I wouldn’t go down this route, painting all rednecks as Maga supporters is not fair to them or conducive to a good outcome.
And there are plenty of MAGA dipshits who aren’t rednecks. If you watched the Mummers parade today, you saw a bunch of Delco bigots who wouldn’t know a tractor from a turnip truck. But those guys sure looked pretty in their dresses.
Exactly, and a lot of the people who were at Jan 6 were from upper middle class suburban white america who flew in to DC taking time off from their cushy jobs to larp as revolutionaries.
This is a big point. I briefly took a job in Northern California two years ago and met more openly-racist bigots and transphobes than I ever met in my Appalachian hometown
Cody Barlow ain’t no bigot
Rednecks are historically left. Big on unions.
Mmmm political left and right don’t align strictly on a union-supporting axis. Even left and right don’t really mean much anymore, because the Conservative party isn’t anchored to a specific set of ideologies the was Progressives are. A conservative will support a union when the union helps rhe conservative, will oppose the union when the union hurts the conservative, and will demonize the union when it helps them get elected by lathering up their base of voters.
Progressives support labor rights, equitable pay, and regulations that protect the safety and liberty of the worker. Progressives will support those ideals even when it does not help them directly.
Many people associate Communists and Socialists with the “left” and Libertarians and Free Market Capitalists with the “right”. But there are conservative communists and progressive capitalists.
I’m so glad the libs don’t push divisiveness. Those of you who upvote are the problem.
Go back in your ignorance tube.
Fuck off no they ain’t.
That’s right jackass. Keep that bullshit going. Just like you were conditioned to.
Do not under any circumstances google, The Battle of Blair Mountain. That’s where the term comes from. Asshole. And it doesn’t mean what Hollywood has taught you it means.
