• It is not a story about rural America. It is a pamphlet. A liberal one. In my opinion, the whole "real life experience" is just a mood, that was chosen by the author. "Everyone who isn’t just like them has been sold to them as a threat and they’ve bought it hook, line, and grifting sinker. " When one reads something like this, it is quite evident, that it is not about real people. Out here, in the real world, there is no black and white. Nobody has just one side. I thought, nobody should be stigmatized, because he/she/they/ze does not like the idea of gay marriage or the BLM and happens to be living in a rural area. Maybe one would disagree with them, but people might have other virtues...the one thing that you don't like about them does not define them automatically.

    Imho it is also quite telling, that the statistics tell a different story, but nobody cares. The savages and the christian cultists in the rural countryside are the wicked. They must be punished...

    In the suburbs, Clinton lost 3%, in comparison to Obama. Trump remained at 50%, same as they had in 2012. In the rural/small town region, she lost about 3%, and he gained 3%. That means, 3 people out of 100. 4 years ago, when the Democrats won, everything was ok with the people, now they are the christian devils?
