I think you are right. I live in a highly educated bastion of Clinton supporters in the the Bay Area and my family supports Clinton except for a husband who voted for Trump (Fox news is his station) ...I also live and have for almost my whole life in a rural part of central Oregon where my friends are a very different mix....yes there are lots of Clinton supporters but some of the nicest folks I know who have been invaluable when my Dad was dying or my husband terribly sick...voted for Trump, and they would help me always.

For the most part these guys don't have college degrees although often they have done very well financially. They tend to be evangelicals; they are good folks in an area where getting to "town" is a 50 mile trip and helicopter service is our emergency medical deal (in good weather)....

I suspect, I have never asked....that their more conservative views fit with their understanding of their religion...what I do know is just how gracious they have been to me.....
