It's one thing to say "their constituents support bad policies and are being cruel," which is totally fair. They are being cruel. They are supporting bad policies. They are often voting in a way that is even against their own self-interest just to "own the libs." But it's another to call them literally illiterate and play into redneck stereotypes, i.e. engaging in the exact same of social behavior they do against their political opponents. What they are doing and supporting is terrible on its own.
