Trump voter 'These people here are genuine Americans'



The BBC's Sophie Long visited the US state of Montana to hear what voters think of President Trump....'Fly over country where the genuine Americans live?!?!?!' Good grief, delusional thinking on a grand scale. Do you think they realise how racist they are?

Genuine Americans are thick as a brick and half as smart?

A country like that would NEED and deserve a dictator if that were the case. They wouldn't know what to do without somebody telling them forcefully, so I think that explains part of the problem. Mental vacuity in Dunning-Krugerville.

I am glad they are a minority that is just being inflated like a dumb ass balloon and being made into useful idiots. That's what they really mean by "genuine".

living amongst them. Wyoming is even worse. Except for Jackson. But they have the billionaires to contend with so I don't know which is worse.

They Are fucking morons no doubt. This is the same crowd that he insulted when he said he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and they would still vote for him. He was telling them to their face that they are so stupid and gullible cause they would still vote for him, yet they think he’s complimenting them. I think another time Trump said that we love the stupid people, again insulting them to their face and the fucking dunces can never understand that.

And yes, Soph, I know you did not choose that image.


But you do look suspiciously like the Unabomber.

With it's 1.6 million people (The borough of the Bronx has 1.42 million people and Brooklyn has 2.5 million) and it's 3 electoral votes is the very definition of a "flyover country". But they have "Genuine Americans". (LOL)

Filled with ignorance of their own greed and smug in their assumption of greatness. Overly represented in the federal government, almost twice as much as New York.
Montana - 2 senators + 1 representative = 1 for every 356,000 people
New York - 2 senators + 27 representatives = 1 for every 674,000 people

They're called fly over for good reason. It masks the inherent corruption of fewer citizens to police their own democracy. Fewer news papers, fewer locally originated media outlets. Greater economic dependency on public (federal) lands, military bases. So long as their GOP continues bring home the pork to their elite, they remain bovine.

have never been outside of Montana. Seriously. They think they are the entire world.

When we first moved to Wyoming, some 43 years ago, hubby met a young man who had NEVER LEFT SHERIDAN. He and a friend took him to Denver to see a Broncos game and it turned out just like you think.

I had a friend who taught high school here and honestly when those students were tasked with drawing in the states on a map Wyoming took up most of it.
