What Carries Political Appeal in Rural USA?
Here’s Athena Brattin. She’s a candidate for the school board in Pleasant Hill, Missouri.
What the local voters are bound to like: she’s a white woman with cute, girlish dimples, and she’s toting a weapon of war. She says she cares about your kids, but she rejects the data/science concerning gun control and the safety of the nation’s children.
What’s not to like, considering she’s running in rural Missouri, a region that’s home to some of the most poorly educated people in the nation? Nothing whatsoever. She’s a shoe-in.
Even if Trump goes to prison on charges of treason or seditious conspiracy for his attempt to overthrow the U.S. government, these folks will remain his staunch supporters until long after his death.
If you want to be a part of all this, just remember that it’s not a pot-luck dinner where your homemade potato salad or lasagna will be a hit. Just bring guns. Big ones. You can’t lose.
