I don’t know why poor rural people think Trump will go out of his way to help them. He’s a snob from NY who looks down on those types. But then so do liberals and they don’t even pretend to care, so of course they’re gonna vote Trump. Same reason why minorities vote Democrat. You’ve gotta vote for the party that least pretends to care and I don’t blame them for that.
I don't think that Democrats look down on the poor as they are the ones putting together safety net programs and expanding medicade. I believe the perception exist due due to an emphasis put on education democrats and educated democrats will help the poor regardless of party, they don't hold their tongue when someone starts dropping slurs or saying stupid shit. I think there is an expectation by educated liberals that uneducated people should understand accepted norms.
The contrary to this is that republicans won't call out bad behavior no matter how bad it is by anyone in the party but will rob you blind and cut every program for the poor.
There is a significant group of people that would rather not have someone call them out for calling people fgs or using the n-word than having government safety net programs.
