(15,805 posts)You strongly believe that the good people you know as friends and neighbors are on the cusp of some monumental political change. That's an anecdotal tale. The facts don't match your perceptions.
Time will tell if those right bent farmers can free themselves of a lifetime of closely held Republican propagada. The odds aren't in their favor.
I don't doubt that the people you talk to are grumbling and complaing about Trump's government, that's always a lively topic for conversation. But can they escape decades of cult like programming and escape from the GOP and all their related messengers?
The data is there. When is comes time to vote the probability factor looks predictably like they will do the same thing they have always done and vote a straight Republican ticket to re elect Trump.
I hope I'm wrong. Maybe we'll see a New Age of Enlightment where your farmer friends cast off their shackles and switch to Dem candidates.
