And the apparent paradox is that the voters in Red States continue to vote for the very people who are harming them.But it isn't a paradox if you understand their real motivation and motivators.
They prioritize the culture war above all else. So long as them there liberals, blacks, gays, "feminazi's" get their come uppence, and kept in their place, then all is well in their universe, even if it means taking a hit themselves.

There all red meat single issue voters. The What’s Wrong with Kansas syndrome.

Although being screwed by Republicans. Truckers are conservative and by and large Trump Humpers. They sit in their cab s 6 to 8 hrs a day, listening to hate radio, and their minds are warped, trucking is not a job, which requires any kind of menta;l skills, definitely not a place to develop critical reasoning skills.
Progressive stations were bought out by Sinclair and Heartland, and now feature sports or hate radio.
Democracy's problem is that there are no progressive billionaires, because when …
True, but if DNC knew what it were doing, as to truckers, they'd pierce through....
Speak to them individually, they get it...especially repetitive trauma.
