How Half Of America Lost Its F**king Mind

I already posted this in another thread.

I am from the exact kind of rural environment this writer is talking about and he is 100% correct. Folks out here are the butt of jokes, we are derided as "dumb, racist gun-toting hicks" by the urban intelligentsia, often with nasty insinuations that we are inbred, too. When we try to complain of our economic troubles all we get are rants about how even caring about poor rural whites is inherently racist.

Bloody heck for real huh? Well, yeah those shoot downs need to stop on both sides and listening on both sides needs to be promoted. I think people will eventually grow tired of hating (i hope) and who knows may listen. That will be one problem if solved that will lead your country into a 1T feel I think. Eliminating at least some of the current building hatred.

I wonder if this is what it felt like before the US Civil War, each half of the country hating the other half's very existence. No desire for rational problem solving, only the desire for cathartic rage.
