The notion that the people in that district did not have it in them to elect a right-wing conspiracy theorist prior to some sort of recent national culture war / media phenomenon is entirely mistaken.
edit: that's not to trivialize some of the other stuff that's going on nationally... I suspect the national culture warriors actually do explain why MGT's campaigns are funded as well as they are.
