Dacoit, from one rural American to another, please tell me what Republicans have done for rural America?

Rural America is an internal colony ruled by corporations. Oil, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, big box retailers, housing developers and prison corporations use us for cheap labour, and foul our land, water and air. These fat corporations donate a couple hundred dollars to one of our local high schools, then plaster their great charitable acts all over the New York effing Times.

Again and again Republicans vote against us, then show up at our town halls with giant checks from bills, passed by Democrats only.

Dacoit, when was the last time you saw a Republican at a union picket line? Just a couple years back, I saw my governor, a Democrat, on the picket line with striking coal miners - how about your governor?

I see my Democrat governor working his tail off to build agricultural futures in our state. And who the f-ck, f-ucks up one of our most promising ag projects? None other than JD Vance and his venture capitalists who replace local labour with immigrant labour to keep themselves afloat while they bail out with all the money, and leave the project bankrupt.

Now that you know the stuff that matters to me and my family, please tell me what Republicans have done that matters to you and your family?

Rural America is my home. I serve diner, gourmet, seven course, and homecooked thoughts — but spare me chain food served on thoughtless trains of thought.
