I grew up in the burbs, a Levitt style development, one black kid in grades 1-8. That town still wants to keep it white. I left when I was 20 and came to live in Seattle. High school was much more integrated as Burlington City had a large black population.
I find myself in a college town in very republican eastern WA State, yeah in spite of facts, they elected sexual predator to a seat in the state legislature rather than vote for the democrat (the predator was removed only last year), county government is gop.
All I can say is STOP watching TV news and opinion shows like fox and friends or the view. Use the internet to learn facts!!

So, to sum up, they support Trump for the hate.

In many areas you can draw a blue circle around the urban areas and color the rest red, no surprise there. Critical thinking skills are obviously missing in education.

I'm in rural Michigan. The farmers are very upset at Trump. I agree with the blue and red map though.

@Boudica But are they upset enough to vote Dem if that candidate is pro-choice and somewhat socialist?

@MizJ , well one thing I know is Bernie track record of working with Reps. Most will work with him because( in the Senate) he has an I after his name not a D. Yes their Irate enough , I think.

@Boudica I wasn't referring to a specific candidate, but yes, that "I" does change things.

A lot of what the author says is ccorrect. Having grown up in a poor rural town in the south, I knew that most of the people there also look up to people who appear to have financial success, and are all too willing to overlook character flaws in the rich person is not directly mean to them.

And if the wealthy individual is mean to "them" even better?

@MizJ They don't timd if the rich person is mean to or takes advantage of "others."

This article is not news, totally opinion, politics .

I disagree, strongly. And, I am speaking from the experience of having grown up in what is now a pro-Trump culture.
