Inflation is crushing rural America

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

The proliferation of very fuel inefficient $50k+ pickup trucks says that they could easily bring down their inflation exposure a large degree by not needing something to magnify the small peen.

Uhhhh it actually makes a ton of sense to own a pickup truck if you live in a rural area... especially if you own a lot of land that you maintain on your own, or if you have unmaintained roads near or on your property.

People living in suburbs or mid-size cities with pickups are the ones you should be making fun of here.
 

Those same rural voters will deliver a GOP Congress that will immediately pass tax cuts for the rich. So why is there such a huge disconnect between what their reality is and and what their politcal action and advocacy is?

This is posted like it's some sort of "gotcha" that owns the dumb rubes but, really, if the liberal movement in this country had any sort of non-braindead answer to this question they'd probably be able to consistently hold federal or even statewide power.

 It's not a gotcha because we know the answer. Too many of these voters vote their cultural biases and prejudices as study after study shows. Why they do that is a different question.

 When the other half of the GOP "tax cuts for the rich" platform is a constant fearmongering about nonsense "threats" like CRT, Sharia Law, LGBT, Trans bathrooms bills, anti-Feminism, criminalizing Abortion, or whatever their latest boogeyman is you can't say it's liberals faults for not having better messaging. These rural voters are adults and this is what they choose to support.

Gotcha... seems like the only reason people may not vote for your preferred candidate is due to their own personal moral failings and lack of intelligence (thankfully this is not a problem you need to deal with!).

Is the only answer to this to... do absolutely nothing? After all, why negotiate with bigots? Seems very convenient that the nature of the problem means that you are not only the righteous one, but that the best strategy is of course to continue doing what all empirical evidence suggests fails to reach your strategic goals.
