As someone also from rural Wisconsin, I can tell you that the ignorance there is more palpable than ever. I'm not talking about record levels of domestic abuse cases, meth labs, or even leading the nation in DUI's. Rural Wisconsin has always had it's own issues in a charming sort of way. I'm talking about the sheer gleefulness with which rural Wisconsinites abandoned critical thinking this election. There was always a small spark of anti-intellectualism in rural Wisconsin, but this election was unlike any other in how the misinformation being spread fanned the flames of that rhetoric.
