When I was younger I was probably 80% redneck with all the red man I was chewing and skoal I was dipping, and operating all kinds of construction equipment, and sometimes just on a farm tractor bush hogging the land my Dad used to own.
Now, maybe I am 30%. If something really needs a bolt and a nut and I have nothing on hand that fits I may use some tie wire or something for a quick fix.
I love the pics showing people making a pool in a truck bed, stuff like that I just find cool. Who cares they are in overalls or whatever while in a pool.
The pics of old guys playing banjos get old.
But like while ago the pic of the plunger on the windshield holding the gps or phone or whatever was great.
And I think the late great Charlie Daniels hit the nail on the head with these lyrics from "In America" :
And we may have done a little bit
Of fightin' amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us
alone
'Cause we'll all stick together
And you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies
And the rebels and and the yanks
We all change all the time, but I hope we can always stick together and laugh and have fun and help each other as needed.
The last few years I have seen first hand how so many people just get offended way too easy.
I am not even going into any of that except I am sad that they seem not able to laugh and have fun, for some reason they just want to be miserable and complain about something.
Chill out. We will help you any way we can.
I hope not only the USA, but the whole world can come together soon, and we can all be easy going, and ready to help each other.
All the rednecks I know are some of the most friendly and helping people I know.
(I am only 30%, so don't ask for my shirt, but I will try to give advice if I am decent at the topic).
