I don't think it's made up, but I'm not sure how much of that is Trump and how much is geography. I do think you'd see more confederate flags at a Democratic rally in Greensboro than a Trump one in Massachusetts or Chicago. Just like the uber-progressive Sanders supporters probably aren't showing up as much in your facebook feed as they are in someone like mine who grew up in and went to college in Massachusetts. Yeah, technological advances and ease of travel have made the country a lot more homogeneous, but there are still pretty drastically different cultures.
