(122 posts)Perception is reality. I have friends who work at our local welfare office, and this is all I hear them complain about. That there are all these unwed mothers that have 2,3,4 kids from just as many daddies. They are getting food stamps, housing, etc. Now mind you these are almost all women talking about these other women, a couple that are single mothers themselves. I am also sure that these women are telling a lot of other people besides just myself.
I keep reading on here that all the Drump supporters are racist, misogynists, uneducated, etc. And I am not saying that a significant portion of them aren't, but in my little corner of NE Ohio that is not who I have run across. I don't think we will ever pull the first group away from the repubs but the second group we can. We just need a better message to reach them.
