The local Amish community has been very much leaning in a trumpian direction, and the raw milk thing is likely a small part of the appeal. They’re traditionally apolitical but in recent years have been drawn in predominantly by the Xtianity evangelical angle in a way that is disturbing. Seeing people I’ve been doing business with for years, who were always disconnected from politics, start to join the scrum on what I see as the wrong side is more than a little concerning. They’re definitely not a small percentage of eligible voters around me. I guess the only saving grace for my mental health is that my immediate vicinity was going to go for the orange menace anyways…this just makes dems an even smaller minority in my area.
