Stop and think about it, how many of the posters here have made derisive and / or negative comments about rural Americans, otherwise known as "white people without a degree". See poor disenfranchised black / hispanic people tend to live in the inner cities while poor disenfranchised white people tend to live in rural areas. It's taboo to make a negative remark about uneducated black inner city males but it's perfectly acceptable, even encouraged, to make negative remarks about uneducated white rural males. Well congratulations you just helped get Trump elected. Trump didn't need to spend a ton of money because liberal elitists were doing all the work for him.
Part of what I had written in my poofed post.
That door swings both ways though. The rural poor and the urban poor have sooooooo much in common, but people focus on their differences and can't see the forest through the trees.
I'll pick on rednecks -- or, at least, some specific redneck tropes -- it's true. Because it's "safe" for me to do so
because I am one.
I'm pretty sure that when you own guns and a pickup truck and at least a little bit of camo clothing that you wear unironically, you're either at least a little bit redneck or you're really, really good at disguising yourself among them...
