    for example West Virginia and Mississippi.

    I know this because I’ve driven through rural Georgia. It’s like going back in time.

      It’s so crazy to me that Europeans and other foreigners buy into propaganda intended for Americans and then get mad at a total fantasy. The America they think they know does not exist. Edit: This is especially annoying when they try to tell us “vote your way out of it,” holy fuck

          No, it does not exist at all in any context for anyone who is “actually” American and bound to the land. The ultra wealthy are stateless, they can and do live overseas part-time or full-time even if they have American citizenship.

              What do you mean? I know some somewhat wealthy people, but I don’t think middle-class wealthy people aren’t dealing with a different layer of the same bullshit
