This MR segment on MAGA demographics is important.

When people say "why do they vote against their own interests?" (assuming MAGA folk are poor, rural) I'm just like "they aren't!"

Planned retirement communities with restrictions on who can move in are... questionable.

@futurebird I've always found the "voting against their own best interests" framing to be patronizing. Like, who is the speaker to be telling someone else what they should be most concerned about.

@futurebird My good friend lives in a large assisted living facility in Ohio, where the base monthly cost is over $4,000 per month. She's a progressive, but she finds herself surrounded by rabid trumpers.
I know this is anecdotal, but obviously these folks are not poor. They are also not rural.

@Barbramon1 @futurebird yep, i have friends & family in both ex-urbia and rural areas and the rural areas might be conservative, but they’re not fond of trump. the ex-urban places are overcome by rabid trump voters
