Another Pro-Trump Letter to the New York Times
(The New York Times has published an entire page of pro-Donald Trump letters to the editor because, apparently, a story every other week about Trump voters isn't enough. Here's one they probably wouldn't publish.)

Dear Editor,

Every morning, I awake from my oxy coma and thank Jesus for Donald Trump. I get up from the back of the 1987 Cutlass Supreme where I slept. It's broken down in a ditch just a mile or two from my mobile home that got repossessed. I stretch as best I can, what with this back problem from working in the coal mines across the state line in Kentucky, and I am glad that America is great again. Or it's on its way because Mr. Donald Trump is our president. I pop one of the two last oxy I've got, take a leak in the ditch, and grab my jacket before walking into town.

Because it's already noon by the time I get to Rogersville, and I know I'm gonna need to score soon, I go over to the post office to see if they've got my Social Security disability check. While I'm there, I salute a man with a MAGA hat and tell him, "God bless my president!" I'm not sure he can understand me because I lost most of my teeth, and I don't think I say the words so good anymore. But he smiles, and that's enough for me. I could sure use a dentist, but I'll just have to wait until the mobile dental clinic shows up in these parts. They come around about once a year, and the line is usually a couple of days long, but I know that it's worth it because I don't want no free doctors from the government. I'm fine with free doctors from a Christian charity, though.

I head over to the meat and three place where I can get a square meal and plenty to take home for just six bucks, and it's where Chet likes to meet because he's paid off the owner. Chet is always happy to see me on Social Security day. If he's in a good mood, he'll even buy my lunch. I walk in to Shelby's restaurant, and Fox News is on the TV. They're talking about how the liberals want more immigrants to come to America. Fuck that shit. Tell them Mexicans to just go on back and take their little brown children with 'em. I don't want no rapists and drug dealers here. If I could afford a gun, I'd go down to the border and shoot a couple of 'em to keep 'em out of here.

Chet comes in and sits opposite me. I've got a plate of fried chicken, corn, potatoes, and french fries. Chet tells me he's got some He-Man if I want to kick it up from the oxy. It costs more than the oxy, so I tell him that I'll just stick to what I know. I sign the back of my Social Security check and hand it over to him. He gives me back two full prescription bottles and a few hundred dollars. "Bank of Chet," I always tell him. "Better than a toaster." I ask him what he's gonna do with his Trump tax cut. Chet stares at me for a minute and starts laughing. He tells me he'll see me next week.

I pop a couple of the oxy because my back is just killing me. I turn to the TV and see them talking about coal mining jobs and how President Trump is bringing them back. I'd go back to the Perry #1 mine if they reopened it. I'm just waiting for the call. I'd take the regular income, back or no back. Maybe I'd get to see my kids again then. Maybe even get Willow to talk to me, if she doesn't try to steal my oxy like before.

As I walk back to the Cutlass to lay down for a while before I head out to the bar, I think about how much Donald Trump has done for me. How he has given me my country back. How he is bringing jobs back. How he cares about my problems as a working class man. How I can say, "Merry Christmas" again. How he talks tough to all those Muslims and Jews and fags. How he showed that bitch Hillary what for. And, mostly, how he ain't a goddamn nigger.

God bless him and his family. And God bless America.

Sincerely,

Maddox J. Maddox

1. LOL, that last paragraph

OMG. But you know what, it factual. Sad.

[olegramps]

35. The Right-Wing propaganda machine has done a marvelous job of alienation.

Just as many on this board, I am very concerned about the situation. Yes, the nation is polarized, but the cause is not shared equally. The Republicans set out forty years ago on a path that has had disastrous consequences. I am convinced that the repeal of the right to respond to vicious propaganda is the most important key to our present situation that can not be overstated. The right wing extremists began a systematic take over of the airways that allowed them to cultivate the absolute hatred of Democrats. This was coupled with their phony Family Values campaign to win the conservative Christian vote. Everyone who is the least informed know that the leaders of this movement are nothing more than hypocritical liars. They regard the this religious zealots as little more than ignorant useful idiots.

Trumpism is only the natural result of this situation. He is the commensurate conman's conman. He realized that regardless of his own moral failures and total lack of qualifications that he could promise them anything, regardless how asinine, and knew they would accept it as gospel truth. The MSM once again let down the American citizens and failed to denounce him as a dangerous demagogue while the right wing propagandists showered him with praise.

There is only one solution and that is the absolute defeat of the Republican Party at the polls. The Republican Party is the very antithesis of American values and has become a fascist blight on the nation that must be totally destroyed. It is they who are totally responsible for the present situation and any attempt of the phony MSM to represent it equally responsible must be refuted. The MSM's practice of false equivalency is nothing more that cowardly appeasement.

[malaise]

2. Rudie nails itas usual

Rec

[kpete]

3. harsh

but on the mark


peace to you malaise,
kp

[malaise]

5. Back at you sis

and we need harsh

[mcar]

4. That would be an LTE from a true Dotard lover!

[thbobby]

6. So depressing

I live in a small town in North Texas. I have talked to people very similar. Some guy that lost insurance and has a daughter that needs surgery. But loves trump and is sure his misfortune is because of blacks (he uses more colorful terminology). I have tried to help him get insurance, but he knows I am liberal and I don't know if he is following through on CHIP or Obamacare.

Another guy who thinks Democrats should just get over losing election. Strong opinions, impervious to reality. Earns minimum wage and is fairly intelligent. Knows that dark skinned people are ruining America.

Yet another who is 70 years old, on Medicare and Social Security. Can't understand why his medical expenses are too much for him to afford. Does know it is the fault of Black People (again, uses more colorful language). Has never voted in his life. Knew he could never vote for Hillary. Told me he wasn't prejudiced, but just thought people like Obama should stay on their own side of the tracks.

I could go on, but what is the point. So many people are consumed by hatred, blame problems on minorities, don't vote or vote against self interest. And are unable to be reasoned with.

I know this is Texas. Are Texans really this stupid? A lot are. I am so fucking frustrated.

[yardwork]

10. It's like this all over the country, in every single state.

[Dustlawyer]

11. The RW propaganda has been very successfull at

Programming these people. They deflect the anger of the people onto minorities, liberals, and foreigners instead of the Plutocrats where it belongs!

[NewJeffCT]

19. its' been like that for a while

A lot of these rural areas get their news from: (1) their churches, (2) Fox News and (3) Talk Radio. Plus, most of the small town newspapers have been bought up by right wingers over the past few decades.

They've been told that Democrats/liberals/minorities are the fault for everything bad in their lives day in and day out for decades. Of course it's going to have an effect.

There is no local Democratic Party organization almost all of these small towns to offer rebuttal, or even to show them that Democrats are human beings who share many of their problems.

[slumcamper]

24. Agree wholeheartedly!

This is really worth thinking about. RW propaganda has actually transformed the values of people in such a way that some individuals reject the societal perspective upon which the concept of "common good" relies. For such individuals, RW propaganda has managed to disparage and demonize government to the extent that its capacity to function as a benevolent force in people's lives is no longer valued.

A question that nags me is this: Why has the Democratic Party and party leaders at all levels been so terribly inept in challenging this propaganda? The claims of RW propagandists have met little resistance and have largely gone unchecked, and the well of public opinion has been poisoned.

[Mopar151]

38. This! n/t

[diva77]

41. Excellent point, can't be stated often enough.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. Same strategy worked towards end of Weimar Republic in Germany.

Corruption goes with propaganda like revoking regulations goes with republicOns.

[Iliyah]

30. Welfare Queens Black Women, Brown Women

Thugs = Black and Brown Men

Lazy = Black and Brown

Moochers = Black and Brown

Reality, Whites are number one on Welfare.

[hueymahl]

20. Sounds familiar

Common thoughts in rural Georgia and pretty much everywhere in Alabama and the Florida panhandle. What is even more depressing to me are the ones that are aware the Trump is destroying America, but still tell me he's "better than Hillary".

[Juliusseizure]

27. Propaganda or are they just immoral?

Even a young child recognizes a lie. They can react differently. One can see the results obtained and emulate it, another can become very upset by the thoughtlessness of it.

So yes there's that propaganda, but its hate filled lies for a hate filled agenda, and they're still drawn to it and accept it. Others in those communities are democrats, or at least not drawn to it.

Bluntly, if you're still a Trump supporter given his daily immoral, sociopathic actions, that makes you immoral. Its just a matter of degree, but that's where you lean or comfortably fit on the moral spectrum.

[Oppaloopa]

36. You are a good person for living there. I know I couldn't. Florida is bad enough.

[mountain grammy]

40. Same here, but the trumpers I know

Are comfortable, some retired, religion and stupidity. I’m sick of both.

[heaven05]

7. 'bout right

for at least 60million.

[dchill]

8. This guy is living MY dream!

But I know I'll never find that '87 Cutlass.

[MrScorpio]

16. Sweet ride.

[fob]

37. That's a Buick Grand National, a sweet ride

And decidely NOT what Maddox j Maddox would be driving. His 87 Cutlass, which is not too undissimilar in appearance from the GN shown, would be rusty, door handle broken, rollin on at least one tiny donut spare tire and the heat don't work. Oh, and if it weren't for the black man, Maddox would have the bitchin' Buick. At least he thinks so.

[NBachers]

42. Not to mention the shredded, leaking vinyl top

[world wide wally]

9. Yeah, I know that guy

And he is pretty smart since he spends so much time at the library.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. Sounds like some of my neighbors

Here in east TN, Rogersville is only a 30 minute drive away.

People living in run down trailers with SUVs costing more than their homes had Trump yard signs along with the Southern swastika flag. I live here too, not trying to stereotype my state, but the countryside is heart breakingly beautiful and if you work hard you can get the ground to give up a crop or 2. Not to mention it's perfect for sheep.

So, yeah I do not understand why they think a rich pampered con artist would help them out just because they hate darker skin too. But now and then, I explain to a few of them how Trump has made it worse for them and they tell me they are no longer RepubliCON but Independent now. Drip, drip, drip.

[Wounded Bear]

18. It's been my experience that "Independents" aren't really...

Most I've encountered continue to bash "evil libtards" and will vote reliably red.

I don't find that hopeful at all.

[Farmer-Rick]

23. Well they use to identify with the tea baggers

And I had them tell me they were going to vote for Bernie.

So, it's somewhat better.

[Snotcicles]

13. If only all those who don't think like them would just show up to vote. They would get crushed. nt

[MontanaMama]

14. I deal with these

same people everyday on the phone and in our business. They are so predictable and so exhausting.

[Paladin]

15. Gotta love the reference to the "Perry #1" coal mine. (nt)

[Ilsa]

17. I wonder if Willow is Bristol's sister? nt

[burrowowl]

21. LOL!

rofl: :

[gibraltar72]

22. Amen Brother!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. goddamn, that Rude is good.

Western NY state has its maga-codones too.

[saidsimplesimon]

28. Thank you, kpete

I checked my 8 ball and..I am feeling lucky. The following video is a wee bit vulgar, Ren and Stimpy. My house was the place for children, back in the day. They understood, I do not like vulgar language or x-rated vids. This was the show they watched behind by back.

If anyone complains, I will not be offended by a "hide" rating.

[annabanana]

33. Ren & Stimpy would have been perfectly suited to the Age of Trump!

They got the whole zeitgeist ..

[Nitram]

29. Yup, that sounds about right.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. Harsh...but on the money.

No pun intended. Between TRP and The Ferret, there is always something to lift the mood.

[Upthevibe]

32. Logic and facts are simply not a component in this equation....

A friend and I were talking last night about how people vote against their own interests because of their emotions....

[eppur_se_muova]

34. NYTimes sure cleaned up the spelling -- do they always do that for pro-45 letters ? nt

[efhmc]

39. Unsubscribed today.

Sad to say,
