Make America White Again
Keep trying
keep trying
Let me know how that works out for you
Why is this necessary? Arenât the rural whites making gobs of money these days cleaning the coal? Didnât highly paid manufacturing jobs for unskilled labor come back with a roar? They donât need Medicaid at all, I would think.
Even their attempts to hide their racism are incompetent. I certainly hope the challenges to these obviously racially motivated exemptions end up before decent judges. I havenât been able to keep up with the district court appointments by this administration, but the few stories or comments Iâve seen are disheartening.
I simply canât get my mind around how the Republicans call themselves the standard bearers of family values while they strip people of basic rights and services, even to the extent of life-threatening deprivations of medical care. At the same time, they condone misogyny, racism, and the debasement of our basic governmental institutions by their leaders. The instigators and supporters of actions like those described here have graduated from deplorable to despicable.
Perhaps they should be sent back to the European backwaters where they came from, until they learn better English, right, General Kelly?
That said, just hang on a bit longer, yâall. Wealth from Republican economic policies is just about ready to trickle down to you.
Any day now.
And if youâve ever heard some of those mugwumps talk âŚ
English as a Second Language
The renewal/continuation of white privilege to benefit from federal assistance. The rural white Republicans will also get a free Trump phone - programmed to automatically re-tweet all of his racist and un-American crap.
They were hoping we wouldnât notice.
ââŚare racially neutral on their face but have a disparate impact on a particular group could be illegalâŚâ
This is diabolical. If this ainât illegal, donât know what is. OTOH, some Bush- or Reagan-appointed judge just might say itâs OK.
God those people sound an awfully lot like the immigrants Kelly was describing, low education from rural areas
Well, honestly theyâre citizens with a formal right to be here, so that issueâs off the table. And I try not to vote against my interests but I do know what itâs like to be laid off from a dying industry. If you live in a place with nothing but burger-flipping jobs for 50 miles in any direction, and youâve got a high-school education, youâre not going to suddenly reinvent yourself and support your family just like that. Poverty is difficult to escape. I donât have to watch a Frontline documentary to understand that. But divvying up health care on the basis of whoâll vote for you or not, thatâs pretty damn cold.
They just love lawsuits donât they?
See, rural white people are the salt of the earth and victims of neglect. And they arenât made lazy and dependent by government handouts, so this is totally OK.
Theyâre not even trying to hide it anymore, are they?
But then why should they? I mean look what theyâve gotten away with so far. And in the meantime we have countless stories from the media of how they take road trips to talk to trump supporters and how we must cater try to understand them.
Gotta say though, this admin knows their base. They know that their supporters donât hate Medicare, they just hate the idea that those people get it and something must be done!
Imagine if President Obama made the same rule, only the Black people were exemptedâŚ
Donât forget all their work on all the new infrastructure projects.
And health insurance and prescription drugs are so much more affordable now anyway.
GOP: The Whites are entitled and always will be.
Iâll wait for libertarian genuises within the Intellectual Dark Web to explain why rural whites are not âtakersâ sucking off the teat of the state.
Speaking of Trump voters, it looks like sanity is beginning to return for some of them:

Money quote:
âI feel like Iâve been tricked by the devil,â said Devine, owner of Harrodsburg-based Devine Creations Landscaping. âI feel so stupid.â
Also:
These workers arenât immigrants, and there is no path to U.S. citizenship. When their seasonal work is done, they return home. Thatâs why Devine thinks the Trump administrationâs stifling of guest-worker programs has more to do with racism than economics. âI think thereâs a war on brown people,â he said.
But what makes him most angry is that Trumpâs properties in Florida and New York have used 144 H-2B workers since 2016. âI want to know why itâs OK for him to get his workers, but supporters like me donât get theirs,â Devine said.

Need to rephrase Obama: clinging to god, guns and Medicaid.
