Yes, it should be “We hicks.” Not “Us hicks.”

He’s one of us. Not one of ‘we’. LOL
A familiar, comforting dialect out here in middle America.

Colloquial, conversational, informal refers to types of speech or to usages not on a formal level. Colloquial is often mistakenly used with a connotation of disapproval, as if it meant “vulgar” or “bad” or “incorrect” usage, whereas it is merely a familiar style used in speaking and writing. Conversational refers to a style used in the oral exchange of ideas, opinions, etc.: an easy conversational style. Informal means without formality, without strict attention to set forms, unceremonious: an informal manner of speaking;it describes the ordinary, everyday language of cultivated speakers.

To have read the whole article and then only comment on Daniel’s deliberate use of illiterate grammar bespeaks the thought process of a liberal, a snowflake, a Democrat, or a RINO—never debate the substance, only the form.

What do you think about what he had to say?

No, he would probably say: Pound sand if you can't take a joke... dickhead.
