And like stop wishing these guys into existence. Your allies are in fact more like annoying wine moms and other libs. Sorry you have to hear that, but it's fucking true. You aren't picking up votes for socialism from the backwoods. You need to be working to defeat them.

Not all history is the same everywhere, but it would be nice if more people did give history a good look over outside of the Really Big And Dramatic Events.

Yeah but then they're gonna have to do actual socialism, the icky kind that involves urbans and rootless cosmopolitans.

I'm v. sympathetic to the idea there are large Dem bases in the South, particularly in VA, GA, TX, and NC, that can power flips, but also those people are not the farmer/miner coalitions of the 1920s, they're in more diverse enclaves like Austin, Atlanta, Research Triangle & NVA. Time changes

Miners I at least understand ( it's pretty much just labour and very unpleasant labour at that ) but the history of farmers and socialism is mixed at best because it turns out that farmers are often private land owners.
