You make some good points. I think we have to disregard the religous aspect initially because some of that thinking cancels itself out since different sects think different ways.
My mom and dad live in a very small town in North Dakota but I so seldom have been there that I have no real insight into what their thinking is. But I know how insular the limited size and exposure to experience can be.
But the concept that people would vote against their own interests is my point; and I see where you address that.
So what is it; is it spite; the thinking that if someone in one of the big cities is in favor of something then we will be opposed as a matter of course?
In terms of exposure to big city morals; with the computor and television and mandatory educational curricula; not to mention the leaching out of the young to better opportunities in larger areas isn't that whole negative approach irrelevant by now to most people?
When an administration bleeds money from the poor and middle-class and that is very obvious; doesn't that rank as a serious breach of trust. Enough so people get angry and resentfull; as well they should?
