Trae Crowder (The Liberal Redneck) on JD Vance (The Weird Hillbilly)

[@christhornycroft3686]

Because he understands why rednecks and southern people in general gravitate to Trump. He gets it. When Trump was working with Jesse Ventura, his policies were quite liberal, but in that time, Trump realized that Republicans were a lot easier to manipulate. Democrats weren't as impressed with his narcissistic rich guy act and he knew that Republicans, as long as he dragged religion into it and gave evangelicals everything they wanted, they'd give him power. Donald Trump is a moron on most things, but one thing he is good at, like most wannabe dictators, is reading people and deciding which audience is easiest to manipulate. He kind of spilled the beans when he said "I love the non-college educated." Of course he does. That isn't to say that there aren't intelligent people who didn't go to college. George Carlin was a good example. But Carlin, unlike a lot of non-college educated people, decided to educate himself. Most non-college educated people have an aversion to learning and are easy to manipulate because they won't fact check.

I joined the Army at 18 as a ticket out of town and off to college. And I HATE Hillbilly Elegy. I always did, because I read it, and it's what I heard from the fancy people in town my whole life who took advantage of everybody else: it's your fault you don't have anything. You don't work hard enough. So thankful Tim Walz is finally pointing out what that book really promotes.

I grew up in small town Texas, and Trae nails it. I knew the same people he knew. They were my fiends, and some of them still are my friends now in my 60s. We talk about the same stuff he does, and sometimes disagree, but we don't hate each other. Some of my right wing friends laugh at his jokes about them, not because they are stupid, but because they truly think his jokes about them are genuinely funny. Trae's jokes about liberals and Democrats are also funny. What America really needs more than anything else is a sense of humor. We need to laugh at ourselves. A sense of humor got me through cancer treatment. It can get us through this constant bickering. Just my humble opinion.

[@davidbusen545]

Glad you came through it Glenn. Also glad you reminded me about the importance of seeing humor even if it's in your circumstances. Father was going through cancer, used to be 6 ft 1 and 260 weight. Down to about 140 lb and I started bringing him tapes I made of Caroline's comedy hour and comedy specials and you usually taped them while watching them but on this particular occasion I was busy and so taped it and took it anyway. Don't remember the comedian but he was talking about having cancer and I thought I was going to die making dad watch this and then I looked over and he was laughing and crying and doubling over and he got his appetite back. He was given three to six months and he came through with nine good years and too bad nights. Here's hoping your days are full of fun and your nights are peaceful.

Anyone who has gone to a corporate employees town hall reporting financials since COVID hit knows that C-suite reports out loud that company policy is to raise prices as high as the market will bear, increasing most prices for regular stuff 30%-200% since that time, just because they can.

What? How many guns??? I’ve only got 9 ‘stashed’. Feeling vulnerable!!! Actually leave front door unlocked 80% of the time, which is likely not normal. Have a “wouldn’t happen here, but what-if?” attitude. In fear is how the right-wing want you to live, correct?

Here in Australia having 9 guns would make everyone feel very uncomfortable & suspicious of you! No one needs that many, it shows an attraction to guns. The US gun culture seems out of control. Who benefits? The gun companies. Who pays the cost? Your whole society.

Mark Cuban, fellow techbro billionaire, went on the Daily Show and described the Silicon techbro culture like they were James Bond villains. Sitting in ivory towers with their pet people like Vance, wanting to have more control over everyone else than they already do. They think money gives them the right, like medieval people thought of divine right.

Middletown, Ohio isn't a rural town. The population is 50,000+ and not far from Cincy or Dayton. Miami University has a regional campus there.
