Yeah and it’s a good piece, but there’s a huge hole or two in the reasoning. Namely that rural areas are aiding and abetting the forces that beat them down despite clear and rational evidence - in abundance - to that fact.

They’ve given up on reason. They’re hoodwinked, bamboozled, conned, and every other synonym despite clear facts and science.

And cities bad is not new, but it’s also where their hero lives. So ?

Also the thing about cheering for assholes is kinda thin.

I think it’d be better to make these arguments through the media trump voters consume. That’s the underlying mechanic of his argument anyway.

That tracks, it’s Jason Pargin. He’s the king of oversimplifying an argument and then hammering it into the ground, but it’s always at least entertaining.

…but it’s always at least entertaining.

Careful, that’s how I used to hear Joe Rogan described.

There’s a pretty wide fucking chasm between Jason Pargin and Joe Rogan, but I take your point. Honestly I’m not sure it’s necessarily a bad thing, the left could use a Roganesque figure; especially one who isn’t afraid to call people on their bullshit rather than buy into it.
