Redneck here. Fuck Trump and fuck you for thinking I support him.
Hope this helps.
Hillbillies are generally a specific type of non urban. Here in Appalachia we refer to them as off the mountain. You don’t just run into hillbillies. You have to go where they go.
The rest of us are rednecks. I don’t think redneck is “everyone south and rural” but it’s pretty close.
Some of the costumes are rather intricate and impressive. And then sometimes their racist. People who defend the Mummers try to pretend the bigots have been removed and prohibited frim returning, but this year some bigots attacked the crowd while waving MAGA flag.
The musical acts are good, though. Lotta fun for the kids.
Just carrying on the long long history of punishing the workers who dared take up arms to defend themselves a century ago.
Unlikely to change any time soon. That punishment has included the above derision, plastered all over all forms of media for decades. As well as generational economic punishment. GovCo shat on Appalachia from such a height they’ve never yet recovered and likely never will. Look at the response to the devastation from that hurricane.
Only people on this continent that got a worse hand are the indigenous and black folks in southern states.
