I happen to be related by marriage to an Iowa hog farmer. He and his neighbors are racist, fear change, and happily and unthinkingly pour hog waste into streams, burn piles of tires, and complain unceasingly about those Democrats with all their rules and regulations. When people attempt to talk to them about their well being and best interest, they refer to nonsense they hear from Fox. I know we can't talk down to them, but we have to remind them that much of the good they have seen in the past four years came from Democrats without any help from the Republican elected officials they so revere. (I'm an English Major too.)
