    But it is also important to remember that not all trump voters look like this. His reach is so much more insidious

      It’s very important that every Trump voter thinks they can look like this after hitting rocks with a bigger rock or 16 hours a day.

      Why do you see it as targeting Trump voters? I’m in Canada and we also have people driving giant SUVs in McMansions whining about gas and energy prices. It’s fair and legitimate to bitch about the price of food, however it’s also easy to see that the average North American car is now more like a tank, and that people whining about gas prices don’t seem to be able to look into a mirror.

      Yes, most of the people owning monster trucks will also vote Conservative here, or for a conservative party, I guess it’s a political statement on its own. But it’s also very easy to find liberals (as in neo-liberals, not “the left”) with gas guzzlers bitch about gas prices.

      In fact, thinking that this is what Trump supporters look like is one reason he won. Ignoring his appeal to the working class was a fatal mistake.

      correct, in my area it is these people, and laborers currently getting ready to lose a bunch of compensation, due to the tariffs their companies are gearing up for. This is probably the first time they have called for cuts, and, instead of just getting record profits, can demonstrate they are going to lose a whole lot of their profit margin. Then there are the far more rare people like a few of the people are here, who are disabled, in poverty, and getting ready to have life saving medicine pulled from them.

      I was just saying this in another thread. It’s a cult, and cults ensnare people of all walks of life, intelligent, educated people as well. The dumb redneck ones may be the drones, but there are others in there that are scarier.

      I think the problem is the roads. They’re just too damn wide. Cars just grow proportionately
