I think a contributing factor is the general demographics of the parties. Conservative areas tend to rural and less densely populated compared to liberal areas that tend to be higher density populations. Rural communities are more "take care of yourself" and I thinks a lot of our inability to meet eye to eye comes from different base assumptions.
- esrauch 5y agoI feel like it's a case where you the stereotypes exist to backwards explain any outcome that you want. Like NYC and Boston famously have a "fuck you, mind you own business" stereotype contrasted with a rural stereotype expectation of cooperating for the community. I think the higher order bit is Repliblicans pushing an anti-institutional agenda more recently (including Trump saying bad things about historically conservative institutions like the FBI) which naturally lines up with an antivax agenda.
