I could not possibly be more tired of the endless whining of people alleging they speak for rural voters.
Grow the fuck up.
For people who swear they are against entitlements, they feel endlessly entitled to having their fragile balls polished.

Seriously, the media has an absolute obsession with “vulnerable rural voters” and “midwestern swing voters”.
They are the most over-covered demographic in the history of politics on earth.

Maybe, just maybe, the media’s endless insistence that we must hang on every word of midwestern diner folk is actually perpetuating a problem rather than illuminating it.
Maybe the media’s endless repetition of tired tropes about overlooked rural voters actually further them.

Stop telling me what white people far from cities think.
That’s what all of these coded pop segments boil down to. “Rural swing voter” “midwestern working class”.
They mean country whites.
The media ain’t talking about everyone who lives there.
They mean the white people.

For the love of god, if I never again in my life have to read a piece written by some coastal journalist about the profound political insights to be found in studying “plain ol’ folks in the heartland,” I will consider my life a success.
