Sounds like a town so devoid of life that it would be more productive to just let it collapse.

There’s a bunch of tiny rural towns that have basically no jobs and no real reason to exist anymore.

Globalization was not kind to rural America. And people listen to snake oil salesmen like Trump because he’s the only one talking at them with a distorted compassion.

That vid does a good job of showing what some of the people that live in those towns are like. He doesn’t really ask them any pointed questions but you can get a better sense of the communities and why they might cling to someone like trump (even if it is bad for them)
