They vote against Obamacare, despite a lot of them being dependant on the ACA to survive. When asked about this, most of them don't even know that Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing.
They vote against government subsidies for rural hospitals, roads, railroads, airports, etc. despite them being the only ones who benefit from those subsidies
They vote to cut EPA funding to clean up their towns and states, and keep their water drinkable and their air breathable.
Hillary Clinton offered rural coal mining communities job retraining and wind power careers. Instead, they voted for Trump who doesn't have any coherent plan to help them, except to cut funding for services that they depend on.
In essence, Hillbilly Joe Bob in West Virginia voted in 2016 to lower taxes on the "coastal elites" he hates so much and to cut funding to programs he probably depends on to survive.
These rural hicks are misguided by Fox News and the idea that they are somehow "temporarily embarrassed millionaires," who will get rich one day due to the "American Dream."
And to be honest, I'm goddamn tired of feeling sorry for them.
They are ignorant and stupid, and can't be bothered to change their views. When confronted with the truth, they sink back into the comfortable world of fake news.
And they vote out for PURE RACISM AND HATE. They don't mind Trump's blatant xenophobia. They don't mind the fact that people of color will be hurt by Trump's policies. They refuse to give a single damn about people with different skin color or sexual orientation than them when voting. They even cheer the deportation of millions of innocent, hardworking immigrants, due to the utterly fake idea that "them brown peoples done stole muh jobs!"
Screw these hicks. I hope they SUFFER because of who they voted for. I hope that their water becomes undrinkable and they choke on their coal dust filled air. I hope that Trump's budget cuts to their hospitals and schools results in their illiterate children dying of easily preventable diseases like the flu. I hope that if the ACA gets repealed, Farmer Billy Bob suddenly realizes that he depends on it for his heart medicine. I hope that the stupidity, misguided selfishness, and racism and xenophobia of their vote comes back to bite them in the butt... HARD.
Because after all, that's what they voted for.
Nice try, but the US has the highest murder rate of any industrialized nation. Violent crime is on the rise, contrary to the international trend.
Violent crime is at its lowest point since the '50s. Please provide data to support your claim.
U.S. ranked 126 out of 219 for 2015.

Rate rising recently.

No, screw them. They get what they deserve for their stupidity and hate.
Pffff. A tiny uptick for a year when the overall trend is down, down, down, down. Canada has the same slight uptick.
Homicide offences, number and rate, by province and territory (Number of homicides)
As do others. Murder rate in England/Wales rose 11%.

Since there is a moron playing country way too loud on his radio right now, and since tonight's football game is going to be a redneck slobberfest, I'm in the "gee, I wish the secessionist movement by these assholes would have been successful" mode. So, **** them.
I hope they choke on their poisonous air and water, and then enjoy handing out their credit card number before anyone will send an ambulance.
Whatever, but the larger point is that the U.S. is no safe haven at 126 out 219...There is room for improvement.
Four regions loosely connected via treaties but independent.The answer is to break up the country into more compatible zones....We are not the UNITED states...we are very much not united...we don't even like each other very much....No one likes being told how to live..Yet that's what we have going on, and people are not happy...at all.
No, that wasn't the point I was responding to.

The post you responded to:

The first sentence is usually the main point. So I showed we are 126 out of 219..

Don't forget the angry, hate-filled bile that flows from the left who claim not to hate. You know, like this:After reading the OP and the two asinine questions ^^ I think the only hate here is by socialist OP and anyone who actually voted in this poll.

Conservatism works, socialism fails every time it's tried. :shrug:

Yes, and I would not call them all "stupid and racist". The oldest trick in the book that the ruling class uses is to get those bellow them to fight amongst themselves. Corporations love it when one group of working and middle class people blame all of their problems on the "racist hicks", and another group of working and middle class people blame all of their problems on the immigrants and crime. While we bicker amongst ourselves, they make away with all of the money.
You wanna explain that to these proud conservatives? They really knew what they were doing when they voted for Trump, right?
