as far as I am aware, Black southern blue collar workers aren’t much more receptive to unionizing than their white counterparts, same for numerous other signifiers of “class solidarity”
 
Ph, we have been having this same argument for years and I still don’t understand why you refuse to acknowledge any distinctions between rural white Americans. I’ve shown you plenty of statistical data on voter participation broken out by economic class, but you still insist on characterizing all rural whites as politically engaged malevolent racists, who are all so motivated by racism and hate they are hopelessly out of reach. It’s bullshit, and just an excuse for your politics to dismiss those people.

As if it’s just 100% of rural whites going to the polls every 2 years, ignoring the benevolent Democrats begging to save them from their plight, just to pull the “more racism” lever.
 
There are plenty of shitty racist white people that I feel ok with grouping them together since it isn’t an insignificant number.
 
Over the last two decades, rural voters have clearly shifted towards Republicans. This is from a few years ago, but I'm fairly confident it has not gone in the other direction since 2018.

"While there are racial and ethnic differences in the makeup of rural, suburban and urban areas, this overall pattern of geographic divergence is also seen among whites. Among rural whites, the GOP enjoyed a roughly 10-percentage-point advantage throughout much of the 2000s; the GOP advantage among rural white voters is now 24 percentage points (58% to 34%). "

I’m not talking about all rural whites. I’m talking about the politically engaged malevolent racists who make up and outsized share of rural whites and define rural white politics. You refuse to acknowledge that. We have this same argument because you keep defending the group I’m talking about by grouping them in with the people I’m not talking about. Everyone else but you seems to understand this.
 
Yeah the southern strategy doesn’t rely on warm weather and football, it’s all white I’m sure we will figure it out soon.
 
Are we talking about the rural whites that hate change so much they stay rooted in the past to their and their countries detriment?
 
just so y'all know every time you are talking about a group you are talking about 100% every member of that group unless you say a qualifier like "most of" or "some of" or "a significant portion of"
 
So full of shit you can’t go 1 page without lying about your stance. Please condescend to me again about who you aren’t talking about

On a political topic you should absolutely distinguish between political actors and non-actors,
 
Never surprised with the nuance and understanding that liberals use to describe Democratic political constituencies, to excuse away their cowardly pandering crony conservatism, and then, in remarkable contrast, the complete lack of any nuance liberals use in describing Republican constituencies and political outcomes.
 
So let's back up a little bit - what, right now IS the platform of the GOP that drives rural voters to overwhelmingly vote for that party year in and year out?

What is the voter who is still a steadfast Republican voting for when they go into the booth and vote a straight red ticket?

Taxes, job promises, inflation, social issues?

To your overall point that most folks (really everywhere), aren't politically in tune with what's going on in the day-to-day minutia, what drives them to keep voting GOP?

Trump? Lack of familiarity so they're just voting like they always did, and like their family does? That obviously goes on all across the country.

Teamsmanship - they have super rudimentary cultural/identarian signifiers, and they have a shallow belief from non-stop propaganda and peer influence that voting for the political party that champions those signifiers will make them dominant vs irrelevant.

THOSE people are out to get your money, values, safety, religion, and livelihood. Vote Republican to fight back.
