I'm trying to find some good class based analysis on the subject. I feel like Matt has spoken about this sort of thing on his vlogs but its kind of hard to search through those to pinpoint a specific talking point.

    I did a deep dive into QMom accounts on Instagram before they started banning them and saw a few patterns:

    • Overwhelmingly stay at home moms in the exurbs
    • A lot are in second or third marriages
    • Often have a second cause they cheerlead, conflicting with their presumed right wing leanings. I saw one who was really into protecting national parks and another who wanted to protect bees.
    • Disproportionately from the Midwest and Great Lakes
    • Their kids all play hockey

      Most people in america, in the world even, are not all one thing or the other. They're a weird synthesis and mishmash of ideas from all corners (at least those that have a relatively free flow of information)
