I agree, the only strong families I personally know of are church members. I know a lot of people in my community, interact with all types. There are huge differences not only in politics but action. The live to party types, tend to have out of control children and it cares into adult hood. Even the most successful of them seem to have at least one that falls into drugs. Drugs have taken a lot of the youth around here. To be fair, so has alcohol, I live in an area known for car crashes, usually they are stoned or drunk. Several of them have rolled onto my property. It can take 15-30 minutes before a first responder arrives; most don't make it. So far this year we have had 4 fatalities within 1/8 of mile from my home, the last one died in my driveway. She was on her way home and a drunk passed out crossed in front of her and killed her. She was lucky, never saw him, the one before her screamed for a long time before she finally died.
Locally we try and take care of our own. I know one older man that I have helped numerous times, he was a friend of my father. I have kept him out of jail, drove across town to haul him home, that kind of thing. Once he is with me all he talks about is how Trump ruined everything. As far as I know he has never worked, except for odd jobs, his only income is SS, one kid is in jail, another who knows, he left and never returned. His life's choices carried into adulthood and wreaked havoc on his own, still it was never his fault. In a way talking to him reminds me of CC and the other trolls, in their heads they are good people, in reality not so much.
