I don't live in a rural area, but in a mid-sized Ohio city. Any area with a concentration of white evangelical churches will have lots of Donny fans--who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that Covid will disappear on November 4 and how Donny was sent by God and how they could NEVER vote for god-less, abortion-loving Democrats.

It doesn't help when our state legislators say they won't wear masks because "they are made in God's image" (Yes, that clown made national news) or Gym Jordan gets big press for throwing a tantrum on TV.

I am often gobsmacked at how incredibly clueless some of my educated neighbors are. Things are going GREAT for them, so why vote for a Democrat?
