(5,689 posts)I honestly would have figured that maybe 50-75% of Republican voters were still in Trump's thrall, but not rep. leaning Independents. All it takes for the next election is for all the voter suppression tactics to be successful and we get Trump or someone worse again.

(32,017 posts)But, after having lived in rural America for a couple of years, I am not shocked. The people around me are BORED ... terribly bored. They seek out drama. They even create drama because their own lives are, quite often, hopeless and meaningless.
The vibe in the cities is very different. Urban people generally prefer to minimize the drama in their lives because theres too much drama all around them all the time.
