No crime is too sadistic, too brutal, too heinous if its done by a democrat, in the eyes of Harris voters. Truly despicable monsters

This culture, which became the dominant culture of most of these states and rural America as a whole, originated in the mountainous borderlands between Scotland and England, a wartorn area where no government had firm control. The result was a life characterized by tentative dwellings and violence, where you could only trust family and local leaders. Thinking was short term. Why save your money? It could get stolen. Education was secondary to survival skills.

Elites were distrusted, including the government, which failed to protect them, but also centralized religious authorities. Culture is remarkably conservative. The Scots-Irish maintained their fighting spirit, clan mentality and love of independence long after they migrated to America, still preferring the border regions where they could live on their own, unbothered by governments and practicing their religion as they saw fit. They still tended to rank low in education.

Yet when America was attacked (or attacking), they were the first to volunteer. Despite being a billionaire, Trump positioned himself as an outsider defending America from attacks from outsiders and corrupt elites within. He is very nationalistic and jingoistic. Whether he had the right policies was never the point - something people who don’t understand this culture cannot possibly grasp. Democrats are the enemy, no matter what their policies may be.

I have no doubt Trump knows all this and used it accordingly to win in 2016. He wasn’t even the first Republican to do it. It was called the southern strategy before.

I mean just fucking look at this. Did anyone seriously think tax policies or whatever the fuck could possibly win those people against THIS? Nothing could be more Scots-Irish than this. It’s how even illegal aliens who have been deported can be diehard Trump supporters. It’s not about policy. It was never about policy. It’s about attitude.

If you really don’t feel like reading or listening, just watch Braveheart again. That’s the culture.

It may also help you to know the natural and most prominent enemy of the Scots-Irish. That is the New England Puritan culture. They started with the Mayflower and migrated to dominate the blue states. They were the English middle class (business owners and such) and were SUPER religious.

Their religiosity drove them to place very high importance on education - because you can’t interpret the Bible for yourself if you can’t read it. Thus Harvard was founded only a few years after the colony itself. They viewed government as an extension of the people, and therefore as a positive force.

And there you have it, the cultures largely the same as they were in the 1700s: the hard-working, education-focused, government trusting northeastern culture; and the fighting, independent yet clannish southern culture that doesn’t care about education as much, butting heads for centuries.
