White, but in Vermont. I think my fellow Northerners get way too smug regarding the “backwards” south. Go outside urban areas in new rngland and youll see the same situation

Yeah it was a little weird wording. Im not in the trades. Trying to be vague because internet, but while I work WITH plumbers and HVAC specialists, and have previously worked in the field, Im not one myself.
I work in the trade industry. Most of these people are conservative boomers. The things these guys say are absolutely horrifying. It isnt just the older guys though. Its the blight of converativism. These dudes say things that sound like they should be said by someone 1000+ years ago or in Saudi Arabia or something. Im talking about not just racism, homophobia, mysoginy but also honor killings, reasons rape can be justified, flying into a blood rage because you feel another has offended your masculinity. Moving to rural America (even in the north) has been incredibly eye opening to how insanely backwards parts of our society is. You have no idea until you see it.
Tankies wpuld literally support the reincarnation of hitler if he said “america bad” they worship genocidal dictators on the sole grounds they oppose America. They hold literally no leftists values. They just like authority
I dont see how that defeats what i said? I live in the whitest state in the union. Probably a contribution to the racism i see is the lack of interaction with diverse communities. People in the north absolutely have a tendency to think we lre perfect up here and its only the south that has racism and bigotry. But its not remotely the case
