So what do white trailer trash communities, full of drugs, violence, broken families etc. owe their situation too?
The votes they cast for the Republican Party?

My dad says that we're all born liberal Democrats and mature into conservative Republicans, usually around middle-aged. Sadly, much like maturity, many of us never grow up to be Republicans. With age comes responsibility, and many are not comfortable with responsibility.
Maturity, in the military, comes much faster than in civilian life. The military makes men and women, out of boys and girls. It turns adolescents into adults. It also makes Republicans out of Democrats. My husband was one, immature and Democrat. He grew emotionally, physically, mentally, and politically. The military isn't for the faint of heart, nor the weak of mind.
One important skill that the military does teach, no matter your MOS, is survival. It teaches you how to survive, ON YOUR OWN. This last part, 'on your own' is key to maturity and conservatism.
Unfortunately, many never learn this and will never make it on their own. Dependency is slavery. Dependency is also Democrat ideology.

Aren't you forgetting about all the black, hispanic and other 'minority' democrats that are racist, too?
Oh wait, they can call whites all kinds of names and hate them from here to eternity but only whites are truly "racist". That sound about right?
