This about rural America sitting in a time bubble, isolated from the rest of the world? This is true.

Our dear values, the Aaron Sorkin kind of shows we love, are meaningless to a population that have always understood the city as a thing to visit one of these days, where multiculturalism is an impossible luxury, and where making do with tthe clothes from 5 years ago is necessary because the factory has been closed since that guy from NY bought it, dismantled it, and started importing the pieces from elsewhere.

They are in the past, because that's what they have, and none of this media we tout and eulogize means anything to them, isolated from the world and only receiving messages from the usual populists messengers.
