Why didn't they move to farm country and take the $10/hr jobs that are offered to American workers? Americans used to move to where the jobs are. Now, they just sit on their asses and complain about how the government doesn't bring them jobs.
The Great Recession changed people's moving rates. If you think people aren't still scared, then I assume you don't know anyone affected by the Great Depression.
The Great Depression saw lots of people moving for jobs, and it was a damn hell harder to move back then than it is today. Spare me the "you don't know what it's like". My father was a blue collar worker in a manufacturing plant who got laid off; I also at one point got laid off. Neither of us blamed the government. We updated our skills and found a new job. That's called personal responsibility. Oh, and he had limited English skills, to boot.
Thank you. I'm black and my dad had a 3rd grade education. You know what, he didn't blame anyone. He sent his kids to college. My parents SOLD THEIR HOUSE to send me to college. They made a huge sacrifice. Poor white folks need to make the same sacrifices. Stop playing the victim card.
Now that my parents made the sacrifice, I am a lawyer and I will enjoy reading the classics and enjoying fine wine

Why do voters in the red states think Trump is going to solve all of their problems? They already have Republican mayors, governors, state legislatures, congressmen and senators and yet, things are still bad for them. If they really want change, why not enact it on the local level? Why do they think Trump will change anything? I see no explanation for it beyond being brainwashed by Fox News and the Alt Right and not having the brain power to really think about their lot.
Garrison Keillor has said it best:
We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids and we Democrats can go for a long brisk walk and smell the roses.
I will enjoy my tax cuts under Trump and if none of those people are better off in 4 years. Not my problem.
It is true. We tried to be good. We tried to help them. Now, let's just enjoy how fabulously wealthy we will be with all those tax cuts, have great meals, enjoy the arts, and hang out in trendy cafes.
Love this.

What I was saying is that my grandparents were permanently scarred by the Great Depression. Why is it surprising that people today were scarred by the Great Recession?
The rate of families moving has decreased significantly, a phenomenon that started in 2008. People are irrationally fearful.
Most of the younger families have already moved to where the jobs are. Many small towns are entirely older people. They also have a high and increasing suicide rate.
And does that fear prevent them from moving to where the jobs are? The Great Depression was worse than the Great Recession, but those people moved or did what they had to do to survive. They didn't have a lot of the social welfare we have today.
Let's face it. Our society has become way more entitled and whimpy. And it is that irrational fear that got Trump elected.

I am a big supporter of ACA or at least keeping it and fixing the issues. I have been paying 30 to 33% in taxes for the past 10 yrs which has been supporting many of our veterans, schools, some of the Trump supporters.
Now, I'll enjoy my tax cuts and lower healthcare premiums. I will spend my money on vacations overseas. I will do what Trump supporters have been asking for - let Trump's government deal with it all.

Exit polls have shown that among educated whites the vote was split along the lines of 60/40 with HRC getting close to 60 and Trump a bit over 40.

Same reason the heroin and crack epidemics that are plaguing white communities right now were not worth addressing 15-20 years ago. Instead it was 'throw the users in jail'. Now its 'save my baby'. The hypocrisy is amazing.
