Blue collar workers overwhelmingly bought Reagans plastic coated flag-waving bullshit and started voting against their interests consistently. By the time Fox News and talk radio rolled around they were completely fucking brainwashed. Still are today.
I don’t see how calling them undereducated buffoons is an argument for or against whether the Democrats have alienated them either way.
And for the record, they were only too happy to vote for flag waving white Jesus over the future of themselves or the country. They alienated themselves.
Tell me again what the voter turnout percentage was?
The vast majority of us are so used to our voices not being heard that we don't even bother voting. It doesn't change anything.
You keep talking about how they voted "for" this and that, without even understanding that most people in the USA didn't vote for anything at all.

Funds allocated throughout the years have NEVER actually gone to providing/increasing broadband in rural areas.
Never say never. There are actually several areas where I've seen fiber build out from government grants.
That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

Sure, I'll do a simple web search for you.
It was 64%.
The most since 1908
So, the "most people in the USA didn't vote for anything" is incorrect. Most registered voters did (if you're including infants and the deceased, well that changes the math a little bit).And if you didn't vote, you get what you get. And what you get is chaos and incompetence. Excellent plan, non-voters.

My grandparents lived in rural OK and had dial-up until 2018 when they finally were able to get a 2mbps DSL line. It really wasn’t much faster than the dial-up.
You mean it wasn't able to be saturated?
As slow as 2MBit/s is, relatively speaking, it's still magnitudes better than dial-up.

Yes, I mean it never hit its rated speed. Also that many modern sites didn’t work any better than they did on the dialup anyway.

Not entirely, my ISP is a family owned regional cable company and they took the grant and have rolled out fiber across multiple counties.
I get what you're saying about the mega corps, yeah they just pocket a lot of the money. But the smaller ISPs are being smart and investing in their infrastructure to be able to complete.

The news will probably never reach them.

What's an average Internet connection like in the USA? How many megs down?
I pay $60/mo for 1100 down, 50 up with Verizon.
