Lmfao I’m pretty sure liberals also hate the working class, watch them talk about rural people for 5 seconds. The utter disdain for rural working class people is a real thing.

There are rural Democrats. You know that, right? It’s not a monolith.

Rural people are the foundation of this country and need the most support for they often are over looked. Probably because they vote for people that don’t have their well beings in mind.

You seem to be implying that the only “real” working class people are rural. Do all the working class folks that live in the burbs and cities not count?

That’s not what I meant to imply at all, but generally there are more blue collars than white out in the sticks. Do you think that’s inaccurate?

I would argue that used to be the case. My parents own a “farm” in Indiana, and most of their neighbors were indeed farmers and farmhands when I was growing up 30 years ago. I’ve visited the farm recently, and was shocked by the gentrification that has happened. None of their neighbors are worth less than $1,000,000 these days. All the old neighbors are gone. The population density didn’t increase, but the prices did, and the price of gas makes it impossible for low paid blue collar workers to live that far out of town. They wouldn’t be able to get groceries.

That may even still be the case west of the Mississippi River, but back east property has gotten so expensive that even the rural areas are turning into havens exclusively for the rich/ wealthy

The only reason I dislike them is because they actively vote against their best interests for the people who are fucking this country and planet into the ground. I just don’t understand them… As people, they’re fine. Voters, not so much.

Rural people as in the people who consistently vote for and cheer for all the vile shit Republicans want to force on us? Gosh, why would we have anything against those people?

Liberals and progressives are frustrated with many rural conservatives. Changes we advocate not only help us, our neighbors, the less-advantaged, but would even more benefit rurals. Why are you voting against your best interests, and for the blowhard who more blatantly lies, and wants to “take” more from you in favor of the wealthy? Why would you vote for those vowing to disrupt and destroy many of the programs you rely on? Why do you keep voting for the country to step backwards when you’re the first one getting stepped on?
