I was thinking something like Christofascist parents bringing a list of books to the Christofascist school boards that have been deemed sufficiently full of hate as to be individually approved to be in the classroom.
I dunno. I’m just so cynical on all this stuff these days that it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they found a way. Keeping my fingers crossed I’m wrong.
One of my favorites - I’m crossing the street as a pedestrian, a car waiting to turn is waiting for me to get across, and everyone behind them (who still have a clear view of me) are honking at them for not going.
Other sources were already posted in the comments showing that “redneck” referring to farmers predates its usage to refer to coal miners/communists. Definitely agree there’s a lot of stuff conveniently left out of our history books, though.

The job prospects aren’t why I left the rural southeastern US, and they aren’t the reason I’ll never go back there.
These people were warned about the brain drain their bullshit would cause. I have no sympathy for them or their towns’ dwindling tax revenues.
