For John, BLUF: We are a diverse nation. Which is a good thing. Nothing to see here; just move along.
This is another indication of a cultural divide within the United States, or perhaps in the West In General, between those in Urban areas and those in rural areas. This divide is not good for the nation.

@Chris_arnadeHe deleted the tweet & seems contrite, but he is saying out loud how a frustratingly large number of front rowers feel
Which is, impoverished regions are filled with bad people who we need to scold or fix
It is a form of colonialism, dressed up into today’s woke language

I unironically embrace the bashing of Rural Americans. They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions. Some, I assume, are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid and we should shame people who aren't pro-City.
