Just want to add that the Religious fundamental right is not one and the same with the conservative right.

I don't have a 'group' because it's difficult to group those that don't view everything as strictly black or white.
Weird, you take a very black./white stance, but unsurprisingly see it as nuanced.

I don't know about that. My default assumption on everything I believe is that I'm wrong. There's just some people that have somehow managed to be even more wrong than me.

It's interesting to me how poor people are always cast as victims, unless they're rural white people. Those people are endlessly demonized.

It's not really that they're demonized, it's that they're looked at as victims. Victims that are too stupid to realize they are victims, and who if you point that out to them, will take pride in their ignorance of said victimhood.
Another problem with rural Christian white Americans is they are racists.

Personally, I thank God for the mid American, Religious Right and their naivete. I make an obscene amount of money selling them "dreams".... They know it but are powerless to say "NO"
What do you sell them?
Unless, of course, they're Lefties, then it's open season and you yourself are quite an enthusiastic contributor of record.

Applying to groups and identities their interests, their concerns and their voting habits is the racist conclusion of the neo-apartheid of identity politics.
