It's when the holier than thou I know what's best for the world and Im from (insert city here) attitude comes out that gets us "rednecks" "hicks" "hillbillies" upset.
On occasion I'll bump into a North eastern liberal. Hear them complain about guns, trucks, this that and the other.... well 95 is that way, head north for about 20 hours. Say what you want about Florida and the south. I don't know too many who aspire to retire in NY MA CT VT ME NH.
There are plenty of rural areas in all those states. Lots of loud trucks and guns up there if that is what one is seeking. Snowmobiles too.

Are you actually saying you have never seen conservatives or red states referred to as "real Americans/real america" on this site ????
There is no single "real America". Whenever I hear someone say that about any single area, I kindly remind them of the diversity of our country. The entirety of the US is the "real America".
Hawaii, the vast spaces of Alaska, Miami, Wyoming, San Francisco, NY, Texas, the plains, the rolling hills and mountains of the Appalachians...these are all "America".
here's a direct quote form a recent GOP VP nominee, is that good enough?
We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation.

Sounds like it's all made up.
Gee, that's funny, um,, I knew I'd, um, heard something like that "wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America" before. So, yeah, somebody said it. And, yes, for the sake of argument, I will concede that he implied that the rest of America wasn't 'the real America' with his statement. Feel free to argue that point.
