That would be a happy side effect for the Left, it it weren’t deliberate outright, thought I don’t credit them with that level of intelligence.
They have been trying to get rid of rural Americans for decades.
I don’t want to give the impression that I think these people are stupid, by the way. They aren’t.
They are often very intelligent. But as many folks have said on this very forum, intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing.
Especially when that intelligence is harnessing evil, as I believe those on the Left often do.
