"Secondly, people, even dumb redneck truckers, aren't as dumb as we like to believe around here."

The writer is saying that people shouldn't think of some drivers as dumb and redneck for upholding war at any cost and not relating it to what it is doing to us.

If he were working at a bait shop he could tell the same story using dumb and redneck war supporting fishermen starting to change their mind.

Dumb and redneck is an unfortunate phrasing for anyone who gives unlimited support to corporate monopoly wars that are mostly multi-national corporations that send jobs and factories out of the country and who bank offshore - hurting our country in every way possible. Dumb and redneck applies to supporting the wars using hate and fear for people of other countries.

Please - I amone who did not read it the way you are taking it. I hope I helped by explaining the way I understood it.
