Kentucky actually has a long history of siding with social programs, and ofc it would, it's a great testbed for stressing those systems (sadlol). Lately, we were a model of obamacare adoption, if you'll recall. Then it all went wrong, lol.
A huge part of our bad rap goes -aaaaaaallll- the way back to when wealthy NE states were actively oppressing the residents in order to avail themselves of cheap fossil fuels and farm labor. The term "redneck" as it;s used now comes partly from a reference to a coal miners union that actually fought back....ultimately being menaced by mercenaries and then -bombed-...from the air, by US forces. It was imperative that papers frame the conflict as one between their lofty selves and the degenrate subhuman poors beyond the mountain range, fit only to die in the mines and on the fields. The residents predictably turned to faith and family, as is the pattern in almost every instance of this type of centuries spanning systematic oppression. Who else were they going to turn to?
Unfortunately, that makes them easy marks for a con like Ham. Williamstown, for example, is one of (if not the) jesusiest brugs in the US....but..ultimately, they signed on with Ham in order to get a bigger freeway exit.
