Some young rural voters get educations, develop a more realistic world view, and then move to a city because that’s where the good, higher paying, jobs are. The ones that don’t get educations stay rural, ignorant, and poor. Stay in school, OP.
Remember in Field of Dreams how the family was treated and banished from the community for not supporting book bans and building a baseball field, that is what they are afraid of. Farmers depend on their community a lot and isolation leads to trouble.
Pretty much. As a young, educated transplant in a tiny rural town (random job took me there for a couple years), I had a completely different world view than the locals. There was a promising 16-year old asking me a lot about college and what it was like, etc. After I moved away I found out he never left, got a girl pregnant, and now lives and works in that small town like everyone else. Alas the cycle continues. They all continue to fly their trump flags while being unable to afford healthcare and groceries.
