Actually I did the math based on a couple stats and you're right about the amount of white ruralites. 14% of the American population is rural, 78% of the rural population is white, 56% of the American population is white. So it checks out. Not sure how many of those grow their own food though, couldn't find numbers on that. I haven't been to the flyover states at all so maybe you're right there.

Whites with alt right views were estimated to be quite large as well back in 2015.

How were they defining alt right back then? I remember the original definition was pretty mild.

It is shocking to me that rural America is 80% white. That's a large "working class" that you simply do not hear about at all in the present "socially minded" culture. These people are only ever mentioned in order to be insulted, demeaned or demonised.

There's a growing genre of movies basically encouraging people to go hunt these types down

That's one of the most disturbing traits of 21st century America, if you ask me.

The silver lining is once America gets that bad it will be unable to stop other nations from asserting their own will. Nationalist elements of European armies may have an opening there

Interesting data. Thanks for researching and sharing out.

How were they defining alt right back then?

Not sure exactly. All I remember was some researcher that wrote an article with VOX. He estimated 11-18 million? Maybe it was even higher? Then he was forced to revise his numbers down.

edit. found it
