Like wanting less pig shit to end up in our water supply. Like not beating the shit out of gay students just because they are gay. Like not being questioned why you have been absent from the local church meetings. Like not wanting your public school to be pushing christian nationalism in the classrooms.

It seems to me that rural folks often say we city dwellers and suburbanites look down our noses at them. It is true that some of us do. It is equally true that some rural folks look down their noses at us too. "Try that in a small town."
