An excellent article discussing the realities of Republican vs Democrat, rural vs urban, White vs Black anger and aspiration:
www.yesmagazine.org/economy/2022/03/21/republican-conservative-america-angry
Despite the superficial resemblance of the crumbling neighborhoods, junk-filled lots, and widespread poverty of Antlers [Oklahoma] and conditions in a devastated city of color like Camden, New Jersey, the origins of their devastations are very different.
Camden is the product of systemic racism and industrial abandonment inflicted on poor, primarily non-White residents powerless to prevent their exploitation.
Antlers is the predictable endgame of White majorities who had better options instead empowering incompetent, corrupt demagogues (segregationist Democrats in the past; nihilist Republicans today) who flatter White claims to racial and religious privilege while awarding largesse to rapacious outsiders.
