But I agree with you that fear of foreigners, esp in areas that didn't have many, was a big driver in the vote.

It's just like here. Big cities have lots of immigrants/diversity, vibrant economies and lots of jobs and rural places don't. Rural folks see the success of the cities and somehow blame immigrants (who don't even live in rural areas) for their own plight. They are rooted to their place, even if their place can't offer them a viable future. It simply has to be somebody's fault but their own.
