Yeah like others have said, the major metropolitan areas/college towns are pretty liberal, but set foot outside them and weeeeell...

I grew up in the country and it's about as conservative/right wing as can be, my college was close to Dallas, OR which was rumored to have an active KKK presence, but apparently this is just a myth [this was ~10 years ago] but I believed it at the time since there's a ton of racist idiots in that area

Also Ashland owns, and it's hilarious that the whole drive down from Salem was littered with VOTE OUT THE DEMOCRATS and FIRE OBAMA signs in peoples' fields everywhere

I don't think having pets is specifically a white trash thing but I think I get where you're coming from, because it seems like a very white trash thing to not believe in getting your pets neutered and/or running shady breeding operations out of your house.

The most White Trash experience involving pets I've personally witnessed was someone I knew in college whose family had two giant Newfoundland dogs, purebred with official AKC papers and names (their registered names were Puff the Dragon Magic and Poof You're A Pile of poo poo - yes really - but the family called them Puff and Poof. I really think they had them for the "prestige" of having expensive, thousand-dollar dogs and no other reason, because they basically lived in a pen that took up half the kitchen and in the backyard, and no one ever walked them or really played with them or gave them much attention. I mean luckily they had each other for company, but they got really excited when people were around and wanted human attention and didn't really get it. Ok, now that I'm writing about this I remember how sad/mad I felt about it at the time. Oh, and the other thing is that neither dog was fixed, so when the girl dog was in heat they had to lock the boy dog in the garage or something so they wouldn't end up with accidental puppies. God drat it, now I'm mad about this all over again.

Also, a coworker of mine told me about how his sister had ten cats at one point, not because she's a crazy cat lady but because her cat got accidentally pregnant so they had kittens, and then her roommate's cat did the same thing so they had a total of ten cats and kittens for awhile but gave most of the kittens away. I told him my cat is fixed AND I never let her outside and he reacted like this was the craziest thing anyone has ever said.

And ALSO, when I lived in rural Illinois I listened to an office conversation about how a guy was recommended by a vet to get his dog neutered to make him calmer and more manageable, I can't remember the specifics but it seemed like there were several compelling reasons to get it done, but the guy just couldn't bear to do it because the dog would "miss his balls too much."

Sorry for wall-o-text, I just get mad when fuckwits are irresponsible with their pets.

It's one of those "Not all people who own pets are White Trash, but all White Trash own pets" things. Being White Trash and/or Poor is about the immediate pleasure, such as giving your kid a dog for Christmas, and never really considering the idea of 9+ years of being responsible for a living being, which White Trash is not very good at.

My grandma grew up in Eugene; they had a low-key klan presence at the time (this was 1912-33 or so). When she went to school, the klansmen's kids would shout anti-irish, anti-catholic slurs at her and try to bean her with rocks. She still had a couple scars on her head when I knew her, at around age 70-90.

I doubt it's changed that much, it's only been 100 years.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

In the same way that reasonable, responsible people will have 1 or 2 children as a part of a well thought out family planning strategy; they will also raise a cat or dog or two.

White trash on the other hand pop out unplanned, poorly behaved kids left and right, in addition to running impromptu puppy mills out of their back yard.

If he feels that strongly about immigrants, etc you'd think he'd at least drive an American car.

Oh wait, Volvos are Swedish. The driver of this car probably considers Swedes to be a pure white Aryan race or some poo poo, making it ok. Did Volvo make cars for the Nazis or something? I honestly don't know.

The Celtic cross seems to be this dog whistle that most people still don't recognize. The swastika has more than one meaning too but it's usually pretty obvious that people who use it in the Western world in this day and age are racist. The Celtic cross still has a plausible deniability factor.

I mean i think it actually says white pride world wide around that particular sticker but yes i think it was chosen because it vaguely looks like an iron cross, and also because new wave white supremacists are now open to irish and even Catholicism. Hell the aryan brotherhood uses shamrocks as one of their symbols (i think - someone can check thsi for me)
