This is spot on. I live in the rural South, and NAFTA and other policies the democrats pushed have decimated communities here. Most good paying jobs have disappeared and have been replaced by minimum wage jobs at Walmart. When I moved to Tennessee 25 years ago my congressional rep was a democrat and we had lots of democrats in government. After 2010 democrats totally abandoned us and now we're basically a one party theocracy. It's depressing.
Thank you Salmun for stating this so succinctly.
