Rural folks are some of the most charitable folks you'll ever meet. Because that means you're dependent on them and they're better than you. It's why they hate government programs. They hate the idea that helping their neighbor is a given. They want the power over you. They want to be able to hold it over you, that they could take it away at any moment.
They also don't think of themselves as racist because they don't hate all black people. But they do expect them to stay in their place. They don't want them being too proud or having opinions about things. Same with women, same with gays. Anyone trans has to have a certain amount of courage to live openly like that. So they're automatically on the shit list. Alternate religions must be reviewed and approved.
They're fascists. They don't want equality. Even if they "allow" equality, it's still theirs to take away.
