All the finger-wagging from scolds demanding progressives be “nice” to angry, violent, actively anti-social freaks is starting to wear on me.

Particularly when they purport to defend “simple country folk”. Fuckit, I grew up amongst these folks; I WAS a farm kid, and many of my relatives on both sides still live on county roads with letters (“Yah, Tony’s got a place out on Double-I, out past the gravel pit…”)

“We” is doing a LOT of work in that sentence

Grew up in a farm. Family has been dairy farmers for generations.

They voted for this. Going back to the 80s.

It was racial resentment. Can’t tell you how many times relatives spouted “welfare queen” lies at me
