Two urban professors give their views on what they believe is happening in rural America and why it votes so overwhelmingly Republican. While undoubtedly holding many valid arguments, the authors can't hide their anger at people in rural areas who don't think as they do. This book is full of generalizations that lump all people in rural communities and on farms into one homogenous mindset, and that is its greatest drawback. The reader would do well to read more widely about this subject.

A fascinating and scholarly look at how rural America is changing in the Era in Trumpism. Learned a lot. I found the history if trucks as a symbol particularity fascinating. A great read.
