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

        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.
