Many vote red.
Go out to the rust belt and old mining towns. Or decaying ag towns.
That is why the GOP will not take on welfare
I have to be honest, I fell into the typical trap about thinking of urbanites on welfare, and forgot to consider deep appalachia and depress rural areas.
However, correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s a little bit easier to survive in rural places on little or no income because of the lower tax and rent burdens and lower costs of living, plus aid from local community and religious charitable organizations without being as heavily reliant on the government when you are stuck in the middle of a high tax concrete jungle. Specially before Obamacare mandates and local town physicians who didn’t charge an arm and a leg for simple care.
