It’s the same reason all around the world: India, China, Australia, Venezuela, Romania, Kenya: Hicks.
Hicks are everywhere. And they vote for regressive authoritarians for any number of reasons, most of them wrong.
Fear... Humans have an evolutionary and natural fear of the unknown... If you live way out in the middle of nowhere, pretty much everything outside your tiny bubble is unknown, and therefore scary. Then assholes come in and use that fear to their advantage. "Everything you're afraid of IS horrible and out to get you! Vote for me and I'll protect you"
I love classism
Oh there you go bringing class into it again
