There will be some charming, schmalzy story about a lifelong farmer in rural Nebraska and his he feels betrayed and how he felt heard by Trump etc. And in several hundred or even thousands of words there will never be an acknowledgment of the (popular) majority of the country.

This particular aggrieved minority is somehow worthy of radical humanization in American media, achieved via literal erasure of the presence of other people in this country/world in the telling of their story as some sort of national synecdoche. Hallmark channelification 🙄.

Lol, have you ever been to the rural Midwest? Those ppl really do think they are the beating moral heart of America, and that this is “their” country: all us urbanites, minorities, and LGBTQA people are just, well, like renters — we’re here by dint of them allowing us to be here.
