Summary
Despite broken promises like the return of factory jobs, Donald Trump continues to gain support in Ohio’s rust belt, including Youngstown, a former Democratic stronghold.
Voters feel abandoned by both parties but resonate with Trump’s anti-establishment rhetoric and perceived authenticity.
Economic decline, disillusionment with political elites, and anger over issues like trade deals and student debt forgiveness fuel their frustration.
Many voters believe Trump’s willingness to “tear down the system” aligns with their grievances, even as doubts remain about his solutions.
Their bitterness reflects decades of industrial decline and neglect.
It also reflects their obscene lack of education to think they’re doing anything but making their own situation worse.
You can be bitter all you want, it doesn’t make you any less of a fucking idiot. Be bitter about it some more, dumbfucks, like I fucking care.
When the authoritarians come for them, I certainly won’t stand for them, because they sure as fuck wouldn’t stand for me. You reap what you sow, and the only thing these people are sowing is hate and ignorance.
Their only economic importance is their vote. Now that they’ve voted they will be neglected, not directly abused. Kinda like a pimp leading his hoes to think he cares about them.
Look no further than Rudy Guilliani. Dude is just entrenched in legal battles. Thats the future for you in MAGA.
They know the Democrats don’t intend to make their situation better. The only thing either party had/has to offer is vibes and to them Trump had better vibes; it’s that simple.
