I have seen a huge change in the attitude of the Old Order Amish in this area. In my nearly 40 years of working in this community, most have gone from being disinterested in politics and politicians. It wasn't a part of their world. Humility was one of their core beliefs and those seen as not being humble were called out.
When Trump arrived on the scene, Amish men who work in the factories in the heart of Trump country seemed to be radicalized by their co-workers and have brought his attitude back into their communities and humility has been replaced with arrogance and pride.

The best option for Americans is a record setting turnout on election day.
2020 had a 50 per cent turnout. When half of the electorate doesn’t care enough to vote we deserve what we get. And that could be the end of America as we know it.

Yes, voting has to be encouraged and it must require heavy education on the candidates, unbiased, thorough, and effective education.
@RebelScum76Constitution4mos4MO
Require heavy education that is unbiased? Like that's even possible! What the government writes must necessarily be biased in favour of the government. Therefore small government candidates will be unfairly represented and we'll be shoved even closer to the brink of Orwellian police statism.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
The candidates write their own educational articles, they fill out data on themselves, along with the opinions of their opponents and the candidates personal ideas. I’m not asking government to write it, I’m asking government to provide a both-sides version and publicize it.
@RebelScum76Constitution4mos4MO
And then trust the government to distribute a publication that includes deadly arguments against increasing their power? Expect government to violate the very essence of human nature by unselfishly and honestly doing a good deed, when it has no oversight, or checks? Takes a lot of faith in human nature, and I'm too much a realist to trust those with political power to do much of anything right....
