@malwaretech At the risk of being shouted at for defending their ignorance...I can kind of get it. I think if most of us soul-searched hard enough we'd get it too.
At least where I grew up in the heartland, most of them didn't have any resources but were constantly promised them. If only they vote for Republicans! It would be rare for a Democrat to come in and make any funding promises to them. And usually there aren't many Democrats running locally, very few of those local elections are a contest. Most never seemed to bother being in or staying in those rural areas. Why bother voting for them when they've never done anything positive for you locally? To them, at least Republicans try.
We can blame Fox and the RNC for a lot of national ills, yes. Blame the church and the Prosperity Gospel too. They are all factors.
But when you come down to it, they feel left behind by the Dems and always have. There is no third option to better represent their actual interests. So of course you vote for the devil you know
