(25,049 posts)We're partially to blame for the white working class flocking to the repig party. If we didn't call them rubes, rednecks, and stupid fools instead of victims of propaganda, we might be able to reach them with a purely oopulist economic message tailored specifically to their localities.
Working class whites have been fed a steady diet of poisonous right-wing propaganda passed off as truth and unchallenged by not only the left, but also the middle. All they know is the bullshit from talk radio, TV, and even their churches, which are probably fundie.
To burst the fundie bubble, we have to make it sound as if the new message is coming from one of their own, which is very tricky to pull off. We'll need to enlist more conservative Dems to infiltrate their churches and subtly feed them the truth gradually.
