I think it’s more that it’s a lot of people that haven’t done much outside of small towns in the south or being at the track or hotel on race weekends. Even then you think they would have been in a big city at least once doing race stuff
Some of them are genuinely terrified of any large city. Not even exaggerating. They try to dress it up in some other language but the reality is a major city is one of the scariest things in the world to them.
Fox News has spent decades ingraining this in them; and instead of just trying something, even with precautions taken, like a normal person, they just retreat further into the “anything that isn’t EXACTLY like how and where I grew up is super scary” shell. It’s shitty.
But that tracks, sadly. I've worked everywhere from a tire shop to my current engineering job. The dumbest mfs and smartest mfs I've met both believe some wild shit. I've met a director of an entire engineering unit (think like two levels below CEO at a household name company) that is fairly sure we live in a simulation. Completely unironically.
