7. "The world has moved on and left them behind". Or they were too ignorant or set in their ways to keep up?

The world, natural and man made, is ever changing and always has been. From ancient times if your region was drought struck you either moved on and adapted in a new locale or you starved. Maybe some tribes always stayed on and perished and were lost to history and what we know is only from survivors who were willing to change. Somehow I don't get this set in your ways even if it kills you or your way of life and be unwilling to adapt mindset. I especially don't get it in America where it was the difficult enterprise to get here and learn new ways and better our opportunities that built the country. Suppose then it is not really ironic that the "change" these folks voted for in large numbers will probably serve to disenfranchise them even more as rural aid, FEMA, extra education and food subsidies and other former government services they may need way more than average will be cut. Hard to feel sorry for the adults, but pity the children.
