I think many rural folks see the system as failing them no matter what, so at least Mr. Trump makes the urbanites and elites cringe and suffer too.

The only hostility was to changing social norms, so they can't drop the n-word or slur and slander gay folks. Not sure that's any more hostile than Brown v BOE.

Public servants *begging* and pleading with them to get vaccinated to help reduce deaths in red and blue states weren't being "hostile" any more than a firefighter breaking down a door to rescue someone from a burning building.

Feeling that institutions are hostile to them, after 60+ years of conservatives telling voters that the institutions are hostile towards them, is very different than actually being hostile.

FEMA shows up in both FL and LA. Medicare and Medicaid go to red states and blue states.

Maybe we should ask why - after 50 years of conservatives investing significant marketing dollars in propaganda to undermine faith in public institutions - public trust is low?

This isn’t a messaging problem, it’s a combating propaganda and misinformation problem.
