THE LIBERAL REDNECK TELLS CONSERVATIVES HOW IT IS IN LANGUAGE THEY CAN UNDERSTAND

"Crowder wants all of us to remember that his people cried and died for this country, shedding their blood from Bull Run to Iwo, and they still die disproportionately in modern wars both insanely fought very far away but also right here, in country, on the multiple, tragic battlefields of our horribly fractured national landscape."

Meet Trae Crowder, the “Liberal Redneck.” Imagine, if you will, a man who looks every bit the stock NASCAR fan you’d expect to see lining the streets with Gadsden flags for an upcoming Ted Cruz rally, but with the intelligence and sensibility of the standard liberal. Trae wants the imbeciles of the right to hear his message; a message he delivers in the dialect of the redneck with a slant that is simply hilarious.

When you spend enough time in the liberal world you find out that there are liberals everywhere, no matter how sparse. Still, to hear the case for the transgender community’s right to use the restroom when they need to from a shirtless dude with a froggy southern drawl and the perfectly rounded hat brim comes off as a little bit odd at first right before it turns into beautiful with a chorus of perfection at the end.

The Liberal Redneck really nailed this one:

Crowder wants all of us to remember that his people cried and died for this country, shedding their blood from Bull Run to Iwo, and they still die disproportionately in modern wars both insanely fought very far away but also right here, in country, on the multiple, tragic battlefields of our horribly fractured national landscape.

Wittingly or not, Crowder reminds us that the rural poor labeled “redneck” are as much a national tragedy as the urban poor; they have been sold out, alienated, and dismissed as inferior by too many of us who would rather joke about them than address their fears and grievances and ask how it is possible that in this day and age we have such vast sections of country populated by people who have consistently been left in the dust for generations.

Crowder loves his people. He knows they are smart, resourceful, and desirous of success for themselves and their children. His cure for what he believes ails them is to stop talking trash and start thinking smart.

That’s a damn good prescription for everyone.

I think — I hope anyway — that I get this kid. I so want him to succeed. He has a powerful message that needs to be heard — by ALL of us.
