Americans enthusiastically voting against their interests is practically the bedrock of the GOP’s success. The deep red counties in deep red states have the highest poverty, lowest standards of living, and most reliance on social security in the nation. On paper, you’d expect them to support a party with policies designed to improve their lives, but, well, “thats comunism go bak to rusia!!!”
As a case in point, look to the rural town of Curtis in southwest Nebraska. It has a population of around a thousand people who have relied on The Curtis Medical Center for their healthcare needs for the last 30 years. Now, it’s shutting its doors for good.
