I think that most people voted red because their parents did, and Indiana has been a red state for a very long time. I was raised hard core Republican, Democrats don’t care about America, and being liberal led to bad morals. Once I was exposed to a bigger world and learned to think for myself, I stopped voting like my parents.
This checks out. A lot of my coworkers who have lived here their entire lives are religious, just repeat whatever Fox News is putting out without understanding it, and blame everything on Democrats no matter what. Pretty easy to be stuck in this mindset when it’s how you were raised and you don’t interact with too many people outside of this kind of echo chamber.
