I think the poster was using deliberately provocative words to call attention to the emotional angle of the debate, not making those judgements themselves.
This is what I was going for and I didn't realize my original comment would be misconstrued so badly.
Except that it was awfully one-sided and appeared to be labeling actual people directly (those in r/wisconsin)
It was one-sided because I was replying to a comment calling rural Wisconsinites easily-misled Republican voting robots. It was an attempt to show balance in the other side's perspective.
