At the very least, Fox News would change in an overt manner.

Seeing the Southernification of rural culture **in Canada and Germany** has been a thing.
Which should tell you everything you need to know about the Confederate flag.
In Germany, yes but not to the same degree
It's either the super ignorant or the rich people who don't want to live in the city who are magats here.
The rich ones make it hard for anyone to run as dem, so we don't have a dems running.
But after No Kings and Mamdani, we're talking and working.
Even some MAGA-leaning folk locally are hopping off Trump's disaster-wagon.
So yeah, far from peace and love and all that

Religion.
Abortion.
When you get your world view/news from religious leaders with agendas it isn’t surprising that 91% of rural America votes for their own poverty.
But going back to the why would someone return to a deadend town? I suppose taking care of your folks is one thing but finding work that makes that possible is a legit struggle
Yeah, and to run for political office too. One of the most miserable experiences imaginable.
"Help your neighbor if they have problems" things like that.
My neighbors are staunch Repubs. And they have helped me several times throughout the 4 years I've been here.
but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks,
and then criminalizing both heavily,
we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, vilify them night after
