I wouldn’t go down this route, painting all rednecks as Maga supporters is not fair to them or conducive to a good outcome.
Just carrying on the long long history of punishing the workers who dared take up arms to defend themselves a century ago.
Unlikely to change any time soon. That punishment has included the above derision, plastered all over all forms of media for decades. As well as generational economic punishment. GovCo shat on Appalachia from such a height they’ve never yet recovered and likely never will. Look at the response to the devastation from that hurricane.
Only people on this continent that got a worse hand are the indigenous and black folks in southern states.
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.
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.
Nice PP son, I’m proud of you. ❤️🫡
Bullshit
I’m born and raised in Appalachia, my daddy worked in the coal mines and drove an 18 wheeler. Certified redneck enough that I confuse the shit out of my New England neighbors.
I went out and marched with striking nurses when Bernie put out the call, and I’ve never voted Republican in my entire fucking life.
OP, you need to learn what a redneck is.
Rednecks are historically left. Big on unions.
Historically Republicans were instrumental in abolishing slavery. Today’s version wants it back.
Mmmm political left and right don’t align strictly on a union-supporting axis. Even left and right don’t really mean much anymore, because the Conservative party isn’t anchored to a specific set of ideologies the was Progressives are. A conservative will support a union when the union helps rhe conservative, will oppose the union when the union hurts the conservative, and will demonize the union when it helps them get elected by lathering up their base of voters.
Progressives support labor rights, equitable pay, and regulations that protect the safety and liberty of the worker. Progressives will support those ideals even when it does not help them directly.
Many people associate Communists and Socialists with the “left” and Libertarians and Free Market Capitalists with the “right”. But there are conservative communists and progressive capitalists.
Whaa? “Many people associate Communists and Socialists with the “left” and Libertarians and Free Market Capitalists with the “right”. But there are conservative communists and progressive capitalists.” You can’t be a conservative Communist, its oxymoronic, dito for the other one too. If you call yourself a communist and have conservative ideals u are not a communist and should change your believes or be removed for communist spaces. On the other hand if you call yourself progressive and support capitalism you aren’t progressive as capitalism is inherently oppressive. You can call yourself whatever you’d like but you have to walk the walk too, to be it.
Of course you can be a conservative Communist. Most of China is both communist and conservative.
Ultimately, you can call yourself whatever you want.
China is not communist, just like the Nazi party was not socialist. And yeah you can yourself whatever you’d like but that doesn’t make it true. I can call myself a invertebrate but my bones are still on the inside
China is socially conservative–and deeply authoritarian–but economically is officially communist (although not so much in practice, given that they have billionaires).
I’m a lefty to the bone and have been since I was a kid. I’ve spent most of my life in the south and have met some amazing redneck folks that don’t fit into this mold.
Basically, don’t put your potential working class allies into a box.
This isn’t helping, and it isn’t true.
Cody Barlow ain’t no bigot
I’ve been described by people as redneck, but I’m not remotely MAGA
…and therefore I support Green Day dunking on MAGA instead of me XD
