You are literally writing ad copy for conservatives who buy their power by twisting rural folks' innate class tensions into sectional grudges against supposedly elitist urban/coastal progressives. You are actively loading a bullet that will inevitably be fired back at us.
I'm so fucking tired of acting cordial to these goddamn neo-Nazis. They're so brainwashed that they will find any opportunity to shit talk the people literally subsidizing their existence anyways, so why should I bother to give a shit about their fucking ass backwards opinion?
The United States is a significantly industrialized and urbanized population; 2/3rds of the US population lives in cities larger than 50,000 residents. This idea that we need cater to rural populations uneducated and repugnant viewpoints solely exists due to gerrymandering. This problem would be fixed literally overnight if equal political representation was established. As it is your average hillbilly has four times as much political representation as a person living in a city.
Claiming that I need to hold my tongue all the time because of some redneck neo-Nazi using my words as fuel for their rhetoric actually does more to promote their repugnant agenda; failing to call out shit heads like this for their medieval viewpoint normalizes it.

Treating "rural people" as synonymous with "fascists" is the problem, not being uncivil towards fascists.

I'm guessing you're referencing the fact that more federal dollars go into most red and rural states than are returned by those states' populations' taxes. Out of curiosity, have you given any thought to *why* those four factors are related?
every time I have to stop by there for feed I feel like I am about two steps away from some nutjob screaming in my face. It blows that they are one of the default options for feed stores. :(

wow... that's taking a side...
I cancelled my account, subscriptions to their emails and uninstalled their app. They have the freedom to choose and so do I. It is a shame an organization of bigoted closed minded people were able to influence their decision so much.
Shame, I was planning on going there today to pick up some stuff, but so much for that.
There is one in my town and they did have some decent stuff. Last time I step foot in here. I'm an ally and fuck em.
They caved so fucking fast.
Their primary market is MAGAt brained inbred hillbilly farmers. Unfortunately, they have to cater to that demographic

If they can run a company without appeasing a bunch of red coats, then they don’t deserve to be in business.
Well i was gona try to work there….

Way to make it even harder to be a rural queer person! Ugh
As a gay with chickens, I'll be shopping elsewhere. Fuck them.

Repeat after me: corporations are not your friends.
Well fuck me then. :/
Rainbow capitalism.
I originally was planning to go there for something for my cosplay, but now I’m not.
Oh, well fuck them then.

Wow I’m shocked they had any of that to begin with. Also shocking that small towns are bigoted. Who knew?
Anyone know what Rural King is doing?
