First of all let's take a moment to appreciate that there's a dude out there with Tarzan as his legal name.
Afterwards, is this not fascinating? Republicans double down on Trump, even while he cuts programs they like. Red states receive more federal funding, are more dependent on the Federal government, than Blue states. Look at Food Stamps, Red states are higher recipients of federal funds for Food Stamps, because of the hits that rural America has taken in the last 20-30 years. Conservatives, either you willingly vote against your own interests or, you hate the Democrats so badly, that you refuse to look at the behavior and voting records of your candidates. If you elect Republicans they will cut programs that your community depends on. What will it take to deprogram the GOP propaganda? This article shows that people would rather let their communities suffer, than admit that they were wrong about politics. God*** Heritage foundation and FOX news.
Here in Oklahoma, I’ve been interviewing many people like McCracken — fervent Trump supporters who now find that the White House is trying to ax programs they have depended on, to pay for Trump’s border wall and for increases in military spending. And they’re upset.
“Why is building a wall more important than educating people?” asked Billy Hinkle, a Trump voter who is enrolled in a program called Tulsa WorkAdvance that trains mostly unemployed workers to fill well-paying manufacturing jobs. Trump has proposed eliminating a budget pot that pays for the program.
Another Trump supporter in the program, Tarzan Vince, put it this way: “If he’s preaching jobs, why take away jobs?
