I grew up in a small town. My granddad was on the school board. I am a bumpkin at heart even if I got a graduate degree and moved to California to become a coastal elite.

I have 2 advanced degrees, but my great grandparents on both sides were farmers and, while I spent most of my life living in cities, I now live in what is considered as small town by many. It shares Tim Walz’s attitude, “mind your own damn business” when it comes to neighbors. So long as comment is made as a person who isn’t denigrating working folks, as a fellow costal elite myself, I can live with the term. Context makes all the difference.😉
