Given all the facts it's crazy that non-urban areas of the US are so backwards and terrible.

I feel that there isn't enough of a focus on class issues in the US because that's what this is- a lot of the people involved are non-white democrats, and it's not an issue of improper/racist decisions per se- it's just literal incompetence and lack of care for anyone without resources to stand up for themselves.

At least in urban areas there are some (probably upperclass) people willing to work on the most egregious human rights violations in the court system.

In some town in Texas no one is around to advocate for your most basic rights.
