In reply to the discussion: 77 million Americans should be ashamed [View all]yellowdogdemocrat1
(16 posts)43. Specific about Liberals
As far as the rural people, they don't like city-slickers. It's the old country mouse city mouse thing, it's been around forever. So often they would say....well it's not done that way here in Nebraska. I was from Denver, Colorado. People were also called down if they didn't like their gun culture. They didn't like the way of life in the city.
Guns are very important in the rural areas. So much of their social life is about guns. Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, Ducks, Geese, Annual Coyotes Hunts, A gun a week raffles, Events for Kids to Learn How to Shoot, it's all hunting and guns.
It's cultural.

Admittedly, I do think they are stupid or at least mislead. Not only is it going to cost them

I live in rural Texas - the Texas Hill Country, and it is indeed a culture of guns as you describe.

Remember, the orange convict is a reflection of his voters. If he is mean, hateful, cruel and selfish it comes from them

They're "owning the libs" and many don't care even when it impacts them directly

Let us also not forget all those people who didn't vote at all because their vote just didn't matter.

We aren't going to make any progress through this without embracing them. Ask AOC. She said this in a recent video

Not so sure 77m is accurate since Trump himself said they rigged the election
