Fascism has always been a middle class ideology

Seconding this.

While it is true there are reactionary people in working class Appalachia, I have found most of these lot to be very good people. The left just needs to get better at talking to people, I am very guilty of this.

It's the comfy suburban republicans and even some girlboss democrats you need to look out for. I've noticed a lot of suburban hogs really only care about trying to trick people into thinking they're a badass, so that's why they PRETEND to be rednecks. They'll buy pickup trucks they don't need to drive to their cushy office job that contributes nothing to society, but it would be worth it if someone mistook them for a tough guy upon watching them roll coal on a cyclist for daring to make them question their mindless consumerism for even a millisecond. They'll make all sorts of threats on Facebook or :le-pol-face: for the sole purpose of digital masturbation. One quick look at the comments under your local paper is a good way to find them. Fascism suits them perfectly, what they're doing is evil, they know it's evil, but they just can't help themselves because a steady diet of lead poisoning and Rush Limbaugh taught them that supervillains are SOOOO HARDCORE, and maybe then some loser somewhere might think they're cool.

Sorry for the ramblings, these lot piss me off and I can't believe I ever confused them for rednecks, who are usually pretty cool.

Time to prepare for some Strength Through Joy
