Blah blah blah blah blah blah fuckin' blah. LOOK I give money. I contribute to culture. I make the arguments. I financially support the candidates (FUCKING OUT OF STATE CANDIDATES). Blah blah blah blah "The left gave the fuck up on a lot of "Flyover Country" and now they don't have the House, they don't have the Senate and they only control 26% of the state legislatures" EAT A FUCKING DICK. This has been said so many times it's like the fuckin' koreans and their goddamn breath-stealing fans. "The Left gave up on Flyover Country." What the fuck does that even mean? Does that mean, like, when every liberal under the sun petitioned Scott Fucking Walker about unions despite the fact that we're pretty much never in Wisconsin? Does that mean giving to Planned Parenthood despite the fact that we're not young, not female, not pregnant and have absolutely zero difficulty pointing to eighteen places within a ten mile radius that perform abortions? Does that mean bussing to fucking New Orleans to help rebuild after Katrina? Because that's how the Left gave up on "Flyover Country." Meanwhile the shows we're showing you don't represent your values, the food we eat is somehow offensive to your deep-fried ass, the music we play offends your pedal steel heart and the fact that you fucks consistently vote against women, black people and the poor is somehow OUR FUCKING FAULT. So look. Y'all can pick your own fucking candidates, with your own fucking money, and twist in your own fucking wind. And yeah - the Republicans are going to take it all. Here's the difference: you shitheads wanted this. Us "coastal elites?" We voted for what we wanted, clear and simple, and got everything we wanted locally, clear and simple, and the values we represent, the values we live, the values we put forth? The ones that you're pissed off because somehow, we "abandoned" you? Who's doing the abandoning, shithead? Sure. Win some fucking elections. But you know what? If we don't know how to win YOUR fucking elections for you, STOP BLAMING US FOR TRYING. I am legitimately sick of this shit. Because honestly? I can continue to fly the fuck over your country. Here, look: I can paint the problem with the United States in one fucking step: 1) Insist that homeownership is the key to happiness and increase accessibility to homeownership for all Here, watch what happens next: 2) Watch housing prices increase due to easy access to ownership 3) Watch urban mobility go down due to lack of fluidity within housing 4) Watch cities and towns become more vulnerable to shock when industry changes because people are trapped in their houses 5) Watch blight increase as foreclosures replace tenant changeover; watch the savings of homeowners go to (coastal) banks, watch places without the ability to adapt to change (rural areas) become skeletonized wastelands while everyone of means bolts to the cities, where all the money is JP Morgan Chase: NY, NY Bank of America: Charlotte, NC Citigroup: NY, NY Wells Fargo: San Francisco, CA US Bankcorp: Minneapolis, MN Bank of NY Mellon: NY, NY PNC Financial: Pittsburgh, PA Capital One: VA HSBC North America: NY, NY TD Bank of America: Cherry Hill, NJ __________________________________________ Know what? I want your side to start winning elections, too. But you're not going to. You're stupid fucking rednecks. Sure - not all of you. But enough of you. And you know what? Every time we try and help out the rest of you ungrateful little shits? We're not helpful enough. "What's the matter with Kansas?" It's a fucking shithole full of ignorant rednecks that want to go back to the barefoot, pregnant and syphilis days, duh. And that's why everyone with half a fucking clue moves away, and that's why your population is collapsing, and that's why there's nobody left to work the farm, and that's why you have a sea of fucking Walmarts instead of culture. Because you've been screaming at the top of your lungs you want it that way since nineteen diggity two. But hold the fucking phone if we listen.
