      I was thinking about this bad take again this morning and one of the big reasons it's so bad is that it's utterly unaware of agrarian radical traditions and their strategic erasure in American popular memory.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1432803600909045762 …

      This is a great post. I think it comes down to this: As a country, we needed to give rural White Americans some sort of identity they could be proud of other than Confederacy-style white supremacy. We failed to give them one. https://twitter.com/willwilkinson/status/1432439582436458497 …

      Look, obviously the Populists had a tightly intertwined relationship with white supremacy and settler colonialism. But I think that's besides the real issue here: which is that as far as memory goes, the Populists and their descendants -- hello, Henry Wallace! -- don't exist.

      This wasn't always the case. At the beginning of the Dixiefication of American culture in the late '60s and early '70s there was also at least an *awareness* of the memory of the Popular Front.

      It's revealing that The Band, on the same 1969 record that had "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," the final track was an ode to agrarian radicalism, "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)."

      Even in 1980s/1990s there was a real element of this in Farm Aid & support Jesse Jackson got in rural America.

          Honestly any analysis of this has be grounded materially. It's not simply that "Southern" culture has become dominant in rural white America. It's that the dudes who perform that kind of culture are largely an affluent slice of rural America.

          Yeah, the squeezing out of small farmers is very much part of this story.
