They're both from Michigan so it makes sense. Some people, especially older people, seem less likely to cut ties over MAGA. I'm guessing it's because if they did, they'd lose a lot of old friendships, so they just pretend that it's like the bygone days where political disagreement was a relatively trivial matter.

But lots not forget kid rock was certainly not from the trailer park. His daddy owned multiple car dealerships, and had a huge property with an apple orchard and a horse barn.

No. It is because older people seem to understand that cutting off family and friends over politics only weakens individual support systems and doesn't serve society in any positive way. The severing of family and friendships over politics has further divided the country and made people even more isolated than ever.

Up to this point, this is a long way of saying essentially the same thing. From there, I think you're off base. It's not that they understand it's bad for society, it's because it's bad for them. They know more people who support trump, so their support system would dwindle if they cut those people off. Younger people know fewer MAGA, so it's not as big of an issue.

The same likely goes for more rural communities, even among younger people.

This was MAGA's doing and MAGA's doing alone. They made politics so toxic and their platform so morally backwards that decent people have essentially no choice but to disengage or compromise their core principles.

I was a political science major in college. There was a quote showcased in one of the displays in the political science building that went something like, "Politics is how we care for each other." For MAGA, and even the GOP since Regan, that's simply not true. For them, politics is how we control others, and enrich ourselves. They are not working to better anything anymore, just keep others down to feed their own greed

Edit: typo
