It’s very much “go back to where you came from, you don’t belong here” for some people I know up there (wife is from the coal region). It’s a really stark difference between MAGA and even Republicans in general, and people who aren’t, who tend to keep quiet when politics come up. And some of the worst of those people are ones living off the government and keep voting to make things worse for themselves because they don’t know how the world works. We don’t visit her mom very often anymore (to be clear - her mom isn’t like that, very much the opposite, my wife is half black). Lots of good people, but a good chunk of them aren’t going to be good to you if you don’t look like them.
