We're all set to suffer for the foreseeable future, but no one suffers more from conservative policy than poor, rural conservatives.

I, for one, will absolutely enjoy watching them suffer. They deserve it.

That's a nice fiction, but they're already so cut out of the fruits of the economy that its dubious at best.

The folks who suffer on net will be middle class professionals who see their economic floor drop out from under them. They'll be forced into living like poor, rural conservatives as prices skyrocket and disposable income dries up.

You won't watch them suffer. You'll watch "Lifestyles of the Crypto Billionaire" on one channel and "Bum Fights: Disenfranchised Minority Edition" on the other because that's what the folks enriching themselves in the Trump economy want to show people.
