Getting rid of all those pesky hicks in flyover country would greatly simplify the ability of the intellectual elite to rule as they see fit.
One problem. Flyover country is where their food comes from. The dummies in those designated areas don't raise food, they only buy it.
Thumbs up on that one! I’ll be forwarding that to the guys upstairs!
I have an idea.
Take the areas that are heavily populated by the self-described “intellectual elites” and remove all of the real Patriotic Americans, Conservatives, LEOs, First Responders Military-types from their (Boston, New York City, San Francisco, etc) areas and see how long they last.
Conversely, remove all of the “intellectual elites” from those areas that are similarly populated (Houston, Dallas, Birmingham, Wyoming, etc), and see how they fare.
I know which way I am willing to bet.
