This is the middle class of America that was promised an easy fix to everything, and wonder why the easy fixes they have been given, don't work:

- take a pill for that lump

- cheer for this team and you're a winner too

- blame those "other" people for your limitations

The generation raised on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Viagra, and promise that your union will somehow protect your job against cheaper products made better elsewhere.

All the bullshit sown in the 80's has come home to roost, and Billybob is arming himself to overthrow the government that gives him the social security and disability checks he uses to buy guns and ammo.... but first he's gonna stop at Arby's in his Ford F-350 that has never been off-road or pulled anything more than a trailer with jet skis, and use some of his sweet sweet government check to feed the gaping maw of his nagging self doubt that he isn't actually a special snowflake, at all, and may be culpable for his own lot in life.

He's also been a victim of Pandora's Immigrant: The one that's simultaneously taking his job and over-burdening the welfare system.

All the Republican contradictions of the last 30 years are laid bare in this sad demographic...

"Immigrants are taking your jobs!" vs "Immigrants are a burden on the welfare system!"

"Reduce government spending!" vs "Our corn farmers need subsidies to stay afloat!"

"Reduce the size of government!" vs "Legislate against lifestyles I don't identify with!"

"Environmental regulation is killing business!" vs "My tap water is giving my baby cancer!"

"Products are too expensive!" vs "Trade deals are hurting our local industry!"

"Provide a level playing field for business!" vs "But give me this subsidy, or I won't vote for you!"

And on, and on, and on, and on...
