Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
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.
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.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
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!

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
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
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I'm tired of all this bull****
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
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.
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".What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

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.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!
