Old ways and power die hard. The big land barons hated the homesteaders and called them maggots.

Today's privileged rural gentry view city people pretty much the same way.
Geez! You must have a big chip on your shoulder about the rual folk for some reason! Most rual people I know vote conservative and do scoff at the city's voting liberal but they don't go as low to call them maggots. I can't understand why somebody would vote liberal either but I don't call them maggots.
