Although modern politics has changed things, rednecks have historically been anti authority and pro labor. Building a rural/urban alliance like Bill Clinton did would genuinely create an entirely new era of politics that would be friendly to liberal leftist ideologies.

Mostly just decades of brainwashing of the culture war. I’m an urban leftist who moved from a big city to a very small one in the rural countryside and the sheer amount of leftist ideals that get spouted by conservative voters I hear regularly is staggering. They have no clue that what they want from life is all left of center.

But they only want it for their little group

If you have different colour skin, like the same sex, have a different religion (or none at all), then you're evil and don't deserve a damned thing

They're stupid and hateful and I'm not going to bother to dial back my contempt for them

Never forget they'd've rather shut down the public pool than have their kids share it with black kids; the unions were all for class solidarity, so long as the black working class weren't allowed membership.

Not a redneck but a collegue of mine said to me dead serious that a planned economy is not Communist, because big corporations use it.

What are you gonna do with people that seemingly barely manage to find their mouth to put food in it?!
