why are people on this site so preoccupied with poor people?
I guarantee these "poor" people give less than a frick about people on a message board.

most live in LA
poor people have basically destroyed the state and its future
why wouldn't people surrounded by these pathologies discuss them?

No politicians who cater/use them destroyed it.

Just another "us vs them" tribal conflict. Everyone likes to feel superior.

It’s kinda a chicken or egg thing. Do poor people vote because politicians cater to them or vice versa..

I think your thinking of the welfare-ridden redneck. I don't think most ghettos in the urban setting are very patriotic, if any. Most lower to upper middle class red blooded Americans who work all week and are not on hand-outs are optimistic about the direction this country is going since Trump. However, the optimism was there during bush and Obama too, but that economy never panned out.

that and most of the real "bait" used is federal-based anyway

politicians cater to whoever will get them elected
if politicians continually cater to poor people and they continue to get elected, I think it is pretty clear which is the driver of the issue

Well I was more referring to historically, like the Kingfish and share our wealth.

I you have 'zero wealth' in this country you're lazy or stupid.

True, but they aren't elected by poor people. The voting habit of poor people is very bad.
Todays poor don't bear much resemblance to the poor of years gone by though.

"Why would poor and working-class people be so patriotic? This country has failed them. Is this a form of false consciousness?"
Because here, poor people don't have to remain poor. That's literally why people immigrate here. This country has not failed them (yet); MSM and higher education has. They give a false narrative.
Americans are patriotic because we have the best country--it really is that simple.

Why do you start shitty threads? The Website servers would like to know this.

They also differentiate between themselves and the government and say, “What happened to me is my responsibility.”
This is probably the most bullsh*t thing I will read today. Most of the poor people I've met blame everything and everyone except themselves for their predicament.
