Huh, I wonder why midwestern hot beds of Populism, Farmer-Labor coalitions, and the New Deal vote conservative now? Couldn't be that the Democrats are also a useless right-wing party.
Yes, I know I am being a bit simplistic and reductive here, but damn do liberals just need to believe that all these rural midwesterners just suddenly became morally backwards at the same time as the Democrats neoliberal turn. And somehow Democrats would be magically better, even on things with full bipartisan consensus.
