Hard to argue…
I was just thinking that this morning. We're hearing poll numbers that show Trump voters are finally turning on Trump. It's because Trump is finally hurting THEM. Trump has always harmed American families, Trump supporters have never cared so long as it wasn't THEIR family.
Actually, he has harmed them before; he drove lots of them out of business in his first term, but they are simply too stupid to understand that his policies did that.
I was just listening to TNR's Daily Blast podcast this morning and they were discussing how in rural America, any time anything bad happens they just tend to reflexively blame Democrats. If anything positive happens they reflexively credit Trump/GOP.
That's partly due to democraps being very bad at messaging.
It's also a sign of how skewed the electoral system is; rural voters are a small population by nature... Yet they determine which party dominates the federal government, and they are easy to keep uneducated.
