Someone who is educated enough to filter out stuff from right-wing news sources.

Someone who desperately wants to leave.

I'd be most interested in meeting the one Trump voter in Kalawao County, personally.

The percentage of Hispanics in the county is identical to the percentage Biden got this election. I would guess there's some (although not complete) overlap.

Most likely a public employee such as a postal worker or school teacher.

Maybe a kid from the county who's in college at UT Austin but still votes at his parents' address.

Not quite the same but I was able to once find browsing some Facebook comments on local businesses and profiles a Democrat in McIntosh County, North Dakota. She was a 60something Boomer, fairly moderate, but posted tons of anti-Trump memes, supported Buttigieg in the primary, appeared to stan the Kennedys, Carter and Clinton and regularly attended an ELCA church. So not really all that interesting in terms of her profile, but it was still cool to find a Democrat in such a place.

He/She is Black or Hispanic.

If Hispanic, the person is a Catholic Hispanic. 

This person is probably the only one in the county with a college degree.

In counties like these, Trump almost certainly won a supermajority (if "only" 70 or 80%) of college degree holders.

One of the....26%, I believe, of the residents aged 25+ who have at least a bachelor's degree in the county, most likely.

Maybe not.

Roberts is the 3rd highest educated county in the Panhandle (25% of over 25s). Carson is second at 28%, Randall is first at 32% - due to West Texas A&M in Canyon, and the wealthier growing part of Amarillo. If you are educated and have a good job you are going to buy a house in the Randall Part of the city. If you are working at meat-packing plant such as in Cactus, you are going be living in Potter County (15% BA).

Kids will go away to Tech or A&M and will either come back home for the lifestyle or move to the city. A reasonable number are going to own their ranch and possibly have oil leases. They know what effect the estate tax will have, and will be concerned about a land grab by Biden, or his trying to kill the oil industry.
