Maybe these "poorly educated" white folks that elected Trump should learn to take responsibility for their behavior. That is what they have been telling black folks for the last couple of centuries. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe it is time to build the society based on merit. We haven't tried that yet. It also may be time to try being honest as well. Apparently, facts do matter. Who knew? BTW, the ACA was a Democratic attempt to help them. Addressing pain relief is a healthcare issue. The folks they elected didn't want them to get help, if  the rest of us were helped too. They could start by not voting against their interests. It looks like being human is more important than being white, in the 21st century. Education is also more important than race this century.
