    People living in rural areas don’t see issues with homelessness, healthcare, transit, trans-rights, gay-rights, ect. They are in a bubble shut off from most of that. All they see is the taxes the government takes.

      Man, I’m gonna be straight with you I don’t see the homeless issue because I live in snowy flyover country and if there’s a state not to be fucking homeless… well it’s probably Alaska, but we’ve gotta be in the top 10, anyway. Transit? We don’t have any. No one fucking cares. Buy a god damned car. Healthcare? I’m ignorant of healthcare issues other than in my experience it fucking sucks more the higher the population density is.

      Human rights. LTBTQ rights. Women’s rights. Yeah I get that. I’m with you. It’s not my personal issue as such, but I have women in my life. Gay people. Trans people. Because I don’t live in a fucking cave and people are people everywhere.

      But I didn’t say all that to sound like an asshole. I really didn’t. I’m a little punchy. I didn’t sleep last night. I’m saying, I’m so extremely privileged that I can identify with people who say none of those issues are my fucking problem and I still don’t want that fucker anywhere near the god damned Whitehouse.

        I’m just really privileged as an Oregonian and hope to someday be extremely privileged and move to Alaska!
