Because this is a hickocracy. If I could afford to leave I would. The US is wonderful geographically and I would love to visit on a regular basis, but goddamn I can’t stand the average American.

Yeah I’ve traveled all over this country working remotely and there are definitely some small towns in the sticks where I thought to myself “Damn I’m glad I’m white” because the people just seemed like such backwater hicks or I heard them say some racial slur. And down South I’ve had some store clerks be super friendly to me or even give me free shit in ways I’m positive they would not have done if I didn’t look like I just stepped off a Viking longboat.

We traded infrastructure for tax cuts for the wealthy in the 80s under the cruel and/or moronic leadership of Reagan. Just another way Boomers screwed over their children and grandchildren to give themselves some quick bennies. The thing that really infuriates me is that half the country thinks he was a god because of relentless Republican propaganda. The only thing the GOP is good at is creating false narratives.
