And what a future America and the world will have with Trump and Vance!
The Orange Fuhrer selected JD as his running mate because he is the Grovelling Old Party (GOP)'s 'representative of the mountain people of the Appalachians.'
I could point to a much better representative of the mountain people. Joe Bageant, author of 'Deer-hunting with Jesus, Dispatches from America's class war' 2007 ISBN 9781921215780 (pbk). Mine is the Australian edition (publ. Scribe) of this important book from a man whose soul remains with the community that gave him birth. They are referred to in my native Ireland as 'mountainy men.'
In Ireland also as in the Appalachians the coal is found on the high plateaus (Kilkenny) and on the tops of mountains - well, one mountain, Arigna, in County Leitrim.
J D Vance talks and behaves like one who has turned to the other side, the side of power and wealth, whom the Republicans have allowed legally to decapitate and strip-mine Appalachia to get at the coal and to throw the piles of debris down the flanks of those same mountains to block, disfigure and pollute the once-beautiful valleys and fish-filled rivers of Appalachia. The mountain people are left abandoned, to live in poverty while the looters and plunderers depart with the wealth.
My life partner refers to people like Vance as 'turncoat.' I agree with her.
Vance, Trump and the MAGA Mega-churches rate the Hillbillies and Rednecks lower than Hillary did. She called them 'Deplorables.' It cost her the Presidency. Trump and his fully-owned Groveling Old Party treat them as idiots, easily fooled.
The Appalachian Mountain People could have a better spokesman who should be heard.
Why do I keep asking myself what can I do to stop this? I have tried in my own community to volunteer for the cause yet there is nothing to apply to their is nothing that has been organized for the Democratic Party.There are a million ways that I can donate money to them. That’s all they want from me is my vote and my money.
Yesterday I watch three young kids sell Trump flags ( no Vance on any signs) that are huge door to door. My neighbor bought one for $350.00 he was just complaining to me that he has to pay $250 deductible a year for his medical care he’s 86 years old and both his wife unfortunately have cancer and spend four days a week for chemotherapy. That it’s the best $350 he’s ever spent for the cause and wishes he could afford ten times that amount . I can only shake my head
