Racist and xenophobic rural voters have way too much power, and they've cast off urban centers as "hellholes". They don't want to improve society, they want their money, and come up with any excuse to look the other way when masses of people are neglected. "Not my problem", they say, when they contribute toward the problem with their votes to strip away any and all tax dollars that go toward actually improving the "hellholes".

And when you ask them about improving, they only think of displacing the poor to some other godforsaken parts. They think about locking up offenders in punishment prisons forever, no rehabilitation. Or more police, and more authorization to use brute force. If they kill anyone, well, "they weren't a contributing member of society anyway, so good riddance."

It's an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality. And it's wrong, definitely not "Christlike". And they still think of themselves as "good Christians"
