>Who reads this stuff? Self assured coastal folks who are looking to justify their hatred of rural Americans? This piece wasn’t written to educate or inform, just further stoke derision. If you want to minimize stoking derision look inwards first before you look outwards. It seems clear from what I quoted you're fine with derision as long as it's against the groups you don't like but not the other way around. Which is the real problem in america and not some new yorker article.
