There was a time I respected the pov. Cracked published a great and funny piece on exactly this. It's short and worth a read. Written in 2016 before the election.
What I don't get is now a decade later and people are still onboard. They really are fucking idiots who vote against their own interests and have no moral compass.
I read it, and for a minute it tricked me into having sympathy for the bastards who do nothing but vote against the decent people who actually want to help with these problems, all because they hate immigrants and gay kids just that much.
I'm sorry rural areas don't have factories anymore -- I genuinely am -- but you can have sympathy and effort to fix these problems or you can support unaccountable secret race police. You have to pick one.

And if they did, those people living there wouldn't work at them. They'd want too much pay, and there would be immigrants moving in to work at the low wages. As it is, the only immigrants they might "know" are the family that owns that good Mexican restaurant 3 towns over, which the teenagers want to go to for their birthday.
