(522 posts)Point of view many times on other platforms. I usually get put down for it. We have to remember that whatever we feel, they feel also. They express contempt for intellectuals, books, anything like that. There are a lot of people among the maga that have high school and not much else. There are many well educated farmers though. Just not in economics and how governments work. They all went to different schools and emphasis is placed on different areas of learning in every part of the country. It seems most is based on what the local businesses need, not what the nation needs. I noticed a difference between states after moving to California for 16 years and the moving back to Missouri, it was culture shock. We have to learn to curb our personal opinions or fail. You cant convince someone, who, you have contempt for of anything, even if its for their benefit. Contempt shows through, no matter what you do. Democrats have sympathy for people in the inner cities, but I believe there is just a bit of contempt there too. Thats why we lost many of them, the same thing applies to the rural populations, the different ethnicities. It would be hard to put this all together, but we must do it, in time for 2026. We have to truly recognize the weaknesses in the Democratic Party and fix it, or trump and people like him are the future.
