(18,186 posts)Of course, I live in the South, in areas where there was not any huge hippie movement, but even poor Appalachians who always supported Dems are switching to the Jeebus Money party in the hopes that they will please Jeebus and make lots of money.
And put them uppity "others" out of bidness. They key to their betrayal of the party. Who needs fair working conditions or a social safety net when you can take away other people's rights to simply exist?
But my cousins and sibs are clueless about poverty, social justice, etc. My brother is a Dem elite, travels the world but very judgmental of the poor; my sister is a fundy; my cousins are in various states of competition/apathy for the most part.
To me, they are sellouts. DU shows the degree. Not all are sellouts, of course, but there are not enough people in my generation willing to secure a future for the next generations. It's all about the next quarter/leased car/episode/smartphone.
Just my opinion, of course.
Peace.
