Dear NYT opinion:
I must say in 2018 there is one overlooked group of Americans that we should feel sympathetic for.
The white republican centre of the USA is being used as a vast Vote Farm and these people are treated like political livestock.
Very sad to see a once proud people being subjected to paranoia based mind control bombarded with propaganda, fenced into voting areas and forced into breeding by removing reproductive rights.
Not realising their children are highly prized as pawns for the military and corporations thus breaking up family groups.
Sadly these vote farms are monoculture societies and religious tyrannies that are not as economically vibrant as the dynamic coastal areas of the continent, that now are areas where they can no longer afford to move to unless they are young and strong with a Republican stronghold to go to.
Like the Mexicans before the fence went up they can venture out for work in unpleasant jobs to earn money to bring home if they want to keep their family together, as long as they don't pick up any fancy intellectual Ideas... or learn of unions... or the big wide world beyond the oceans. and true freedom.
