I spent the entire first month after the election arguing in the "have compassion for rural voters" threads. We have been suffering from these exact problems since forever. It wasn't all that important to them to bring jobs to our communities.

Still with it all the same thing no work within shouting distance. I'd like these same people to frigging acknowledge the fact that their problems and ours are exactly the same; and stop acting like assholes about it in the process.

They can either they pull their boot straps up like they keep telling us to do or maybe it would be alright to have the entire system of government overturned in an effort to bring jobs to inner cities that either fled or weren't there in the first place. We've technically been at this struggling with poverty thing a whole hell of a lot longer so I call retroactive dibs on the whole "have empathy for deal".

You get what you give and we've been given a whole lot of nothing but finger pointing, scorn and "law and order". So excuse me for not having overflowing tears and sadness for these people. However, what I do have is an open invitation to understand that our fights are one in the same.
