The traditionalists are mostly apolitical. Politics corrupts communities, and that’s why the traditionalists have considered it to be taboo to get involved or give it much thought. Oddly, it’s the younger, more rebellious folks who are going in what we might consider a more conservative direction, which for them is more…global? At least less insular. As they become more connected to the outside world they’re finding their religious conservatism lines up more with republicans than democrats, and starting to believe us dems might threaten their way of life. It’s been a bizarre thing to experience. The raw milk thing from a few years back was absolutely a part of this awakening, since a fair number felt it threatened some of their income.
