Of course you don’t, because it’s an assumption and a generalisation that you’re hinging your entire tirade upon
This was a nice post about a nice group of people that YOU decided to shit upon and suggest they were likely just " good ol boys " because they drove a truck.
You literally brought up the strawman yourself when you said “but what if they were black or hispanic or trans” as if those people are all incapable of forming social connections that would put them in contact with their own version of Kevin.
You’re straw manning, then pointing the finger at anyone that calls you out on it and telling “abelist” and whataboutism-ing at them until they stop talking to you. If you’re doing this in real life as well the there’s no wonder you’ve ostracised yourself.
Want to know if your argument is ever making a generalisation in bad faith?
I also never said that everyone who drives a truck is a fascist. I only said that a lot of them are,

It’s neither of those things. It’s an observation and personal experience.
And I didn’t say “I don’t know how else to explain it” like you tried insinuating by butchering it out of context. I said IF you don’t see the connection, THEN I don’t know how else to explain it. That’s a completely different statement. The shortcoming is yours, not mine.

More butchering of my statements, and you accuse me of strawmanning?!?
I’m telling you, the average “kevin with a truck” in smalltown, usa is going to have some exclusionary biases like racism and homophobia. You don’t have to believe me, you can say “nuh uh, doubt.” But twisting my words into something I didn’t say is fucked up.

That’s literally not what a generalization is. I made it explicitly clear that what I’m doing is not generalizing. I clearly acknowledged that it’s not some sweeping blanket statement.
What I did was state a trend. Trends and generalizations are not the same thing.
