Republicans/right-wingers live in a different world/reality/universe.

For the right-wing millionaires and billionaires, it manifest in terms of who they associate with at their country clubs and Chamber of Commerce meetings or wherever else, the social and economic backgrounds that they came from, where they went to school and where they send their children to school, the neighborhoods in which they live, and so on and so forth.

For the rest, a lot of it is friends, family, church, media sources, and the kinds of places in which they live..rural/exurban environments in the South/Sun Belt, the heartlands of the Plains states and the Midwest, Appalachia, and lots of the interior in general - particularly in (again) low-density rural areas and small towns/cities.

And (importantly): the whiter these communities and the social networks in which these right-wingers live...well, do I really need to explain that one?
