This is an excellent thread, which goes beyond the initial dunk (which others have done) to make an astute analysis of class in rural America.https://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1314578622246719488 …

Jeet Heer added,
One thing I'll add is that we do need class analysis of right-wing violence, but one that is grounded in reality. Base of violent right isn't working class but hinterland petty bourgeois (i.e. the well-to-do members of often economically depressed areas).
O Retweeted Dr Sarah Taber
Both sides engage in mythmaking. The thread you RTed implies the rural poor are mostly BIPOC, which is objectively untrue:https://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1314578629670711298 …
O added,
"their REAL oppressed workforce, mostly BIPOC," Do you believe the majority of the wealthy's "oppressed workforce" is BIPOC?
You're moving the goalpost. You wrote: "The thread you RTed implies the rural poor are mostly BIPOC" -- "rural poor" isn't the same as the overall oppressed workforce.
She tweeted "rural poverty is heavily skewed Latinx, Black, & Indigenous." Whites accounted for 80 percent of the general rural population and 65 percent of the rural population in poverty in 2017 per the USDA. Is that heavily skewed to you?
Please look up how the word "skewed" is used by social scientists. It'll clarify your thinking on this.
