On the Gist, we're experiencing some loner white terrorist burnout.
In the interview, we're talking rural Republicans. Ross Benes gives us insight to Nebraska's Republican party, and how they can help to understand Republicans everywhere. He talks about where Democrats are going wrong outside the cities, the difference between an old fashioned Republican and a Trump Toadie, and what makes rural voters tick—sometimes despite their own best interests. Benes is a journalist and analyst at eMarketer, and the author of Rural Rebellion: How Nebraska Became a Republican Stronghold.
