I'd like to add that a lot of these people work in the oil or coal industry or have family members who do. The work, as dangerous and comparatively ill paying as it may be, may be the only thing that puts their town on the map and keeps food on the table. Not seeing a way out for those who can't or won't be retained for another job can be pretty scary, a fear that is very much preyed a upon by conservatives.
