Don't be disingenuous here -- the problems he describes are endemic to poor white communities big and small. Prescription drug abuse is a massive mainstream phenomenon. So is giving up on job hunting in favor of posting anti-Obama screeds on Facebook to pass the time. The growing and sympathetic media analysis of the pathologies, dashed hopes, and crippling externalities -- forces beyond their control -- faced by poor Trump voters is a perfect example of the double standard faced by blacks and Latinos, whose identical problems are casually written off and attributed to "culture" and the politics of victimization.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote:If Kevin Williamson actually believes that Owsley County is representative of the white working class, he’s foolish.

"What thrived in the wasteland Republican leaders created? Resentment, hatred," Reid said.
..
Republicans also have rejected science and other evidence that supported Democratic policies, such as on climate change and gun violence, he said.
"Even basic facts about the state of the economy," he said. "It’s no wonder Americans feel powerless."
Reid added that he believes this all helped to foster the rise of the Tea Party -- a wave he said is driven by "some of the darkest forces in our culture."
Birther Movement
And there have been other byproducts of Senate Republican actions, said Reid, that have helped kick off what he called "the Donald Trump movement."
Those included, he said, pushing the idea that Obama’s presidency was somehow illegitimate, including through the birther movement, which promoted the false story that Obama was born in Kenya.
"And who was the most prominent Republican in the birther movement? Yeah, Donald Trump," said Reid. "The Republican Party has become without question the party of Donald Trump."
"If McConnell and Ryan think that Donald Trump’s racist, xenophobic demagoguery is wrong, they should not support him -- period," Reid said. "If they refuse to revoke their support for Trump, they should both put on ‘Make America Great Again’ hats, and stand behind Trump at his next press conference."
But they haven’t rejected Trump, he said. "This is precisely the type of moral cowardice" that led to Trump’s rise, he added.

. . Trump’s rivals were hesitant to take him on, seeing the number he did on “little Marco,” “low energy” Jeb, and “Lyin’ Ted.” But the Big Media—the Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times—have been relentless and ruthless.
Yet Trump’s strength with voters seemed to grow, pari passu, with the savagery of their attacks. As for National Review, The Weekly Standard and the accredited conservative columnists of the big op-ed pages, their hostility to Trump seems to rise, commensurate with Trump’s rising polls.
As the Wizard of Oz was exposed as a little man behind a curtain with a big megaphone, our media establishment is unlikely ever again to be seen as formidable as it once was.
And the GOP? Those Republicans who assert that a Trump nomination would be a moral stain, a scarlet letter, the death of the party, they are most likely describing what a Trump nomination would mean to their own ideologies and interests.
