In reply to the discussion: Rural voters live in their own bubble too [View all]Horse with no Name
(34,240 posts)I really thought I was going to be able to get out in the next few months.
The majority of women in this bubble think ONLY about those poor babies that are murdered by the godless liberals.
The young women are a puzzle.
I've put considerable thought in this the past few days...and I think one of the biggest things that I can put a finger on is the high rate of divorce in my generation. I am only speaking of anecdotal rural women that I have seen myself and have no idea how it breaks down across the spectrum.
These young women (many from broken homes) in these small rural areas have married their "man" and have basically reverted back to the 50's and "intend to take care of him"...in other words, so that they don't have to raise their kids in a broken home. The second set are those who have completely changed their worldview after they met their "man" in order to keep him. Many of these young woman already have children from other relationships (many in which the bio Dad's are not involved).
This rural area has a high rate of drug abuse--the local pharmacy doesn't even stock hydrocodone anymore.
There are a few factories that the men work in....the women (if they work) work in the Dollar Store or convenience stores--there are some that are nurses and others that are teachers (these are lifer jobs--they don't turn over).
Again, just my observations.
