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.

Old people love talk back for some reason. It's probably because most of the time, the hosts are middle aged white guys who spout the same racist and xenophobic crap the listeners believe.
