>>728610I've always wondered if something abt small town america encourages feelings of class collaboration since the people actually know the local gentry on a more personal basis, religious institutions still control significant social safety nets and the weird resentment for le big city life creating a shared scapegoat.
I can kind of understand the resentment of the big cities since most rural lolberts I've met are acutely aware that if the country was an actual democracy the cities would absolutely votemog them into irrelevance which in turn leads many "anti-government" types to shill the whole "republic not a democracy" line and old ass james madison tier ideals about the need for aristocratic institutions like senate and supreme court and electoral college literally making there votes literally count more to hold back le ebil mob.
