Whenever someone claims that rural white people are voting against their own interests, I have to correct them. They are voting for their own interests, you just don't understand what their interests are.

Their primary concern is cultural supremacy. Namely white, straight, Christian culture. That's what they vote for.

    its nos surprise that gop isnt getting rid of medicaid/care in those states, the Rs would riot immediately. i know they rail on about medicaid expansion anywhere else. whats the number 1 or 2 medical condition in poorer areas, obesity, and diabetes type 2+ associated comorbidities. and those medications add up in costs. thats why weight loss surgery for obese people makes bank there.
