Being mixed in with “those people” (not that I'm voting for Trump, just that I'm kind of surrounded by Trump supporters) let me add some nuance here.

take a pill for that lump

Relationship with health care is complex. On the one hand, many people do take that pill for this lump or that because they’re afraid of what it can be and are hoping for an easy fix. They often trust their doctors because doctors are supposed to be a source of authority.

On the other hand, a lot of the times they don’t go to the doctor. They don’t trust those pills will work. They don’t trust the doctors know what they’re talking about. They see all of those lawsuit ads on TV and all of those medicine ads with a novel’s worth of notices and disclaimers. They don’t have insurance and when they do they’re afraid of the bureaucratic process of handling billing. Many just don’t go out of apathy. If I took a poll of my peers and asked them the last time they’ve been to the dentist for example, I’d half bet the average would number in three or four years. Maybe longer.

cheer for this team and you're a winner too

Sports are a source of regional and civic pride. When we support our local high school football teams, we’re supporting our kids and our cities. When we support major league teams, we’re bonding with each other and create a source of excitement. The world series is going on right now. Chicago and Cleveland are probably bursting with energy and enthusiasm at the moment. By vicariously enjoying the success others have, and encouraging them to succeed and showing support, we make ourselves feel better.

blame those "other" people for your limitations

Not touching that one. Obviously.

"Immigrants are taking your jobs!" vs "Immigrants are a burden on the welfare system!"

"Reduce government spending!" vs "Our corn farmers need subsidies to stay afloat!"

"Reduce the size of government!" vs "Legislate against lifestyles I don't identify with!"

"Environmental regulation is killing business!" vs "My tap water is giving my baby cancer!"

"Products are too expensive!" vs "Trade deals are hurting our local industry!"

"Provide a level playing field for business!" vs "But give me this subsidy, or I won't vote for you!"

There are a lot of problems and concerns in the world and no easy answers and not everyone holds contradictory opinions, even if they appear to be so on the surface. Many times, they're a lot more nuanced. Just because someone or a group of someones doesn't strike you as sophisticated, it doesn't mean that they aren't.

Billybob is arming himself to overthrow the government that gives him the social security and disability checks he uses to buy guns and ammo.... but first he's gonna stop at Arby's in his Ford F-350 that has never been off-road or pulled anything more than a trailer with jet skis, and use some of his sweet sweet government check to feed the gaping maw of his nagging self doubt that he isn't actually a special snowflake, at all, and may be culpable for his own lot in life.

If you’re ever on the road and find that you might be in Redneckistan and you know one of us Hubskiers is near by, shoot up a flare. We got some good folks to introduce you to.
