It is filled with statements like: "The problem is rural America doesn’t understand itself and will NEVER listen to anyone outside their bubble."

and

"They truly believe this is a legitimate response because to them education is not to be trusted."

and this:

"Another problem with rural, Christian, white Americans is they are racists."

Offensive generalization after offensive generalization. It is insulting and patronizing.
