Rural Trump Voters Already Live in the Safe, Tolerant Utopia Leftists Claim to Want

If you arent "racist" at this point in the game, you are low iq.
Racism doesnt exist. Its pattern recognition.

As someone who lives in Hickory, I can attest to the truth of the article.
But as the video on Dan B's podcast mentioned couple of week ago, libs, no matter how and what you show them will not believe.
They are immune to the facts. Therein lies the problem.

I'm not American but I can tell you there are an abundance of similar locales in Canada. Small towns, far and away from large cities, where there exists a peaceful, non-violent environment.

This may sound racist, and maybe it is, but these communities are white majority. Many who live there were part of the "white flight" phenomenon.

I have moved around a lot in my day, and I can tell you in all honesty that white flight does not exist on racism alone. I lived in a "new" community or suburb of a big city, where i was the only white family on the street. These were big beautiful newly built houses. A year into it, and the street went to hell.

None of my neighbors had ant respect for their own property, much less anyone else's. No one mowed their lawns, no one planted gardens, no one maintained their property, but we had ours destroyed by unknown persons in the middle of the night, one night.

Then the crime started. Break-ins, crowds of people partying at all hours on the street leaving their garbage everywhere. Then fights and brawls, gun shots. Police were there constantly. Teens stabbing each other, trying run each other over with cars. Then my brand new car was scratched to hell, and tired slashed one night. My daughter was called all sorts of derogatory racist names(she's white) by all the black kids in the neighborhood. Then she was assaulted by neighbor.


Year and a half into it, we got the fuck out, and moved to an all white neighborhood.

Wait, what, here?

That's your version of rural?

I built and live in a tiny cabin on a paid for 1.6 acre lot, lots of wildlife, 10 miles from town, rough dirt road, no running water, and I've never been more satisfied with my living conditions. The other option was 3 blocks from the
DC beltway, $1,000 per month one bedroom,, owned by a gods chosen reptile who hated his white tenants,
traffic helicopters circling at 5 am, sirens day and night, vandalism to autos, and the crimes mentioned already, in addition to the blatant racism I encountered, which increased with my age, and their numbers. Go visit and sit on the bench on the town square dedicated to Theresa Osbourne, taken by her ex black boyfriend to the woods nearby and executed for breaking up with him. So yes, your description sounds inviting.

Truth and rioters would be shot before they could lift a TV off the floor.

Do you have one in better weather? Not Florida, I've seen Deliverance

Yeah.
I am 40 miles south of Boone. Yes, while I live 40 miles NW of Charlotte, going pretty much in other direction is rural.
But, I will state, having lived near Charlotte for the past 40 yrs,it has declined because many, and I mean many, individuals have moved south and brought their stupid ideas with them.
In fact Tucker Carlson mentioned last night how this is happening exponentially in the past yr here and other states.
They leave their states because of decline but brought their policies.

Well, their response to the clean and free lifestyle in rural small towns is .... "Get Involved!" They will take over the county commissioners, the city council, the mayor's office, the school board, the Chamber of Commerce (which is already a haven for the few liberal citizens),and anyplace else they can weasel into.

Beware! They are on the move, and they will soon have your local zone of sanity trashed, and it will turn into the city they left, in miniature.

Truth. I am seeing it before my eyes.

What is the average home price?

Leftists are like cancer. Once they move to a new location they start to metastasize and destroy that area. Everything they touch turns to shit. It would be smart for these rural areas to continue to make themselves inhospitable to people with the Leftist mindset.

Well, if you're in the south, that's what those places look like. I spent a week camped out in a mansion in Mississippi over the winter and the poverty in the surrounding towns is palpable.

You can live somewhere like Quartzsite, AZ, but why?

Yeah that 1 way of looking at it. Though some key points your either forgetting or ignoring.

First and foremost, observe your own behavior and that of other Republicans because this is a key component, notice how unwelcoming you are and how you simply are about your own. Now consider this, why are there so many banned j word religion in hollywood, and why do they pretty much own the diamond industry. Is it because non get lost suck at movies? Does only banned j word religion know how to handle a diamond. What about 7-11 and taxi drivers is it that middle eastern drivers are the best drivers? coincidence? It's an obvious answer, it's about the people and people purposely giving favor to their associates.

Second republicans are more conservative, they seek safety of keeping thing's the same. Obviously rich family does not seek or want much to change, they are perfectly fine without it. A conservative approach is advantageous. A poor family of course wants change as they seek to better their situation. Obviously a conservative party is incompatible with the poors desire for change thus a more liberal party is required.

The same argument is often tried to link black people to being criminally inclined, on the surface it appears true, as black people had a rough start in the country segregation later leading to the disadvantages communities and the ghettos you have today. Obviously with more blacks being born in ghettos whose environment will look . Whereas white america has continued to prosper without burden developing better communities.

Really you say that they live in these perfect little neighborhoods, but on this forum Republicans post the most vile hate, constantly cast blame on the other party and then try to step away. No good policy's or discussions about them. Nothing that would actually matter on the political front, just more slander campaign

Much of what you say is true, but if you can find a way to support yourself, those dumps are still far better places to live and raise kids in. Those places are also overwhelmingly white, and in the end that almost the only thing that matters.

Hickory NC isn't "rural"; it's a small city. There's a minor league baseball team there. Not only that, there's tons of ruin in the general area because the furniture industry imploded there in the 90s/2000s. Property crime is awful out that way.

If NC didn't have the economies of Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham to depend on for tax income, it would be another Kentucky or West Virginia where the senators have to trade favors to get pork projects.

I have no interest in picking fruit for a living or being the clerk at an ACE Hardware/Rural King. I grew up in a semi-rural suburb and all the kids that stayed got into heroin and meth because there wasn't anything else to do and no meaningful jobs. If that's a "far better place" than where I live and it's high end public schools that the kids I don't have could walk to from the house instead of riding a bus for a half hour, then I guess we're pretty far off in terms of defining what good is.

That hasn't been my experience in small town America at all. I live in a major cultural center on the east coast right now earning money to move back and pay for a house completely and I can't wait to get the fuck out of here. When I go to a store here it doesn't even look like America. It is a black and brown, third world hell. I can make more money here, and the medical care is significantly better, but in every other way I can think of life is better back in the small towns. I've worked and live all over the US and parts of the world, so my perspective is pretty broad; I just probably value different things than you do.

When I was young and dumb I wanted to live in Tulsa, Ok City or Kansas City where all of the action was. 24 hours of excitement.

Once I got married and had children those things became less important.
Quality of environment and people became the Utopia.
Few places checked every box on the perfect place list.

It didn't take long to realize that I already live in the area I was looking for. We did decide that getting outside the city limits of a small town with a low crime rate and capable of supporting our modest lifestyle was best for us.

My now adult kids still have strong friendships from their kindergarten days. We can drive a couple of hours for entertainment in slightly larger cities as desired. It's good place to retire now, IMO.

Jealous much?

3 blacks live in Winston. I’ll take it.

I never said it is rural. Having lived here for 26 years I can tell you rural is not far away.
One, to your point I expect this area to decline because of the influx of individuals from other states bring their idiotic policies. Again, I seen this with my own eyes. Charlotte used to be a pretty nice city but because they just have to have a basketball and football team they have declined to a crime infested area.

Second, furniture imploded because of NAFTA and it is coming back. There are approx. 10 companies here begging for people. I know because my wife works for one.

Third, because of the influx of Dems, our NC is gradually becoming a shit hole. We would have voter ID expect for the Governor, who was elected because of Winston Salem, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Asheville. NC somehow managed to survive well prior to 1990.
Speaking of Asheville, it has went to the crapper because LGBT. Enough said on that.

Fourth, I do not know if you have been to NC but but there is a difference between what you read and reality.

Fifth, being from SC I have no problem going back to simpler ways. Progress is not always positive.

Your grammar says CCP, or is it Common Core; or are they the same thing?

I can think of few to no examples of conservative versions of a San Francisco, Portland or Baltimore where it can be said, hey, they city wouldn't be so screwed up if it were more liberal instead of more rightwing.

Same thing with states like New York, California, Illinois, Oregon, Washington.

Same thing with Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Same thing with public schools and colleges.

Same thing with, of course, government.

Same thing with the NFL, NBA and MLB.

What again is liberalism and liberals all about and good for?

Your politics have dominated urban America and, for that matter, also Third World nations for decades.

The US has been trending to the left on a continuous basis for over 60 years.

All that liberalism has done and meant what for America?

Are liberal entities like a San Francisco, Illinois or Silicon Valley somehow more wonderful and more beautiful because they're also very "progressive?"

Is the education system more wonderful and more beautiful because it's way more "progressive" today than it was decades ago?

Dude, your hate for "the left" is liberal and libertarians. They are not leftists. Not even close.

Real leftists absolutely embrace rural life. Stop listening to government propaganda. You are letting them win by believing their bullshit about the "evil leftists"

This left/right fighting is ridiculous. They succeed when you give in to it. It is rich vs the rest of us.

Both sides are one in the same. They push this left/right bullshit, to keep you fighting the people you need to be teaming up with to fight the real problem. The rich elite control so much more of things than most people realize, and they have succeeded in getting the working class to defend them and turn their hatred towards each other.

Parts A and B kinda matter a lot. I'm not ill equipped to compete in the work place and so I want to. I have no desire whatsoever to be a line cook or cut hair out of a barber shop I turned my living room into. And like I said earlier, what people are calling "rural" here is just living in a suburb and commuting a long distance. No one here is going to move to Northern Iowa or Western Nebraska. They all want to be able to get delivery pizza and go to a real grocery store. Clearly the motivating factor for damn near everyone in this thread is they just want to be around white people, which considering the argument the original post makes is pretty ironic.

Well, that's the premise of the thread.

Having lived here for 26 years I can tell you rural is not far away.

And you don't live there, presumably for good reason.

One, to your point I expect this area to decline because of the influx of individuals from other states bring their idiotic policies. Again, I seen this with my own eyes. Charlotte used to be a pretty nice city but because they just have to have a basketball and football team they have declined to a crime infested area.

Ah, yes, the NBA's fault. Makes total sense.

Second, furniture imploded because of NAFTA and it is coming back. There are approx. 10 companies here begging for people. I know because my wife works for one.

It's not coming back. Everyone in America is begging for people and has been for the last 6 years except in the big cities, where they're full up. The problem is that no one wants to live there and they definitely don't want to live there and make furniture for $14/hr.

Fourth, I do not know if you have been to NC but but there is a difference between what you read and reality.

I've been through plenty of NC. Not as much as some states, and more than others. There's areas around the Smokies that look like Belize.

Fifth, being from SC I have no problem going back to simpler ways. Progress is not always positive.


I'm sure you can and would be moving into a small city there too for the same reasons you live in one now.

I have to wonder if Screaming Hawk of Doom was injured and looking for help. Animals will do that sometimes.
