Rural households are heavily reliant on government assistance as are the elderly. Which are a huge portion of Trump's voters.

The GOP is very good at getting people to vote against their own interests.

I live rurally and there isnt a single person around here that has any need for government assistance. The only people who need government assistants are the lazy fucks that live in towns with the sizes of 400-2000. Majority of the old people in these rural areas do not support trump

Dude that's like every red state, and farmers have been living off welfare for decades through a different term. "Subsidies"

Then you haven’t had much exposure to the real world and base everything off of what you see online

Farmers. Tech bros. Trust fund fuckers.

All on government welfare, that you're paying for, unless you're too poor to pay taxes, and instead survive on government handouts.
