I'm confused as to why both the left and the right have rushed to embrace this book, given that it's thesis is that poor white trash are poor because they're stupid and lazy.

GC tries to hedge against contingencies which might threaten its position. there doesn't need to be a specific candidate yet for "populism" to be seen as a potential threat.

populism rises --> GC mints its own "populist" candidates --> GC is safe

the sad thing is, an actual cynical look at modern rural america would be a fascinating background for a film or a TV series, IF it were actually written by someone who wasn't shilling for the masters of the current system.

most rural poors aren't constantly shooting at each other. the bigger story of rural america is the goddamn meth and pills and heroin. and that's a fairly quiet series of deaths, which is part of why it was ignored for so long.

also, most of rural america isn't appalachia; it's more mundane than that. the LOSS of rural clannishness is an undertold story; families drift apart and there is a general unmooring from the traditional social structures that kept things stable.

this is related to economic shifts and so on. an unsparing, cynical scriptwriter could put these things together into a compelling story, but it wouldn't be popular with executives due to the grim view of global capitalism, mass-immigration, etc. it would necessarily entail.

Ah well said. I misunderstood you. Of course, Justified is a pulp crime show, and while it does cover the opiate/heroin pushers it does so in a whimsical energetic way. I agree that a truly bleak portrait of rural life would make for an interesting show.
