    Oh yeah dude it’s fucking nuts. I live in a populated area of Illinois on the Iowa border (about 400k pop in the area). But when you get about 5 miles out of the city in any direction farmland starts.

    These farmers sit there taking government subsidizes while bitching about SNAP and welfare. It’s the most ridiculous hypocritical shit ever. And they all vote Republican, zero shits who it is.

      I grew up in a very rural area and that explains most conversations I would have with people in that area.

      “Welfare” was for the blahs and people considered The Other; but all the benefits these people got? Well, that was something else, because they were white.
