    My response for these kinds of people is always, “They aren’t the ones destroying your town. You are. You know why people are moving out? There are no jobs that don’t enslave you to the local bigot in charge. There is no community outside of one that openly ridicules you and mocks you for any kind of weakness. Your towns and communities are dying and you, the village elders, are so wrapped up in your petty grievances against imaginary enemies that you can’t tell that the vampires are sucking your blood, feasting upon the corpse of a town.”

      Unironically I want to tell fascists this.

      The whole “red state miracle”? That’s because no one wants to be around chuds. CHUDs are what you put up with because their presence keeps property values low so I can actually afford there. Blue cities main problem is its full of the small group of Americans who actually matter so property values are too high. Chuds? You ARE the “riffraff”.

      No one goes to red areas, they put up with it.

        Telling them they’re the scum of the earth is how Trump got into power. They thrive on this abuse, it’s like kicking a mushroom ring and scattering the spores everywhere. You just get more mushrooms. Homer Simpson had two cars, three kids owned a home and had a stay-at-home wife all on a single working class salary. This didn’t just happen, it was enemy action.
        I can take you to the factories that moved away by the Democrats, party of the working man, admitting China into WTO. China is clean, safe and polite, just like small town America used to be.

          Ask a black person or a gay person or a woman or a trans person or an atheist how “safe and polite” small town America used to be.

          They never needed an excuse. They have always hated minorities and wanted them to suffer.

              Women alone are 50% of the population, and I don’t know if you’ve ever been to rural America, but women definitely live there. They’re only “an exception” if you take a male default as given.

                sk a black person or a gay person or a woman or a trans person or an atheist how “safe and polite” small town America used to be.

                They never needed an excuse. They have always hated minorities and wanted them to suffer.

                You did it again! How did it go from small groups of the marginalized to 50% of the population? How do you not see yourself doing this‽
