Not Everyone in Rural America Thinks Like You Think They Do

It’s easy to assume that all of rural America wears red hats.
That every small-town worker is stuck in a bubble.
That if someone didn’t go to college, they must have been brainwashed.

But that’s not the whole story.

There are people in rural America who see through the noise.
Who don’t fall for the fear-mongering.
Who might not have fancy degrees, but have clear eyes.

The farmer who doesn’t trust politicians—any of them.
The truck driver who knows exactly who’s getting rich off their labor.
The factory worker who helps his undocumented coworker, no questions asked.

Because wisdom isn’t just found in universities.
And common sense doesn’t belong to one political party.

Not everyone in rural America thinks like you think they do.

Maybe the problem was assuming they ever did.
