(1,522 posts)I live in this general area. Outside of the small towns, no one has internet service other than dial up. But literally everyone has satellite TV, and even the least expensive package includes FOX Nuze. We get at most one or two over the air tv stations, so Dish or Direct TV is it. We do get AM stations out of Columbus which are all Rush Limpballs stations.
Another thing is that the economic "recovery" never actually reached these areas, much like the nearby rust belt region. Mining and the small manufacturing that used to be in the area are gone. Very poor and very expensive health care here. Heroin and meth are a big problem. The area is about 95% white too.
I do not talk politics with very many here. It used to be about 50/50 but has changed to probably 70/30 repub in the last decade. Brainwashing propaganda works. Everything was Killary was going to take out gunz and kill the babies. Trump was a good (white?) business man that was going to get us jobs. GOTV calls this past election were not very fun.
I'm going to go sit on the front porch and learn the banjo....
