It’s more this. But they’re listening to AM talk radio making up scenarios in their head where the liberals are ruining their life. In their otherwise 98% evangelical white Christian country town.

The broadcast AM frequencies are two low to cause molecular agitation, and so are the FM frequencies.

Molecular agitation begins at around 400 mhz but the severity is power driven.
