Medicaid Expansion To Poorest Southerners Denied By Republicans

[Ken Burch]

75. I don't like dog-whistle language and you know it.

And the thing is, the people who still block ACA implementation in the South probably can't ACCEPT the idea that there are poor white folks-or, if they do, they dismiss them as "white trash".

The resistance to the ACA in Dixie is still Bourbon politics. IN the 19th Century, people who called themselves Democrats practiced that disgusting, economic-royalist strain of politics-now, people who call themselves Republicans practice it.

There OUGHT to be some way for us to build a progressive, populist alliance of the working class-jobless class majority in that region.
