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.
that’s a very black and white view of things but real life isn’t so pretty.
some people are intentionally misled or just not informed enough.
you alienate people by assuming they’re racist when they’re often not. I mean, it’s a choice. but it’s not gonna win you an election and I don’t think it’ll move the US forward.
yes, just like religion being an inherent evil taught to impressionable children, so are many racist people they are led down that path blindly and ignorantly follow it til death. the brainwashed masses
we actually fought an entire war over the concept… and the racists still try to pretend it wasnt racism, it was states rights to be racists
its kinda like that old trope about nazis… you let a nazi sit at your table, there is now a table full of nazis. you can blow up all you want about ambiguity, but theres no ambiguity when you vote for racist or pedophile. none. zero.
I’m sorry, this is naive.
You may have voted for a pedophile and you just don’t know it yet.
People’s true colors are not always so readily apparent
