the Chicken or the Egg? Our education system has failed us.

[BeyondGeography]

20. Actually, Rush Limbaugh predates the chicken and the egg

What do people believe? The things they hear.

No point in listening to them; all you get is a regurgitation.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

89. Our education system has been purposely destroyed by RWers.

They don't want people to think so much that they see what is really happening..

[sop]

18. Rupert Murdoch's disinformation and propaganda organization has done more damage to our

country's democracy than all other factors combined.

[MOMFUDSKI]

42. in a netshell

You are SO right.

[bdamomma]

80. exactly.

nt

[misanthrope]

81. No, that is a symptom

The elimination of the Fairness Doctrine is the bigger issue.

[Harker]

4. I'll listen to reasonable, honorable people any time.

They're not all that common.

[AleksS]

5. Yes!!!!

It’s time for rural America to wake up and listen to reality.

Trump did nothing for them. Fuck. Trump didn’t listen to them. They’re not trumpets because they’re listened to. They’re trumpets because they’re disgusting, deplorable, sick fucks, and when they end up homeless after Monsanto comes to conglomerate their shitty farms into more massive corporate farms, I hope they suffer. They get what they fucking deserve.

[Goodheart]

6. Fuck those assholes. We give them subsidies out the wazzoo.

The fact their lives are boring snoozefests worthy only of endless masturbation is not my fault. Stop whining, because our system gives them far more political sway than to what they should be entitled.

[Rice4VP]

7. Screw rural America...

They are racists who claim to be pro-life but voted for a guy who let 230,000 people die

[Yeehah]

75. and voted for a guy who invaded the wrong country for corporate profits

and allowed our enemies to escape.

[Thrill]

8. They need to stop having so much power

They contribute the least. The electoral college gives them too much power

[NotAPuppet]

9. We need to learn how to communicate with ALL

Voters. How are we the party that fights for the average Joe, when the average Joe votes for Trump because we can’t get our message across to them?

Trust me, I agree with all your points, but we have to learn how to communicate our policies better to ALL Americans and how to communicate our accomplishments. I don’t k ow how many people in rural areas know what Democrats have done for them?

[madaboutharry]

10. It is tiring that republicans are always demonizing democrats who live in cities.

They are the ones who are divisive with their "rural" vs. "urban" bullshit and their mantra that somehow living out in the hinterlands makes you a purer America. It is manipulative and disingenuous.

[Hotler]

11. John, shut up and sit down. nt.

[Progressive Jones]

12. Clearly, I've overestimated the character

and intelligence of a large number of rurals.

I'm sick of everything in this nation being in deference to rurals and Bible addicts.

[Newest Reality]

13. We should listen to...

Last edited Wed Nov 4, 2020, 03:49 PM - Edit history (1)

We should listen to people impulsively acting on their base instincts to the point they see nothing other than what an authority figure tells them?

Listen to a cacophony of pickup trucks, guns and their idea of God? We have heard that forever and its getting old. Iit's incredibly stale and adds nothing new to our knowledge at all. Messages from Backwardistan are not going to help us deal with today's problems and move into the future at all.

Listen to their paranoid xenophobia and inability to extend their freedoms to others? The ones who believe that freedom is not reciprocal and that it doesn't come with clear responsibilities that they can seem to understand at all? A freedom that just applies only to me is just another form of tyranny.

Where will all of that get us? Downer and more ignorant?

I could go on, that was the short list

[smirkymonkey]

87. +1000

[albacore]

14. I'd be glad to listen to rural, red state America....

...if they just weren't such welfare queens.

https://www.businessinsider.com/red-states-are-welfare-queens-2011-8

Notice the source for this one...

[UTUSN]

15. President Joe can name KASICH as Ambassador to them, never to hear from him again.

[mtnsnake]

16. Last night I posted that we should start looking for ways to appeal to rural voters

because if we don't do that, we could be in for a fuck of a time in future elections when we're not running against a moron like Trump. I agree with Kasich.

[JHB]

29. Don't be so sure. What Kasich is saying is "listen to Kasich"...

...because God forbid you talk to rural voters who don't agree with him.

How about we talk to rural Democrats and rural liberals? It's not like they don't know what their neighbors think; the neighbors never feel the need to hold back.

[Azathoth]

19. They never want to specify what "rural America" wants

Other than vague bitterness towards "urban elites", what exactly is it that "rural America" wants? Are they really coming out in droves to repeal the estate tax and Medicaid and the regulations on derivatives trading? Half the stuff they claim to care about is explicitly opposed by the guys they're voting for, and the other half is implicitly opposed.

No. They're coming out because fuck the gays and fuck the Mexicans and fuck the blacks and fuck the illegals and fuck the Muslims and fuck the atheists and fuck the people who want abortions and fuck the people with college degrees who waive elitist concepts like math and science in their faces. And also fuck shadow enemies like "antifa" and "BLM" and "socialism".

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. I'm sure Mr Lehman Brothers has his finger on the pulse of rural America.

Or maybe he has his finger on those wedge issues they have been pushing for the last 40 years.

Fuck him.

[LuvNewcastle]

43. Well said!

[LymphocyteLover]

61. yeah... they are a sad bigoted bunch

who unfortunately dominates our political system

[onethatcares]

68. I thought they wanted to vacation in Florida

and clog the roads while we're trying to get to work and they are looking for the next fast food joint.

Why don't they just go to the Villages and grab some STDs instead of running the highways with their turn signals on for miles?

[BlueStater]

21. What makes rural people more special than those that live in cities?

I hate that politicians have to kiss their asses all the fucking time.

[bdamomma]

83. Well

I'm sure that there are politicians who don't kiss their asses, such as McConnell or Lindsey.

They don't give a shit about their constituents.

[Dawson Leery]

22. The rurals need to stop listening to hate radio and Fox.

IT IS TIME TO END ALL AGRO SUBSIDIES!

[Wellstone ruled]

23. No,we need not listen to Rural America period.

When Nixon so called opened China the Population Shift began. When Jack Welch went to India and found out they spoke English,this Shift accelerated. Coming originally from the Ag Industry,saw first hand the shift. Towns and Villages dried up and people had to relocate in order to provide for their families.

At the same time,Public Education failed to keep up with the needs of a new Society as a whole. So as a result we Educated people to be functional to the local labor markets with a few exceptions and those exceptions left the local area where their talents were above the local needs.

Rural America is a functional Society with Tribal instincts controlled by Religion and out dated belief systems.

[renate]

24. I'm loving all these replies

So sick of this “what do rural voters want” crap. Racism, control of the state by the church, and blue state-to-red state welfare.

There. Done. Can we talk about something else now?

[Wounded Bear]

25. Why don't they ever have to listen to anybody?

[maxsolomon]

50. Because they have outsized electoral power.

Dems have no way to actually "talk" to them.

[Efilroft Sul]

27. A million times this, maxrandb.

Rural Republican voters are killing America and the rest of the world by extension.

They put a gun to their heads, exclaim, "I owned the libs!", and pull the fucking trigger every time.

[JHB]

28. Ah, but guess who speaks for "rural Americans"... HE does!

It's always an excuse to say "do what I say."

[Peregrine Took]

30. So freaking sick of him.

Its a shame that his fugly mug took up speaking time are OUR convention.

[llmart]

31. I have no desire or intention of listening to rural voters.

That's coming from someone who grew up in a rural community in Ohio. I'm sick of this meme and how it just emboldens them to think they are more important than the rest of us. I will judge who I associate with and listen to by what that person believes in and has done with their life, not by where they live.

I went back in 2016 for a reunion and stayed for a long weekend and what I saw - trump signs everywhere in the poorest yards, high school classmates who were so stuck in the 1950's that their days consisted of meeting at the local diner and rehashing old high school stories - made me hightail it back to my home. I vowed never to go back because there was really nothing to go back to. I saw that coming as a very young person of 18 and I left that little rural town as soon as I could.

[Maeve]

111. Fellow Buckeye here

And yes, left the rural area I grew up in and would not want to go back. However...

The farms and small towns have seen their way of life fade away. Farm that were in families for generations just can't cut it anymore, jobs that used to pay well are gone, local stores have been overtaken by Walmart and the people left are at a loss. They don't understand what happened (the world moved on) and they want to blame SOMEBODY! Must be all them immigrants and city types (read: blacks). Mom still lives in a small town and I see what has happened there in my lifetime; it isn't pretty. I understand their despair and they are going to need help out of it but mostly they get preyed upon by RW vultures.

Kasich has a point, but no solutions. Stopped clocks never do.

[llmart]

113. Thanks for sharing your story.

But I have a problem with the ones who are stubborn enough to think that they don't have to move on with the times. There are many, many places where young people ARE starting smaller farms that are organic and making a go of it. Then they follow a political party that has never done anything for them and criticize those people in the cities. The GOP tells them they are the party of personal responsibility, but they won't take personal responsibility for their own life situations. They demean anyone who's pursuing higher education as "elitists".

You say they're going to need help out of it, but they despise others getting help. "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is their mantra when it comes to others but not themselves. Plus, isn't needing help what they rave about saying the Democrats are promoting socialism?

Instead of us being told we have to understand and empathize with them, what they really need is to either accept their lot in life or at the very least start admitting to themselves that they've been conned by the Republican party.

P.S. Did you grow up in NE Ohio by chance or the southern part?

[Maeve]

114. South Central

Circleville area to be exact. Mom lives about half a mile from where the Beast held his rally Oct 24th.

[llmart]

116. Thanks.

I never heard of it growing up in Lake County. But then we never ventured very far as kids. We were too poor to go anywhere. I left the state in the early 80's when Reagans policies decimated the rust belt. I still say he was the beginning of the end for the rural areas with his anti-union stance.

[PA Democrat]

32. Rural America has a much greater "voice" than they deserve thanks to

the Electoral College and the Senate.

Those folks would have a lot fewer rural hospitals during a pandemic that running rampant through their maskless (FREEDUMB!) population if it weren't for the fact that the ACA saved many rural hospitals in states that took advantage of the Medicaid expansion.

I'm SICK of rural America.

[chowder66]

33. How does one listen to them when they can't even hear themselves? nt

[ffr]

34. Soap box rant. Yeah!

[cherish44]

36. I live in rural America

Uneducated white people are a bane to our democracy.

[bdamomma]

84. the uneducated

masses easier to manipulate, brainwash and control we have witnessed that first hand.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

37. Exactly!

Well said

[Yavin4]

38. Here's my question to them: What exactly do you want?

They already have all the guns they want. They can worship any God they want. They have college football, pro wrestling, pick up trucks...What the fuck else do they want?

Non-White, women, and LGBTQ communities are citizens as well. Sorry, we're not going to negotiate taking away their citizenship rights.

[Lock him up.]

74. They want to "own the Libs" on the anti-social media platforms and repeat the pRopanganda

catapulted to them by the multi-millionaires on fux noi$e and hate Radio. Sums it up.

[AlexSFCA]

39. rural America is not diverse and increasingly racist

But dems do need better messaging to counter rw radio. Why can’t we just buy all these radio stations and local newspapers with Bloomberg’s money?

[gratuitous]

40. Why can't we listen to the majority of voters instead of a small interest group?

Here we go, four more years where Republicans don't breathe a word about "the will of the people," but instead insist that the country be run to suit some special interest minority group that just happens to be heavily Republican.

[The Magistrate]

41. Rural America Needs To Listen To Urban America, Sir

This crap works both ways, or it does not work at all.

In fact, as the life experience of urban people is a good deal wider and more varied than that of rural people, it is much easier for city folk to understand rural sorts than vice versa. The idea rural people have of city life is often ridiculous, and generally amounts to nothing but ignorant bias, clouded by their own overweening self-satisfaction. Which is itself rooted in their ignorance of any lives or conditions other than their own. The need for listening and education runs from the town to the country, not the other way round.


"America is mostly people who've never been more than a hundred miles from where they were born, convinced they live lives superior to those in any other place in the world."

[yaesu]

44. I will ignore all tRump humpers, poor lil snowflakes still haven't gotten over that "black man"

in the white house.

[bdamomma]

86. oh yes

they never got over that. A very smart and articulate "black man".: shrug:

[kimbutgar]

45. No why should I listen to a bunch of uneducated idiots who only get their information from

Talk radio? And now that corona virus is swirling around their areas and not many hospital beds available they are going to have tough two months.

[IronLionZion]

46. GOP have been lying to rural America, encouraging them to hate urban America

So the big problem with all those great Dem programs that help all Americans is that some Americans don't want other Americans to have it. They are fine getting screwed as long as people they don't like get screwed more.

There was racist opposition to Social Security in the beginning. Same with Medicare/Medicaid. Same with ACA.

[Demsrule86]

47. I don't doubt that I dislike many in the rurual areas as much as you all do...but

if we want to win senate seats and on a presidential level, we have to attract more of the vote. You don't say when you want support 'here I am; I am not changing' so support me. Winning election is everything. And we need the Senate. So we need to have a plan to expand our numbers. Obviously, we don't compromise our principles, but we need to expand the base...we win when we have a big tent...always have.

[BBG]

65. Many rural folk don't want to be in a big tent

They want to be away from others, they separate themselves on purpose. There ideal is not in community but being alone and away from others. They are antisocial and are not interested in contributing to a greater whole.

[Demsrule86]

69. You have to find a way or you won't win elections.

You have to win votes and I think some in our party have forgotten this. Field candidates that can win in rural areas.

[hamsterjill]

48. Rural America needs to stop profiting off the urban areas.

They come to the urban areas for everything. They don’t pay taxes.

Yes, we need their farms, etc., but that doesn’t mean they don’t need us, too.

They come to the big cities when they need healthcare especially. You’d think they’d want to stay away from us.

[LisaM]

49. It's the Democratic party that wants to fund and expand rural broadband.

If we pull this thing out, that needs to happen.

[world wide wally]

51. Maybe rural America could listen to other people for a change

[Vinca]

52. Why listen to them when half of what they spout is unintelligible claptrap conspiracy

theories? I'm sick of the Cuban Americans in south Florida, too. Booga, booga, booga "socialism" while Shitler is about as close to a Fidel Castro clone as you can get. People are really pissing me off today. Actually, I'm wavering between extreme sadness and being furious. Eddie Glaude made me cry when I heard him express his frustration with white America. He wants to know what they want. Why would they vote for Trump after everything that's happened? I have to agree and I'm a white American looking out at 66 million idiots who still think Covid is a hoax. Not all of them are billionaires enjoying the casino stock market. Some of them will soon die because they're fools and won't wear masks. Some will wish they were dead when the medical bills pour in when Obamacare is gone. I'm just fucking disgusted with this country. If I were one of the aforementioned billionaires, I'd buy an island off the coast of another country and never think of the 66 million morons again.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. Kasich announces he's rural America's leader, as if anyone is listening

[JDC]

54. They need to listen to us for a change. Fuck Kasich

[budkin]

55. FUCK RURAL AMERICA

That is all.

[Chili]

56. perfectly well said

[Hip2bSquare]

57. It's not so much of listening to them ...

but what are they listening to. It's not reality. Rural Ohio must know manufacturing isn't coming back. It isn't, but they still believe it will.

Coal industry is dying... even moscow mitch of coal country told them, but they are told it's coming back... it isn't.

Is it fox news and/or is it a real mental issues that haven't been addressed? I've heard for decades that these industries are coming back... they are not coming back.

How do you reach them?

[blueinredohio]

58. Me too. Fuck them and fuck Kasich.

[LymphocyteLover]

59. I've listened to them and all they speak is rightwing BS

It's sickening

[Greybnk48]

60. Kasich is sleazy repuke and a hardcore misogynist.

He's not much different from Trump, and I don't trust one word he says.

It's time to stop kissing the asses of rural America when it's clear that the majority of them are racist, bigots. Enough with them.

[LPBBEAR]

63. Fuck em all

Fuck each and every one of them. Fuck the Electoral College for giving them a unfair advantage despite there being far fewer of them than us. Fuck allocating 2 Senators to every "shithole" state rather than allocating fairly by population. Fuck em Fuck em Fuck em.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

64. MANY OF US CITY DWELLERS CAME FROM RURAL - and we got the got the hell out

cos of lack of job and education opportunities and.... dare I say it, small minded vindictive people who blame others for their shortcomings and gossip and hold a grudges literally for 40 yrs or more. We left cos we LIKE diverse cultural opportunities.

However we still have fam and friends and connections and maintain a strong affection for those places in spite of having made the choice to not live there

Some fam and acquaintances who are trumphumpers but many who are NOT. Note that even in the deepest rural areas there are surprisingly liberal/progressive folks who yeah might keep a low profile but know what they believe.

STOP MAKING THIS into some polar opposite either duaility that it isnt.

Actually there is a phenomenon now of city dwellers moving to rural or small towns cos of lower housing costs and now being free to work from home. So that will certainly erode the city dwell vs. country bumpkin dichotomy.

[Jakes Progress]

66. We listened. They said we are bigots.

They said we hate children. They said we think they are above the law. They said we want you to think we are christian, but we don't believe or act on anything that christianity preaches. They said we are so afraid of everything that we will literally destroy the country rather than man up. They said we will use stupidity as an excuse to be greedy, mean, and nasty. They said "We are trump".

Yep. We listened. They were very clear.

[Bettie]

67. Rural America

can fuck itself.

There are very few decent people in rural areas, at least in Iowa.

[Major Nikon]

70. Not to mention farm subsidies and a disparate share of federal dollars

More than just a bit tone-deaf, Gov Kasich.

[Progressive dog]

97. Vermont, Wyoming and others get one

The other states get a number of representatives approximately proportional to their population. The population is as measured by the last census. There is no permanent apportionment for the house and never was.

[movingviolation]

72. Fuck rural America.

These yahoos need to pull their collective head out of their collective ass and join the 21st century.
I'm through listening to ignorance, fear, superstition, projecting, and indecency.

[Doremus]

73. Kasich is a horse's ass.

Had my fill of him in Ohio and certainly don't want to hear from him now. His thoughts and ideas are irrelevant to me.

[llashram]

76. this

I will never believe in this country and its lies ever again. I'm going to try to find a quiet place and just retire from this hypocritical rat race called wilfully racist Amerikkkan society.

[Autumn]

77. Fuck rural America and fuck John Kasich from the bottom of my rural American heart.

They have nothing to say. Nothing

[melman]

78. Remember when people were saying how wonderful it was having this prick at the convention?

[theaocp]

108. No, they "don't". n/t

[bdamomma]

79. Listen to rural America?????

Maybe they don't fucking listen to us, stuck in their ways and are racists.

Just very sad.

[diva77]

82. Kasich's presidential campaign manager, John Weaver is one of the Lincoln Project's advisers.

[Leith]

85. I wholeheartedly agree with every reason in this thread

Just what insights does some small town or rural resident have that escapes the rest of us?

[smirkymonkey]

88. Thank YOU!

I'm sorry, how do I put this politely? Fuck rural America! They are the reason we are in this mess we find ourselves in now. I'm done with them. Their racism, sexism, stupidity, ignorance, backwardness, vulgarity, crudeness and aversion to progress.

They need to listen to US! Sorry, rural DU'ers. I know that you are with us in spirit.

[tenderfoot]

90. Go pound sand with that bullshit...

[grobertj]

91. I think there's a correlation between rural folks and evangelicals. I grew up in small town, and

most of the people I know who live there are VERY Pro-Life and anti-Liberal (Socialist). Kasich has a point that Democratic leaders do need to do a better job of explaining exactly what you described and a lot more. I wish we could find a way to negate the Pro-Life argument. If that was possible, we'd see a BIG change in rural voters.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

92. Oh christ, not this shit again!

Seriously, Palin's "real Americans" BS again?! People who support a POTUS who's never even read the Constitution should be our guiding light???!!!

[DBoon]

93. without cities, rural america would be a subsistence peasantry

living impoverished short lives.

They are dependent on urban America for their financing, trade, machinery, and the advanced knowledge to run a first world agricultural system.

[Bigredhunk]

94. -

K&R!

[leftyladyfrommo]

95. Honestly? I live in KCMO which is a blue city in the middle of a

Red rural area.

I try to stay completely away from the rural areas. Why beat myself up for nothing? They have a completely separate kind of lifestyle and way of thinking.

It reminds me of when I lived on Utah. Venturing into Southern Utah was just plain dangerous if you had long hair.

[GaYellowDawg]

96. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Rural voters have told us who they are for the last 4 years. Time to stop listening.

[luvallpeeps]

98. Boom!

You just said it all! But pitting rural against urban, black against white, educated against not educated they take advantage of US ALL!!! Divide and conquer. That's it. We got to live together!!!

[nakocal]

99. The republican party created the split

They just refuse to admit their fault. And of course the corporate media with their bull shit, both sides do it have fanned the division.

[Blue Owl]

100. From what I'm hearing, there's a lot of racism

[MichaelSoE]

101. Here Here nt

[scarytomcat]

102. I will not talk to republicans until they put the guns down

and take responsibility for the criminality of their members

[EndlessWire]

103. I agree.

We've just been put through four years of hell, and watched a narcissistic pr*ck rape our country and reward his friends and family with the spoils of our country. We'll have to spend years just getting back to where we were, if it's even possible.

The rest of the world doesn't trust us now. Plus, we have this plague to conquer.

I would talk to them about INCLUSION of every citizen in the business of the country, but they will have to follow along and educate themselves in how to be part of the 21st century. I don't give a shit how they feel! I'm in favor of smacking them down into submission!

And that goes for the Rust Belt, too. Ya'll get it together!

[peacebuzzard]

104. what is rural America? weeds and dirt?

I love nature as much as the next person, but rural America is yet to be defined.

[Mr. Sparkle]

105. Its rural America who needs to listen to the rest of the Country.

and stop playing the victims.

[Earthshine2]

106. I find Kasich to be extremely tedious and uninformative.

I don't know why CNN, in particular Don Lemon, loves to interview this guy.

[theaocp]

107. Wait. Weren't people just talking about how he might be a good fit in a Biden cabinet?

I'll simplify the thinking process: FUCK REPUBLICANS. There. All set. Moving on.

[theaocp]

109. They already have a fucking loud voice.

It's called the Senate.

[Baltimike]

110. NOPE. We need to remind them of all the welfare they get. nt

[KentuckyWoman]

112. Kasich can go stand in front of a Trump train.

[Horse with no Name]

115. Rural America had Trump

That didn’t work out so well.

[Buckeyeblue]

117. Kamala should go on a listening tour across the whole country

I think this would be a big step in starting to bridge the divide between the country. Trump blew up the bridges. He wasn't interested in bringing people together.

If Kamala does this, I think it could really be informing. And I think it would allow her to really be in position to not just run for president but to lead the party and more importantly the country.

There are always going to be things we disagree about. But are they as important as the things where we have agreement?

[machoneman]

118. The only way: Make rural America (red states) pay and pay dearly! Mandate that all red states....

get not one dollar more in Federal funds than they pay in.

Eliminate all farm subsidies. Make them pay the full boat in Federal taxes for all diesel, gasoline and oil used in processing (big money here btw). Slap an ad valorem tax of oh, say 25%, on all new farm equipment. Raise farm inheritance taxes a bunch, say 50% more than now in play. Make them file for bankruptcy in droves then we buy up the farms and donate same ot Democratic farmers!

See, unless we break their backs they will always vote Republiscum. Let's teach them a financial lesson they will pay dearly for. Sure, our food prices will go up for awhile but it will be worth it to destroy rural R-Scums.

[North Shore Chicago]

119. Fuck that John!

Tired of playing nice, obviously the rural shoeless rubes enjoy crass bullies. Give 'em what they want.
