The politics I was think of were reversed in terms of class implications. I meant...
Politician/Lobbist/Religious Leader: "Attention Southerner, see how the evil, elitist Hollywood oppresses you with derision. He resents your faith. Donate $$$ to [organization] to help restore the power of good Christians by helping to end abortion/evolution in school curriculum/restrictions on oil drilling/fiscal restraint."

It sounds stupid, but that's how it plays out.
