Crowd cheers when valedictorian quotes Trump. Then reveals it was Obama

[HomerJS]

Shallowness of Trump supporters on full display. Revealed by some snot nose high school kid. One of these days they will realize being victims of Trump's big con.

True but it would have been great if it had given them pause to think. Instead they let it fit comfortably in their skin to look and be stupid. That's one of the heartbreaking things to me that ignorance thinks it deserves a voice.

Life isn't easy being raised a Christian and told the dangers of hate and then being filled with it anyway. It requires some rather powerful mental gymnastics to juggle the hypocrisy. They do get a lot of practice, however.

The premise doesn't make any sense. Except for Trump rallies, very few crowds would be pro-Trump.

Except they were in Southeastern Kentucky. Probably some shithole very pro-Trump area. As the speaker confided:

“I just thought it was a really good quote,” Bowling said. “Most people wouldn’t like it if I used it, so thought I’d use Donald Trump’s name. It is southeastern Kentucky after all.

From the article:

Bell County, which is located in the southeastern part of the Commonwealth near the Tennessee border, overwhelmingly supported Trump in the 2016 Presidential election. Nearly 80 percent of ballots were cast for the political outsider and celebrity.

Anthony Bourdain did a show in one of those areas. The people seemed nice enough, but holy moly did it look depressing. The worst part of living there would be the frustration of watching people act against their own interests over and over. As if some real estate swindler from NYC (or any republican) is going to bring back the glory days of 1920 or whatever.

I thought that was a Vice documentary.

Just a small sample of the roughly 100 million Americans that have been conditioned from birth to believe that liberals are subhuman and can't do a single thing right.

I spent a couple days in Pulaski, TN (the birthplace of the KKK) a couple decades ago. My girlfriend's family is from there and I got to meet a bunch of them. How delightful to hear the n-word thrown around in the same matter-of-fact tone as "pass the butter, please". They are so racist it's just down in the bones. I went to her cousin's wedding, where vows like "do you promise to honor your husband, even if he is harsh in his punishment" were uttered. I'm like, get me out of the fucking 18th century already and let me get back to civilization....

I'm in Southeast Texas, and it's exactly the same here. It always strikes me as bizarre - these fools have a whole lot more in common with their black neighbors than they do with anyone from Houston (where I'm from).
