The hillbilly trope for Trump supporters is counterproductive.

Wealthy white, black folks and Latinos did just as much to get Trump into power.

The liberal elitism so many of y’all cling to will only hurt the left even more.

liberals are fucking stupid too….
but watch a jan 6 video and tell me they’re not mostly rednecks.
also, the election was heavily rigged, your stats are from a lie.

  You’re going to generalize an entire party based on the ones dumb enough to be the boots on the ground?

Huh, never really considered that.

Do you think the levels of “caricaturization” (my phone doesn’t like that one, so I mean turning the “enemy” into caricatures) and satire directly correlate to feelings of fear or loss of control, maybe? Those in power don’t seem to use satire much, if at all.

So yeah, I agree that it’s probably counterproductive, but it also seems to be a somewhat instinctual response, and therefore it should probably be guarded against in particular. Unless I’m overlooking some hidden benefits that aren’t just racist to some extent…
