Especially those who voted for Harris and Walz.

Uneducated doesn’t mean stupid, it means they didn’t have the financial resources to attend college, or they didn’t want to go to college. Lots and lots of very smart people don’t have a college degree.

You are either going to continue to judge and disparage these people, or connect with them and earn their vote. Your choice.

Anyone under the age of 50 had options for college if they were smart. Yes it might be a couple years of cc, and then on to state college, but Pell grants etc make it viable for most people. Why would they not want to go to college?

Case study: our niece in a red state, college dropout, dated a local country meth addict who died in prison, but not before she had two of his kids out of wedlock. She works as a teacher’s aid. She is obese and diabetic.

She refused to vaccinate and ended up hospitalized with Covid and being put on oxygen. But after that she continued to bad mouth vaccines.

She received government assistance as a single mother, but she and her family complain about lazy people on government handouts.

She voted for Trump not because she wants to do better for herself, but to take away the benefits from other poor f@cks - the illegals.

That and Jesus. She hopes Trump brings Jesus back into schools and government because everything is going downhill due to Jesus missing.

Being Christian makes her feel a little bit better than others, righteous.

Anonymous wrote:There’s a pipeline from parenting to alt right.

I own a social media agency, and a couple years back I was researching some brands for market research for a client, a couple of which were parenting brands. While I was digging around, I found they had ties to extreme right wing organizations. And they market to parents, especially moms, by instilling fear that bad things will happen to their kids.

So they start with fairly benign parenting things, but over time get sucked in and next thing you know, there are books bans and everyone is homeschooling because schools are “indoctrination”. Moms go extreme far right because of the anxiety over their children. There’s a reason Trump focuses on trans - convince everyone their kids are going to be brainwashed into mutilating their genitals, and you’re gold.

It was pretty shocking for me to see this. The far right has gotten EXTREMELY good at marketing. There are several pipelines in place, including parenting, health/nutrition (why do you think so many of them sell supplements and Andrew Huberman is on the right wing podcast circuit?), crypto, dating/marriage, holistic/natural, etc. Many of which are female-focused.

And Fox News is one of the most brilliant marketers out there. Even the colors and sound effects they use are designed to put people into a state of fight or flight so they purchase from ads.

And there’s no left wing parenting pipeline?

Given how many parents are allowing their children to choose their gender, I would say their most clearly is.

See, this is the rhetoric the alt right uses to suck parents in.

Books are dangerous, schools are propaganda, vaccines cause autism, kids who go to daycare are traumatized, middle school girls are becoming boys, grown men will go into bathrooms and defile your girls.

When the data shows a completely different story. For example, about 1.4% of kids in the US identify as trans - which is actually on the lower end of the global range of 1.2-2.2%.

But making moms anxious about their kids is a great way to suck them in.

However I am hopeful. I was raised in an alt right evangelical family and it made all my siblings go far left. Love my family of origin but we all realize how insane they all are.

This. And they don’t have much earning power on their own. Many of them are dependent on their men and thus defer to them.
