Lol. How brave /s

Show your true colors y'all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don't share the same values as you - coincidentally, exactly like your slightly more racist/white-supremacist neighbors

Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them. I mean, that still won't win us any elections but it's a step in the right direction - one towards a more honest party

By values, you mean supporting a violent and openly fascist political party whose main goal is to hunt migrants to deport?

Lol, is that the same logic you apply to the civil war? The North just hated the South for their rural ways?

I wouldn't agree with what the person you are responding to says, because I don't think anyone deserves not be ripped from their homes. But I can understand why people would wish unpleasant times to people who voted to do exactly that.

Falsely equivocating all of that down to, "hating rural folks" for their country ways is inaccurate, ahistorical, and highly reductive.
