They voted on social issues since both parties are hostile to their economic interests.

Yes they did, but not in the way normally assumed. In their eyes, Ds offer nothing other than 'we will offer you training to become coders' while Rs offer nothing other than 'we will eliminate regulations and reduce taxes on your employers'. Given this choice, social issues become more important even though the Appalachians aren't really super religious (especially adjusted for age), certainly less religious than the south.


I think this is basically right.
