Republicans despise working-class Americans, it couldn't be more obvious.

Fired Fed jobs have been reinstated because of court orders, what made them follow those?

Apparently Kentucky has a history of voting blue governors and red everything else.

I think it's sub-conscious self-hatred projected onto others. They are fractured, damaged people, that, from an early age were told that their vulnerabilities were weaknesses. Their inability to accept themselves as they are causes them to wreak havoc on the world searching for enough tangible reasons (power, fame, money) so that they finally can.

You also need to be clueless about off-road and towing capabilities. I see an odd similarity to this car as the Hummer brand in the 2000s.

It seems the point is to show just how well many aspects of our government were actually working for us before a band of malicious idiots began damaging it.

Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. Community has been on a slow decline in America since 1965. The combination of an increasingly isolated population and a 24-hour propaganda news cycle aimed to pit you against your neighbor has been a wild success.
