This article is an instructive example of the fantasyland I see some Democrats living in. It's written by a political foe of Lauren Boebert and interviews people who voted against her, in a city she lost, averring that Pueblo is in mid-backlash against herhttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/06/10/lauren-boebert-pueblo-colorado-487118 …
A state candidate I supported had a friend who was die-hard for Trump even though his wife got deported back to Mexico. The husband had citizenship, his wife didn't, and they were trying for a spousal visa to let her return. But he thought Trump would be better on the economy!

There is no situation or political stance weird enough that you won't find voters in it

Don’t even know that it’s that weird. Family has lived in Latino communities, and a lot of them are just super conservative. Stable political identities not subject to change just because one R is an idiot. Also, a beat Gustavo Arellano has been on for years.

I don’t think people understand how aggravating it is for workers in these places to see people draw benefits when they could be working, or have huge, relative to them, salaries and benefits in government jobs.

The idea that other people are grifting off their taxes is a huge motivating force. Messaging that benefits will increase only pushes them further away.
