A theory im playing around with that the apparent Vulgarity and crudeness of American country/redneck/Conservative culture is actually an adaptive mode of Counter signaling akin to Orthodox Jewish or Amish cultural adaptations to maintain high birth rates and internal cultural coherence in the face of the homogenizing anti-natalist effects of Mainstream Global-liberal-urban monoculture...
American redneck/conservative culture, and Orthodox Jews especially are unique in being the only wealthy cultures to maintain high birth rates beyond the global middle-income, and that both adapted and are defined by their hostile largely hostile relationship with the the most advanced strains of the global mono-culture found in Urban America and the Urbanized anglo-world.
Nations as far afield as Hungary, China, and Iran are trying to save themselves from declining birthrates... Should they try to import American Country culture?

Notes -
What is the birthrate of "American redneck/conservative culture"? Low confidence, but my prediction is that the fertility rate for Trump-voting young women is below replacement. It may even be lower than the U.S. average given the racial demographics.
Outside of specific religious groups, is there ANY white subgroup in the world whose fertility rate is above replacement?
There is actual evidence to support that Republican whites in the US have a replacement birthrate.
Is it stable or rising, though?
