I wouldn't go down this route, painting all rednecks as Maga supporters is not fair to them or conducive to a good outcome.
And there are plenty of MAGA dipshits who aren't rednecks. If you watched the Mummers parade today, you saw a bunch of Delco bigots who wouldn't know a tractor from a turnip truck. But those guys sure looked pretty in their dresses.
This is a big point. I briefly took a job in Northern California two years ago and met more openly-racist bigots and transphobes than I ever met in my Appalachian hometown
So redneck agenda is different from MAGA agenda? Do tell.
Redneck here. Fuck Trump and fuck you for thinking I support him.
Hope this helps.
Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?
My understanding is that MAGA is mostly the criminal element of white, upper middle class suburban US. The lumpen bourgeois, with some white senior citizen hanger-ons. Rednecks where I live are largely liberal or apolitical, and my friends in other states say about the same thing.
There's this liberal myth about the majority of rednecks being virulent racists and MAGA diehards that needs to be put down like a dying dog. It's perpetrated partly by shutins with little reference to society outside of what they see deliberately conveyed on screens.
While there are unhinged, bigoted rednecks who tend to speak loudly in public, they're a despised minority who don't even get invited to family events, in many cases. This can be seen in the suburban variant of MAGA too. It might not be your dad, but instead, your estranged uncle who's divorced 7 times and can't hold a job down, while he can't be trusted not to make things weird at cookouts.
The "redneck = MAGA" trope is kept alive through bourgeois media, like when Taylor Swift depicted a bunch of farmish-looking people as militant homophobes in the video for 'You Need To Calm Down', or maybe on boring liberal late night TV.
A clearer picture indicates that MAGA is largely a movement drawing from minorities of the white upper and middle classes, situated in cities and suburbs. They're mostly small business tyrants who aspire to be big business tyrants, but feel they've been held back by changing social attitudes and regulatory government.
The poster child for MAGA isn't named Cledus, it's Preston.
