I know at least two (maybe more, but i didn't ask for cellphones) who are just old back-to-lander hippies who bought some land in WV in the 80s. They use public library for emails and spend their time playing music, farming, drinking their own beer and smoking their own weed and tobacco.

Not conservative at all.

Everyone I know in that demographic is super far right.
They are super pro-union, they all have sticker "protect the water/Save the Elk River", most of them go to the farmer's market and one of them (one of the young lesbian) was documenting the opioid epidemic in WV with the help of a local journalist (who was present because he played bass pretty well i think?).

They do have some MAGA friends, "Try supporting Manchin, honestly i don't blame them", and honestly it was really enlightening.

The MAGA deadhead crossover vibe is so weird. At least the actual cultural icons they worship seem to have kept their heads on at old age.
