I wouldn't go down this route, painting all rednecks as Maga supporters is not fair to them or conducive to a good outcome.

And there are plenty of MAGA dipshits who aren't rednecks. If you watched the Mummers parade today, you saw a bunch of Delco bigots who wouldn't know a tractor from a turnip truck. But those guys sure looked pretty in their dresses.
Exactly, and a lot of the people who were at Jan 6 were from upper middle class suburban white america who flew in to DC taking time off from their cushy jobs to larp as revolutionaries.
This is a big point. I briefly took a job in Northern California two years ago and met more openly-racist bigots and transphobes than I ever met in my Appalachian hometown
I've made comments about how Mississippians are not what they're made out to be. Not a welcome comment around here.
There's an important distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. The south would like you toe believe that anything non-urban is redneck, this is not so.
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.
I had no idea what you were talking about but JFC what a cringy bunch of freaks. The Wikipedia article had photos that turned my stomach.
It's a longstanding Philadelphia tradition with a problematic history of casual and overt racism.
It’s problematic just because of the stupid shit they’re wearing. WTF?!?!
Some of the costumes are rather intricate and impressive. And then sometimes they're 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.
I’m sure the kids love a spectacle but the aesthetic of it all makes feel physically ill.
It's a joke about Green Day's recent concert where they replaced the line "I'm not a part of the redneck agenda" with "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda" in their song American Idiot.
I am aware
Yep. I would say im pretty redneck and given the chance id kick him in his tiny orange cock.
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.
It also didn't work for Hilary in spectacular fashion.
Bingo

Cody Barlow ain't no bigot
Fuck off no they ain't.
This is some full-on stirrin'-somes-shit probably-russian/chinese-originated bullshit meant to divide folks up. Real rednecks would never hand their liberty to some two-bit lyin sack of shit New York Billionaire landlord's son swindler like Trump
When I was dating, I laughingly told a girl I was "kinda redneck".
"Uh, exactly how redneck?"
"I loathe Trump and don't start me on January 6th. If that's what you're asking."
"Whew. Just checking."
I like huntin', fishin', farmin', shootin' the revenuers that try to bust my still and steal my 'shine, and I stand in solidarity with my fellow workers against the evils of capitalism.
Is that sufficiently redneck?
(I don't actually like fishing; I think it's boring, and I don't like fish very much.)
LOL, I'm on the water with my kayaks, canoe and little plastic boat, "Caught anything?"
"Uh, no. Just stopping on sandbanks and drinking Keystones. Walking around the woods and such. Uh, how about you? Catch anything?"
Rednecks are historically left. Big on unions.
Historically Republicans were instrumental in abolishing slavery. Today's version wants it back.
Not the indiana kind.

Bullshit
I'm born and raised in Appalachia, my daddy worked in the coal mines and drove an 18 wheeler. Certified redneck enough that I confuse the shit out of my New England neighbors.
I went out and marched with striking nurses when Bernie put out the call, and I've never voted Republican in my entire fucking life.
OP, you need to learn what a redneck is.
I've been described by people as redneck, but I'm not remotely MAGA
...and therefore I support Green Day dunking on MAGA instead of me XD
I live in Oklahoma, drive an Old Green Truck™, have a lazy dog of unknown breed, and I work in a machine shop. Last week my neighbor and I rebuilt a motorcycle engine and put it in his bike. My wife and I have chickens. I'm a pretty sterotypical "redneck".
I've voted democrat in every election since 2000.
It sounds like OP is terribly confused, and is associating people from two different groups while they really have nothing in common, which is something MAGA dipshits also do.
It would appear that based blanket statements aren't the sole domain of MAGA shitbags.
This isn't helping, and it isn't true.
Pictured:
- /r/liberalgunowners patch
- Ukraine patch
- Imperial Storm Trooper AR-15 (OK, you kinda got me on that one.)
- wife's Christmas present (hot pink Bersa Thunder .380)
- Pilipino flag
- 20-yo hat, bought before assholes took over the flag
- 20-round mag, kinda prefer the 10s, standard 30s are a bit much for reasons
Not pictured:
- Ukrainian flag
- Dark-skin, green card-carrying wife. Not a US citizen, doesn't care much, maybe someday.
OK, the crushed Keystone cans scream redneck, but not MAGA.
To top it off, that's in Florida, where it's perfectly OK to paint us with a fat "conservative asshole who deserves whatever happens to them" brush.
And 01/06 gave me fucking PTSD thank you very fucking much. And I don't say that lightly.
(Glad I took a minute on this post! Found some cool new patches.)
Gonna be straight, the hand guard doesn't scream MAGA, but it's kinda borderline fudd-y. :P A carbon fiber M-LOK hand guard and a low-profile gas block would be better, unless you're reeeeaaaaaalllllly attached to that A2 front sight post.
I still prefer the 30 round magazines, since they're cheap, easy to find, and are better for making it through high round count matches without lots of reloads. :)
As an aside to all of that, when I talk to younger people at matches--I'm probably about your age, maybe a little older--many of them are in favor of things Dems say that they're in favor of (except gun control). I think that's one of the sticking points for a lot of the younger rednecks in rural parts of the country.

But musicians shouldn't get political! That song was never political before! Wah!
Heavy on the /s
I’m a lefty to the bone and have been since I was a kid. I’ve spent most of my life in the south and have met some amazing redneck folks that don’t fit into this mold.
Basically, don’t put your potential working class allies into a box.
Eat shit OP. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
