To hazard a guess: simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

farmers deserve better in this country. corporate takeovers, shitty media, and stripped education is making rural areas worse and worse each year

Hypothetically I agree, but it's also hard to feel a lot of sympathy knowing that farmers tend to enthusiastically vote for the politicians who then undermine farmers.

Roughly 1/3 of Farmers are also subsidized by the US government, but -to your point- they're also pretty easily swayed by dangling some social issue that gets them to vote against or for whatever- mostly as a result of being unable to divest themselves from the social and cognitive conditioning that comes from organized religion, which is still dense as bricks, in farm country.

She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.

She'll never be able to get a job with this permanently on the internet. Who would ever trust her to do anything?
