      It’s 100% fantasy though, small towns don’t care about any of that any more than cities. His “small towns” dwarf the population of my county and we have places where the serious growers are that the police only go to with lots of backup. Flag burning is just Bob being Bob and it ain’t hurtin nobody. You cause too much trouble and people might start talking about you and quit inviting anywhere but church but there’s not going to be a mob after you. Small towns tend to be a lot more libertarian than nationalistic in their conservatism.
