Ironically alot are proud of the negative stereotypes. Typically
conservative &anti-intellectual. They ❤guns&hunting. They prefer old trucks bc they can fix em themselves. Tend to be very weary of outsiders, terrified of change&social progress. White supremecy& misogyny are common.

climate change denial. They're prone to propaganda & often screwed by their own leaders politicians&megachurches. U KNEW THAT. The term redneckscomes from exploited workers. These men were doing the most dangerous jobs in the world. They weren't afraid, part of a huge movement& proudly wore a red bandanna around their necks.

collective bargaining.
That was social progress to be proud of.
