dude, I grew up in a middle-class family. I've spent the past five years working stockroom jobs (most recently while putting myself through grad school). I've lived in big blue cities and small red cities. I'm a beer-swilling GEOSCIENTIST living in Texoma for fuck sake.
believe me, I understand WHY rural working-class conservatives think what they do about experts, and why they so consistently vote against their own interests, and how easily a healthy skepticism turns into a pathological contrarianism. but that doesn't mean it's in anyone's interests to go along with that line of thinking.

is it literally all you've got that some academics are out of touch? reads like a lot of whining desu senpai
