I not generally a TV guy but I keep hearing about this show and really enjoyed Taylor Sheridan's films (Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water) so thought I might give it a shot. The only problem is Boomers and Chuds seem to love the show. I wouldn't think the show is that chuddy because Sheridan's films aren't but maybe he sold out? Or, maybe chuds just see Cowboys and get a hard on?
Yup, this tracks with how conservatives view class. The (white, male) wealthy rural landowner with conservative values is working class; while the elementary school teacher in his small town who makes $30k a year and wants trans kids to be respected is part of the "elite ruling class".
