This is why you shouldn’t feed trolls, because when an obvious troll is banned and the post is cornfielded, it’s only going to cause confusion when people can’t find the original post that many have quoted. I can edit out the quote in each of your replies (and in MPSIMS and CS, I usually do, if the mods don’t just delete posts that reply to trolls entirely), but that’s a bit too much involvement I’m willing to do with others posts. Suffice to say, the post/troll is gone now, so the questions might go unanswered. ---

> [@asahi](#): > > Nobody said they’re rich, but what is “rich” anyway? I talk a lot of people in rural America on a fairly regular basis. They might not have all have college degrees, but they’re not as poor as you think. They’re insecure and they have anxieties about their future prospects and those of their children, but actually, a lot of rural midwesterners are financially better off than a lot of educated millennials. You might think that because they don’t have a college degree that they’re ‘poor’ – not necessarily the case at all. Did you see _Mississippi Burning_? A Black sharecropper (I think that was his job) was driving an FBI agent past the White next-door neighbor’s farm, telling the agent that although his and the White sharecropoer’s farms were the same size and produced the same, the Black man’s farm was worth far more. The FBI agent asked how that could be. The Black man said, “I don’t live next-door to a n~”. Those rural idiots supporting Trump, and especially those supporting his Muslim ban, consider themselves rich if they don’t live next-door to a Muslim or someone else they’re bigoted against. Yes, it really is that simple. This last election taught us that–in spades, you might say. ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > What’s a “Migger?” The Rural Dictionary has at least three different definitions that fit: muslim-, mexican- and magic-. The second one is kind of odd. It seems to mean a mexican who behaves like they want to be black. The third one, well, someone made a song about “Barack the magic negro”, to the tune of _Puff the Magic Dragon_. Very, um, creative, those RWs. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Which is why the evil side of me wants the Republicans to pass Trumpcare. Yes, many innocent people will be harmed. But many of Dolt 45’s supporters will learn what it is they voted for, after having been told numerous times that losing their own benefits is what they’re voting for. It’s not that I don’t have compassion. It’s just that I’ve run out of sympathy. Well, I would agree with you if Trump supporters were the only ones who would get screwed. Unfortunately, a lot of others would be hurt also. I would probably still have insurance, but would have to pay several times as much for premiums as I do with the plan I got on the exchange with ACA. ---
