I don ' t have to embrace shit this is America and you have to take that freedom from me <| sep |> Depends . If there ' s a charismatic enough leader in charge we ' ll say Bizzaro Aymeric it ' d be easy enough to get all of Isgard back again behind a banner of Okay this does suck but also , fuck those guys in particular . They ' ve been flying that banner for a thousand years . They can fly it a little longer . <| sep |> I appreciate you , Franklin . <| sep |> Dang ! I see you ' ve already granted 5 requests ! Thanks for helping out in the community <| sep |> We have a similar phenomenon here in the UK in recent decades workingclass people approximately bluecollar workers , service workers etc , who were traditionally the supporters of the Labour party like the Democrats but more lefter , have switched to become more in favour of the Conservatives like the Republicans minus the guns and Bibles , even though Conservative policies generally don ' t benefit poorer people . Meanwhile , a lot of the urban middle classes who are like your typical Blue State people have become more left wing it was especially evident with the Brexit vote , where a lot of the areas that voted most decisively to leave the EU were the poorer regions that got the most EU assistance . Admittedly this is speculation on my part , because I live in a metropolitan bubble in a statistical anomaly of a city that ' s one of the most consistently leftwing places in England despite being relatively deprived . So I don ' t actually know any poor Tory Conservative voters to ask . But I think it probably has a lot to do with who you identify with if you ' re Blue State , or the UK equivalent , then you look at the government and see people you have a lot in common with . For example it ' s likely that , like them , you ' re relatively educated , and that even if you ' re not rich you ' re also not so poor that you struggle to get by on a daily basis . While you probably don ' t agree with every LabourDemocrat policy ever , the people in those parties don ' t seem all that different from you , and you can more or less trust them to be acting in what they believe are the best interests of the country . If they say ' We need to put taxes up to benefit the poor ' then you can easily see the logic in that , because it ' s also the way you would help poor people if you were in their position . On the other hand , if you ' re Red State or equivalent then you probably have a lot less in common with the people in charge . Here , and I assume in the US too , gone are the days when a sizeable number of leftwing politicians were manual labourers and others from humble backgrounds whose genuine passion for social change eventually carried them to government . Now if you ' re a poor Red State person you ' re looking at just another group of corrupt , nepotistic fraudsters with a huge sense of entitlement , who claim to be acting in your best interests even though you ' ve seen fuck all improvement to your own day to day grind since they came to power . You feel they look down on you because you don ' t speak the way they do , or have a university education , even though overcoming the obstacles that your deprived upbringing presented is in many ways a more impressive achievement . Maybe you ' ve even had personal runins with the police or other state employees that confirm this feeling in your mind . And then those rich , privileged people , who live in a completely different world to yours and have no understanding of what your life is like , say ' We want you to give us more money and actually it ' s in your own best interests , because it ' s the only way we can afford to carry on helping you the way we have been '. It ' s not really surprising if you tell them to fuck right off . In that case it ' s the Republicanneoliberal ideal of reducing the power of government and by implication putting it back in your hands that appeals , not the idea that you should give the wealthy people in charge yet more money so you can get back what feels like a bigger handful of nothing . That ' s more or less how it is in the UK , anyway . In your country it also seems to incorporate a whole lot of other weirdness involving evangelism and shotguns that I ' m not even gonna pretend to understand , lol .
