9. They think they've prepped

Peruse the plethora of YouTube channels in which they congratulate themselves for having gardens, raising chickens, livestock, etc. I certainly admire their self-suffiency and credit them for putting in the hard work to keep themselves afloat. The more skills all of us possess the greater our adaptability. In the poorer red states ( which constitute most red states), they are accustomed to being poor. That doesn't scare them. What lights their fire is their narrative of perpetual victimhood which can be assuaged only by doling out suffering to those whom they perceive as having taken advantage of them by obtaining an education and securing a job. I am not certain what message would resonate with them. They appear to be determined to anchor their allegiance to one who demonstrates the attributes of the Anti Christ. It may be more productive to more ahead without them as in blue states working together to secure what we can for our citizens. We can only hope that they, eventually, catch up.
