That's been such a winning plan for middle America, hasn't it? They rise up, only to vote for the politician, usually Republican, who panders to them most. That same politician who will then proceed to do absolutely nothing to help them, and often vote for policies that hurt them.

So we can either ignore middle America and let them continue this self-destructive cycle, or can point it out. Which will then make them mad and they'll continue voting in the useless pricks who do nothing to help them.

I know you tried to make your statement sound like a threat. But I live in the rural Midwest. I've seen the politicians voted in at the local level. Politicians like Brownback who have trashed the state. It's cutting your nose off to spite your face, as Mom used to say.
