Iowans voted a lot more heavily for Trump... that's 55% of the voters in Iowa...based on the voters that came out.
I have sympathy for the broader picture, because the Democrats won the popular vote - more Americans voted for the Democrats than the GOP... they just happened to lose the electoral college by 120K more or less...But that's not the case in Iowa, where the popular vote went to Trump
Democracy works only with an informed electorate... Since they voted for Trump, I would presume that they knew what they were doing...
Callous? No, what the GOP are doing to their base is what is callous... Mine is simply an opinion on the ramifications of Iowan's majority voting for Trump...
