I’m an Indianian by birth... it’s a state that has always been Republican. It doesn’t have those large left cities. It’s made up of farmland/families, basketball, a nice place to live. The schools used to be run by the local communities and those were conservatives...the same people who ran for office and ran the state. Since those years, it just hasn’t strayed as far from those roots as some other states.
Plus they’ve been hit hard with unemployment.
