Edit: I was reading two different articles and got them mixed up, so I apologize. I thought I was on this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32411493

The rest of this post will probably be very confusing.

I understand the sentiment. However, real life is more complex than that. For example, this article in particular is talking about an area around Ann Arbor. I have a friend who lives in this area (in a rural house). He's a tech worker. His neighbor is a tech worker. His brother around the corner used to be a tech worker. I've been to the gun range near his house several times, and each time it is populated by a diverse (age, race, sex) group of people.

On the flip side, there are folks (without children) at the local school board meeting trying to have certain books removed. A council in the area recently got into trouble for misallocating covid funds as personal bonuses.

It's a constant battle, but painting everyone in a rural area with the same brush is a mistake.
