I would like to just have a quick say about the 'redneck' label
I know a lot of local farmers and in other states who are highly intelligent and educated people who do not live in big cities on coasts except lakes and look like the combed their hair with a wagon wheel and sometimes wear overalls (!) with dirty soiled knees (what clowns) who are inventive and work hard on their farms -- not simply gardens but there are those too. In the hot sun to grow their fruits to sell at the roadside. Firewood and eggs also for sale, an unmanned high trust lockbox for payment on the roadside. Imagine growing fresh garlic and melons!
There is definitely a rural conspiracy type, that is usually drug addicted to meth usually not farmers
Also a difference can be "conservatively" (time or money you pick) sticking it politically to a local municipality or township government for idiotic zoning or unnecessary projects that offer no local investment or benefit. They might all look the same at a glance.

The above image seems at a glance schizo or something but it really isn't if you know what's going on.
