    Hopefully this weekend does Scooby, Maize Rage, and others some good. May their teams win and they spend some time outdoors getting fresh air or whatever else relaxes them. Holding on to so much anger and bitterness over something that is out of their control is not good for them.

          There's the GOP saying leave the policy to Paul Ryan.

          So awesome. It's like half the country had no ****ing clue what they were doing on Tuesday. It's beyond fantastic.
          They got what they wanted. The GOP is laughing their butt off cause Trump wont prevent them from doing anything. Unfettered control...they did so well with it last time

              Growing up in Trump Town
              The globalization of markets in the 1990s and the absence of care for our 50 public education systems ensured that droves of uneducated people in small factory and farm towns spread across the entirety of the nation would become uneducated people in small towns without steady work. Public education reform mostly doesn’t come at the federal level and electing a new president won’t spark it; due to our individualized school systems, it comes at the state level. North Carolina, now able to begin recovering from Pat McCrory setting us back 20 years on the social timeline, ranks 47th in average teacher pay; Florida got its convoluted system from a **** Jeb Bush napkin doodle; Louisiana can’t find a penny for its K-12 system. Anyone who expected these communities to spontaneously become educated might be more foolish than the Trump voters.

              ...

              These towns, these churches, and these people, are not all looking to have a logical discussion with you about how wrong they are about abortions and gay rights. They’re struggling to find consistent work, still behind in obtaining secondary education and thus catching up with the progressive wave, and have now, in response to feeling threatened and forgotten, elected one of the most horrifying candidates in American presidential history as their response. The “coastal elites” that originated from these places knew years ago that we lived in towns capable of picking such a candidate; now, everyone knows how that feels. Welcome to Trump Town.
              Good article but, as with anything on Deadspin, the comments are good as well:
              At the root of your story and at the root of all stories of crumbling small towns in rural America is education. And here’s the thing about that (which you acknowledged above): people in these communities have acted and voted against their best interests and against increasing access to, and money for, education.

              As has been said before: it’s difficult to feel bad for people who actively vote against their self-interests. Though it’s easy to see their motivations, when these communities blame others for their losses (be it immigrants or African Americans or politicians), it’s impossible to empathize. Because when other disenfranchised groups complain (about systemic racism and other disenfranchisement), those valid complaints go completely unrecognized and unacknowledged by white rural Americans who have been perpetuating those iniquities.

              Which leads me back to education. It’s hard to see this with any logic without familiarity with, well, logic. Though I can see how the church and groupthink actively work to befuddle, all it takes is a few people applying reason (and education - it helps to see the ways in which history repeats itself) to realize that the sentient cheeto dust bumbling his way into county’s the highest office isn’t going to help your community into prosperity.
              And therein lies the problem with "Dems need to court these people!" The only thing you can tell them is the truth, their factories/mills/mines aren't coming back, we can provide jobs in massive public works projects on our infrastructure, no African-Americans nor Hispanics nor "the Gays" are to blame for your troubles. Like has been stated, yeah the Dems can help them and are willing to listen, but they need to recognize the world has changed and we can't go back.

                The electoral college didn't cause this. It is not the problem. There's also a very good reason for it.

                    Hey Scooby did you hear about St. Thomas. Someone used the N-word in graffiti :/ (they had protests today)

                    Students at South High walked out and are protesting...I student taught at that school it is almost exclusively minority. Good for them!

                    What the hell is going on...

                        Still relevant. Even today.

                        For a price I'd do about anything
                        Except pull the trigger
                        For that I'd need a pretty good cause
                        Then I heard of Dr. X
                        The man with the cure
                        Just watch the television
                        Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

                        Got no love for politicians
                        Or that crazy scene in D.C.
                        It's just a power mad town
                        But the time is ripe for changes
                        There's a growing feeling
                        That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

                        I used to trust the media

                        But now I've seen the payoffs
                        Everywhere I look
                        Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

                            Immigration and equality issues aside, I'd be far more comfortable with Trump making policy than I would with Ryan. That guy wants to destroy every social safety net this country has, and give all that money to the rich.

                              And from the second paragraph in that article:

                              In constructing its factory town, the Cannon family funded the building of a police department, a post office, schools, churches, and mill houses on surrounding land.
                              Funded a police force. Homes for their workers. A community as it were. Because these business owners realized that they were a community, their fortunes rose and fell with teach other. Together.

                              That's the huge lesson that today's corporatist America has forgotten, or just ignores outright. Now it's every man out for themselves, and grab yourself the biggest share of the pie you can. Everyone else can, in the words of Donald Trump, "go fuk themselves".

                                And also the article talks about how they continuously rejected unionization as well.

                                I can have empathy for the people in these situations as I'm in a similar boat but I can't be sympathetic because they've done all they can to put themselves in this situation as well.
