To a lot of rural people, I don’t fully blame them. Rural areas have been gutted over the decades and left the people there feeling politically used and abandoned. Trump was something different. Hilary, Biden, or Harris would have represented more of the same decay and they knew that and were willing to take a chance. People paying more attention knew trump wasn’t going to do anything for anybody but himself but most voters don’t look into things that deep.
The greatest lie Trump ever got people to believe is that a billionaire from New York isn’t an ‘elite’.
