      It’s not like Fox News is ever going to have a segment calling for empathy with minority urban voters, or 538 running an article on Republicans failing to address issues that minority urban voters have.

        It’s not enough that we have to live with their terrible choices in politics, subsidize their localities, and put up with their biggest assholes screaming at us in public about who the current president is for some reason, we have to completely understand and commiserate with that worldview and pretend that we too would’ve been just like them if we had the misfortune of growing up in the same dusty coal mine town we imagine they did.

        I mean fucking Beyoncé is making country albums, I think all of America is well aware of rural white people.

        Election season is coming up - time for suburban middle class liberal journalists to go to rural areas, have some cheap waffles with old people, marvel at how “Oh they’re just people like us” and write long op-eds about it.

        It’s tradition.
