In my town ( a deep blue town) we started to receive all kinds of glossy material in the mail about a new water company that the town wanted to use for our water. Then a small dedicated Republican group went through all the paperwork on regulations and found out that there was a section that showed we had to actually vote to change water companies. We had a special election (this was about 2 or 3 yrs ago). The weekend before the vote, handmade signs went up at busy intersections and we received a simple letter in the mail the day before the election. Yes, the new company that the town wanted was a Wall Street firm. We voted it down and here is what is amazing - it was one of the largest voter turnouts in the town's history.
Proof that blue or red, people generally want the same things: clean water, food on the table, adequate shelter, warmth at night, security, and everything else is a welcomed bonus as determined by the level of community involvement. The lower the involvement, the less likely people will be able to control just the basics in their life.
