This might be the expectation for the broad population, but it is not how it works in red counties. There ARE occupations that do better when the upper class has expendable income. I'll name a few: Tennis Coaches, Interior Decorating, Lawn Service, Personal Trainers...
See the pattern? None of these jobs require diplomas from major universities. These are the people who will always support Republicans, especially if they live in red counties, because they depend on customers who have disposable income. When their customers are tight on money, theirs are the first jobs to suffer.
As long as Liberals fail to see this connection they will miss an even greater opportunity to expose the intentional segregation that goes on in white island communities (red counties), where people generally hire like-minded individuals. Thus, discrimination is guaranteed.
Conservatives thrive in these communities where they get to call all the shots, because money and occupations are inducements. They will put their dollars into the hands of people that support their political beliefs.
Meanwhile, we're the idiots who try to be fair. Christ, I once contacted a Civil Rights leader in Central Florida just to ask for an organization that would accept a donation of furniture and get it directly into the hands of poor people in depressed areas and he suggested the Vietnam Vets. I had been donating to them for more than twenty years, and just wanted to expand my donation base. So I was just surprised to discover that minority leaders aren't doing for their own communities, what leaders in these insular white suburban communities have been doing for decades.
Lord knows you have plenty of opportunities to call their hand, because they skirt the law whenever they have to.
