A lot of conservative America looks like a 3rd world country.

That's not "conservative America". That's just "America".

And what it looks like is an increasingly stratified society, in which obsence wealth abuts horrifying poverty.

Rural conservatives will arguably suffer more than any other group under conservative leadership.

Rural conservatives don't exist in any meaningful number. What you have are rent seeking land barons and suburbanites operating defacto plantations with quasi-legal disenfranchised laborers.

The plantation owners aren't going to suffer. It's the migrant workers and day laborers who will eat shit. None of them are allowed to vote in any real sense.
