On the "rural organizer"

Another Halloween costume meme popped up on my Twitter feed yesterday, this one from Eli Hilbert (@ReptomCraddick), who identifies as "they/he | Poli Sci Major at UTSA | Partnerships Coordinator at TPFG | Former President of the Permian Basin Young Democrats."  

The "Not included" items are:

  • Pettiness
  • Unbelievable amounts of faith in the goodness of people
In a subsequent Tweet, Hilbert added: 
If you’ve never sat at a white plastic folding table with a 75 year old woman in a county Democratic Party headquarters, I do not want to hear anything from you about organizing

This post from a few days ago features another Halloween costume meme depicting a rural stereotype.
