These counties in Southwest Kansas NEVER vote blue, and they did, so I looked into it. And oddly enough, their #1 issue was immigration enforcement. They hate ICE. Farmers hate ICE. And you know what? Fair enough!

I had a feeling that was going to be the counties where Liberal, Garden City, and Dodge City are. Those towns are majority-Latino. Huge meatpacking centers brought in a lot of immigrant laborers.

Farmers hate ICE for shitty reasons though lmao, ICE takes away the part of their workforce that they can pay criminally low wages and give no benefits to. Basically ICE is taking their slaves away.

and also not entirely: most people genuinely were upset by the abduction of human people they knew on a personal level, and fell for the lie about this only impacting “the bad guys” (and as misled as they were, rural America is also incredibly undereducated) and believe it or not Kansas isn’t the same as Alabama when it comes to being a red state, Kansas was part of the Union. Culturally, it’s a complex place.
