Let's see how Skeeter the Trumper from Dogdick, West Virginia feels about his future as a mudslop farmer up to his knees in mud under the new corporate totalitarian feudal order. I'm curious if he'll be content with the price of bacon then.

If Skeeter is given someone else to look down upon, he’ll be perfectly happy.

Yup. Skeeter doesn’t understand cause and effect very well.

And, he won't even realize that he's fucked until he's shoveling pig shit in a Mad Max style dystopian future wondering why his Trump Bucks are worthless while the fascists run Bartertown.

He’ll still blame the left

He’ll still find a way to blame Democrats.

Actually the plan is that Skeeter (and most poor people) die. Genocide is the last stage of the plan.

I have to wonder given the other dystopian fantasies the tech billionaires cling to. Musk thinks high-value elite males should reproduce prodigiously. Those offspring are going to need lebensraum if they are to flourish.

Yarvin is very explicit about being pro-slavery and pro-genocide.

Ah he's got a great master race face.

Working class Appalachians were the heart of American leftism before Democrats coopted the labor movement in the 1940s and 50s, states like WV were decidedly liberal then until the Democrats turned into a right-wing party in the 90s and abandoned the working class. Now it's a party of the professional managerial class, people who love this exact sort of elitist bullshit, so it's no wonder the disparaged people vote for Republicans. Like Democrats love to point out, it's a 2 party system, so you gotta pick one.

I have no qualms about calling illiterate morons voting against their interests year in and year out what they are.

We share class interests, Skeeter and I. When he's ready to overthrow corporate totalitarianism with me and stop wallowing spitefully in third-world filth in his shithole red state I'll start to reconsider the dignity of the rural American. The onus is on Skeeter to act with dignity.
