As somebody who lives in rural America (in the South), I can say this is not far from the truth. Most people here want a right-wing Baptist theocracy where homosexuality is illegal and young earth creationism is taught in public school science classes. They only support things like free speech and free press when it benefits them and they want to restrict opposing viewpoints from getting the same treatment. Their ideal society is something that isn't far off from "A Handmaid's Tale." The only "rights" they support are gun rights.
This is the Internet so I have to say that of course, I know that not EVERYONE who lives in rural America think like this. However, this worldview is quite common.
You live in Oklahoma. Your family is not representative of all rural Americans.
Have to agree to a point. Funny thing is, for some reason they want to think it's all Christians who voted for Trump. I'm a country loving, horseback riding, dog loving, moonshine drinking kind of girl who is actually an atheist. I have been a long time democrat, but when I seen that they were trying to push legislation to push the rural and farm home owners off their lands to make wave for huge gated communities, plus take away my guns so I can't defend myself out here in the middle of nowhere, I had to tell the dems to F off, and I voted for Trump.
The rural part of the country usually contains very extreme and stupid groups whose ideology would destroy the country, US is not alone in that. Just look at communism, it was solidified at the rural areas.

Youse guys will never learn. Calling citizens stupid is such a liberal thing to do. Not very tolerant, are you?
Holy Crap! The sheer, undiluted hatred of men, of whites, of gun owners, of those who are rural, of those who live in the south is stunning. I can't believe what I am reading in thread after thread on this site. People like you ^^^^ slither throughout the Internet, throughout the media, throughout politics, throughout our education system, and are the real problem in this country. I can see it in faces, in voices, in "jokes", in writing. You're eat up with hate.
The Progressives HATE this concept which is the basis for the American Republic, because they hate America, and its values which are largely rural. Self sufficiency, helping your neighbor, hard work, supporting your military, paying your taxes, keeping your family together, honesty. All values that Progressive despise.
Well, I prefer to pay less taxes, to be honest. But yes, everything else I agree. And there is nothing wrong with that.
You serious? Conservatives fight tooth and nail for the right for businesses to fire somebody for being gay yet throw a huge fit when A&E cancels Duck Dynasty because of Phil Robertson's homophobia. Or how about the fact that businesses being able to deny service to LGBT individuals is a huge deal in rural America yet they want laws to prevent Target from allowing transgender customers to use the bathroom of the gender in which they identify? Furthermore, you want fundamentalist Christianity to be endorsed and promoted by the state, but as soon as something like the Buddhist Temple wants to erect a monument you throw a big fit. You can't have it both ways!
This post, along with Joy Reid's remark, illustrate why the liberals have lost--and continue to lose--credibility and followers. It paints with the broadest paint brush and uses the most exaggerated and out-dated stereotypes of conservatives, libertarians, and independents. Seems like a few George Soros-paid posters here remain dialed back to the 1980s. Being out-of-touch has become the new mark of liberals and the politicians they continue to support (like Nancy Pelosi).
Joy Reid can keep spouting that nonsense. It will only prove to more and more Americans that the liberal agenda is highly anti-Constitutional and anti-United States.

Oh, I agree. However, we do need essential services like national defense, and secure borders, and rural Americans have always supported that by paying their fair share.
MSNBC host Joy Reid thinks that rural Americans are “the core threat to our democracy” and pointed to a series of tweets by liberal author Jared Yates Sexton that claimed Trump supporters “do not believe in the Constitution or any founding principles unless they're advantageous” as proof of her far-left theory.
She tweeted: "This is the core threat to our democracy. The rural minority -- the people @JYSexton just wrote a long thread about -- have and will continue to have disproportionate power over the urban majority."
"Rural Americans" = white people who do not adhere to the progressive ideology.
"MSNBC host Joy Reid.." Man the nonsense on here is nearing the realm of the total absurd. Acting as though Joy Reid's "opinion" bears much weight in the circles of power only demonstrates the severe limits of brainpower at work. I guess we should just come here every day with stupid statements made buy libs or cons and then, by extension smear each along with an entire group..
