    This is more about me and my skewed perspective than it is about Americans… but it’s easy to get the impression that amongst every group of 10 seppos there are 5 hipsters and 5 MAGA-cap-wearing idiots. Logically I know that this is false but it’s hard to supplant this image.

    A while back I started watching a youtube channel about 4wd recovery or something in texas. They just seem like cool normal people, I’d be stoked to meet them while “wheeling” or what have you. The thing is, I’m pretty sure they would be Trump voters just because of where they are.

    Would it be more accurate to suppose that maybe 2 thirds of people every where are just kind of normal people who aren’t as obsessed with politics as I am, but they do tend to line up behind whatever party their friends, family, and forebears have?
