Just another delusional self-hating cuck. Whatever "evolved" status they've reached while giving the country away to freeloaders and authoritarians - they can keep it.

I love when progressive elitist talk down to me because I am from a place like Zachary, LA.
The joke's on you if you voted for an elitist billionaire from NYC.

Odd. I don't see said "elitist billionaire" taking the tone of the author of this article.
It's almost like you can be rich and live in the coastal urban centers, yet not treat the rural part of this country as smelly dog shite.

I free that both groups live in a bubble. But to say neither understand each other is dishonest in my opinion. Only onebubble is portrayed on tv. Only one bubble is portrayed in movies.
People in the Midwest and south and in rural areas consume these media sources, and while it may not be 100% accurate as to what life is like on the coasts/urban centers, it’s a lot more accurate than what is portrayed about life in rural America.
People living in rural America are forced to see what life “is like” in urban/coastal America and in general the values espoused by a significant portion living there.
People in rural America do understand people in urban America. They disagree with them. People in urban/coastal America by and large do not understand rural America. They loathe them

I’m from the Midwest, and I love the Midwest, but it’s not representative of modern America.
His entire article isn't even based on all of rural America but just of the rural Midwest.
I feel like a visit to the rural South would just blow his mind.

The term "bubble" used in the way that it is, is flawed.
Go to another nation, say Poland, and if a voter there knows little about anything that isn't Polish, and votes in a way that he feels is best for himself and other Poles, that's not a bubble. It's his reality, and he's voting to make the most of that reality.
Same applies to people in interior homogeneous environments.
But don't feel bad if you're a leftist; they're exposed to leftist propaganda the same way all of us are. If you turn on a TV you have no choice.

I've witnessed a white guy run a black guy from the city out of a rural liquor store because he called him a Patel in a negative connotation.
I watched 50 people in rural louisiana collectively throw bottles at a guy who called the only gay guy in the bar a homophobic term.
You won't get much more seclusionary than rural south Louisiana

Guarantee he lives in an area that may be ethnically diverse, but is NOT poor.

Yeah, diversity along economic lines means much more than race

I guess this is possible. If there are zero minority teachers and one sex predator, then there you go.

And they certainly have not seen the new National Museum of African American History and Culture
Instead of that, we drive 6 blocks from our house and see what real African American culture is like today. We watch our hometowns fall apart as the decay from that side of town takes over the whole town, we pay for private schools so that we feel that our kids are safe, we stand behind 250 pound women with 4 kids in the grocery store checkout line as she swipes her SNAP card, we accept that the playgrounds our grandfathers paid for are off-limits to white kids, etc etc.
We do all that and we still treat our black fellow citizens with respect and kindness, we still donate to food drives, we still pay our taxes.
And then we get called racists by wanna-be coastal elites who didn’t have any black kids in their high school.
