Do we really want to talk about ****holes? Most of Trump country is depleted, rusty, and windswept. Nobody has a decent paying job or quality educations. Literacy rates are low compared to the productive parts of the US. They are of ill health. They cling to religious superstitions. They are takers who rely on federal assistance. Anyone with any sort of ambition and dream for a better life has to leave to find it.
I would rather live in Lagos than Mississippi, given those two options.

I lived in an area that was populated heavily by Trump voters until about a year ago. My neighbors were a couple consisting of a Nurse Practitioner and a Nurse, a retired police detective, a home builder, a surgeon, a nice retired lady and a VP of IT security for a firm in Jacksonville, FL. I don't think anyone was on federal assistance or couldn't read, but congrats to them if they were able to build houses and perform surgery while being illiterate (srs they must have been really good at their jobs).
Was considered rural US and populated by the nicest people I've ever been around.

Agreed, only rural and suburban retards voted for Drumpf.
Us superior city people all voted for Madame President.
How DARE he call ****hole countries ****holes? Doesn't he know that even though rural America has a million times higher standard of living by every conceivable metric, it's only ok for liberals to make fun of those people, but not for him to point out what ****holes other places are?
I LITERALLY CANNOT EVEN.

Lived in Midlothian, Texas. Loved it. Acre and a half, 1800 square foot house, 4 bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom. The grocery store trip would be a planned weekend event, and we had a freezer for storage.
Had to move, though. Internet availability was terrible, and my school and job needed more bandwidth.
I'm sure it's more industrialized now, but it was great country living. No burn laws, so we had a gun range in the backyard. Great people, we had fresh banana bread, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies our first couple of weeks of moving there. While some voted Trump, others I keep in contact with said they penciled in Cruz lol.Moved Squat, Bench, and Deadlift to Yoke, Log, and Stones.

You're one of the worst posters on this forum (srs)
You probably think those places are full of racists too right? OMG, white rust belt America, full of anti-black folk!
Rural America is who grows a lot of the food you eat. Nothing worse than a metro liberal who only knows big city living. At least the Dems from places like Montana understand what rural America actually is.

Civic Center BART station. A few hundred yards from the SF City Hall and opera house.

For example, a March 2016 NBC survey that we analyzed showed that only a third of Trump supporters had household incomes at or below the national median of about $50,000. Another third made $50,000 to $100,000, and another third made $100,000 or more and that was true even when we limited the analysis to only non-Hispanic whites.
Also,
And, second, although more than 70 percent of Trump supporters didn’t have college degrees, when we looked at the NBC polling data, we noticed something the pundits left out: during the primaries, about 70 percent of all Republicans didn’t have college degrees, close to the national average (71 percent according to the 2013 Census).

I live in a the capital of arguably the most liberal state in America. Let me just tell you about the tent cities we have here. Just madness.
Also, it's so funny that liberals are so offended at Trump calling ****hole countries ****holes, but have no problem calling the fly over states **** holes. hypocrisy at its finest, which is, of course, to be expected by the left at this point.-You are only as strong as your weakest link-
