The Cost of the Union: New PPRI Study on White Working Class

BRA

Joan Walsh flags this new PPRI study on the White working class:

“In mid-August, Romney held a commanding 40-point lead over Obama among white working-class voters in the South (62% vs. 22%). However, neither candidate held a statistically significant lead among white working-class voters in the West (46% Romney vs. 41% Obama), Northeast (42% Romney vs. 38% Obama), or the Midwest (36% Romney vs. 44% Obama).”

Please note that OD, SNN, and the LoS have emphatically insisted that the existence of the Union is the problem.

“White working-class Americans in the South (62%) are more likely than white working-class Americans in the West (50%), Midwest (48%), or Northeast (38%) to live in households with firearms.

There is much greater opposition to same-sex marriage among white working-class Americans in the South than among white working-class Americans in other regions. Less than one-third (32%)of white working class Americans in the South favor allowing gay and lesbian people to marry, compared to 44% in the Midwest, 47% in the West, and 57% in Northeast.”

White working-class Americans in the West (40%), Midwest (48%), and Northeast (48%) are less likely than white working-class Americans in the South (58%) to believe that over the past few decades, the government has paid too much attention to the problems of blacks and other minorities.”

The advantages of disunion from a conservative standpoint are clear: it is long past time to unfurl the Confederate flag, if Catalonia can develop a vibrant secessionist movement, so can we!

If it were not for the Union, Dixie would quickly move toward a more conservative equilibrium as am independent nation-state. It is the rest of the country that drags us kicking and screaming to each new level of “progress” and which will reelect Obama Africanus I as their great negro tribune of equality in November.
