Here, here!

There is no place on earth so anti-progressive than Midwest small towns. There are also no places on earth so plagued with opioid addiction and all that entails.

You hit the nail on the head! You did fail to mention the extreme right motorcycle gangs and their noise. That's usually another "threat" that goes along with small towns who voted Trump into office.

Thanks for this. Sadly, I grew up in one of those as well.
