Why ‘white trash’ Americans are flocking to Donald Trump

When J.D. Vance was a boy, his beloved grandmother “Mamaw” told her boozer husband that if he ever came home drunk again, she’d kill him. When he did, and passed out on the couch, she got a gasoline can, poured fuel all over him and dropped a lit match on his chest. He survived with mild burns, and later quit drinking.

One time when J.D.’s mom took exception to something the boy said in the car, she hit the accelerator and sped up to 100 miles per hour, screaming that she was going to kill them both. When he jumped in the backseat hoping to protect himself from the impact, he recalls, she instead pulled the car over “to beat the s- -t out of me.” The evening concluded with Mom being hauled away in a police car.

One of J.D.’s stepdads, Bob, though kindhearted, had a bad case of “Mountain Dew mouth.” Half his teeth had fallen out, the other half were black, brown and misshapen.

I am not clicking on this article to give them revenue. Does the article get better than the disgusting and insulting paragraphs that you posted? If not, it is typical uniparty, establishment nonsense. Can you imagine if a conservative described blacks the way this author describes “white trash”?

Well that is a charming headline, I hope who had the guts to post this really enjoys it...Hillary supporter I would imagine...

As if we don’t have enough to contend with in this nation, we have to have people post crap that the media twits put out about OUR candidate...thought this was a Trump board now??? Maybe I’m wrong...

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
WB Yeats

Sad that liberals are so stupid to think they can do without white people even when they are white.

And they ignore the fact that millions of college-educated voters prefer Trump.

Like me.

Would the NY Post publish “Why black trash is flocking to Hillary Clinton?”

“Half his teeth had fallen out, the other half were black, brown and misshapen.”

I thought Racial stereotyping like this was the realm OF white trash and had been eliminated from Academia....?

Sorry this is what the Post did with it.

Any condescension went right over my head. To me, the review didn't seem out of touch with what Vance said in an interview I read. It seemed sympathetic enough--it actually made me want to read the book more than the interview had. Sounds like a great book, and a crucial one, to understand the country and time we actually inhabit.

The demographics on TV would make you believe that 30 percent of Americans were white, and most of those only interested in prescription drugs you need to discuss with your doctor or medical professional.

Meanwhile, an ancestral voice is saying, "Hold muh beer and watch this!"
