I am from New Jersey and have lived in PA for almost twenty years. I also spent three years in STL County for school. These people you described from your hometown are here as well. They’re in abundance everywhere.

Anywhere outside of a city - really any city, even in blue states - is incredibly conservative. And because land gets votes and not people, this gives conservatives an overwhelming amount of power. Only once in the last thirty years has a Republican won the majority of votes, but thanks to the electoral college they've held the office for almost half the time.
