Bunch of family automatically like the posts at first, just cause they see Foxworthy.
But it delivers the message in a way they're forced to receive it.
And it's also insulting, which is the only language those clowns understand.
And not kidding, some have started to come around as a result.
Plus, they're kinda funny.

I appreciate the humor of the memes. But, if you watch Jeff, Ron White, and even Larry the Cable Guy' specials, especially more recent, there are some very progressive messages purposely mixed inside genuinely funny jokes. https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1OWlqZW55ZThxeGxoZHgweXBjeHIxeDcwdnh4bWowY3R3MDRiY2g0NyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/kLFBECfWN3iWQ/200w.webp

he never said any of those quotes.
you've purposefully misrepresented him

I blame Jeff Foxworthy a probably unreasonable amount for Donald Trump. Because around my area back in the early 2000's the popularity of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour made it suddenly cool to be a redneck and led to a bunch of these kids growing up to be the big truck, bass boat fake redneck. Those same kids started flying confederate flags (we live in PA) and spouting generally racist nonsense and most of them never grew out of it.

It's not unreasonable to blame him and anyone that perpetuated lies and false stereotypes for profit, all while enabling the situation we're in now. Hence the reason I'm using their own idols against them. Just in case it wasn't clear, I made the quotes up. These aren't evidence of a career pivot by him to save face, or anything.

Darn. Was hoping he'd actually said those, unlikely as it seemed.

It was extremely unclear that you made up the quotes. They were attributed to him with no qualifiers, and until this comment it had not occurred to me that he might not have said those things.
I recently watched a short clip of him talking about getting up at 5am every day to help feed hungry people, and his realization about the complexities of addiction and homelessness and that bad things can happen to really good people. It sounds like he has opened hiis mind a bi from his redneck shtick...

...so it was entirely believable that he'd come around like this and started calling out his peers.
