    I live in Oklahoma, drive an Old Green Truck™, have a lazy dog of unknown breed, and I work in a machine shop. Last week my neighbor and I rebuilt a motorcycle engine and put it in his bike. My wife and I have chickens. I’m a pretty sterotypical “redneck”.

    I’ve voted democrat in every election since 2000.

    It sounds like OP is terribly confused, and is associating people from two different groups while they really have nothing in common, which is something MAGA dipshits also do.

    This is some full-on stirrin’-somes-shit probably-russian/chinese-originated bullshit meant to divide folks up. Real rednecks would never hand their liberty to some two-bit lyin sack of shit New York Billionaire landlord’s son swindler like Trump

    That’s right jackass. Keep that bullshit going. Just like you were conditioned to.

    Do not under any circumstances google, The Battle of Blair Mountain. That’s where the term comes from. Asshole. And it doesn’t mean what Hollywood has taught you it means.

    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

          There’s an important distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. The south would like you toe believe that anything non-urban is redneck, this is not so.
