This is really about conservatism. It was like this long before Trump came into the picture. Conservatives don't like change or things that are different. It's not surprising that they tend to gravitate toward fast food restaurants, which is consistent over time, and from place to place. If you don't like "different," you'll be more inclined to get the same, old Big Mac than you would try, say, an Indian restaurant.
