I might also mention middle class angst, one commentator complained about them being disengaged, but really, they are complicit and form a large sector of the R/R base.
Many of them are so poorly misinformed by the Ministry of Truthiness (aka Fox News) that they do not realize the very things they fear, Job Loss and Income erosion, are largely the creation of the people behind the curtain.
Suburban Sprawl, the heartland of R/R (Ryan's district is really a middle ground suburb between Chicago and Milwaukee) is it is a low information intellectual wasteland. They expect all their Children to go to College, with very little comprehension of the nature of intellectual endeavor. It's all about passing the tests. Don't confuse us by asking us to learn any facts or connect the dots, we just want to know what is on the magic test we need to pass to have a nice life.
And all those inconvenient poor people, well, give them a bus ticket somewhere else.
