In my rural county (just next door to Indianapolis) the Dems can barely get anyone to run for most offices!
I think you have!
Quite interesting!
Why is one group demonized for voting, and another glorified? (Rhetorical - I already know the answer)
Likewise, rural areas tend to be less educated than urban areas.
More educated beyond their intelligence maybe.
I guess we’ll really find out if/when we are hit by an apocalyptic event.
Derived from this article:
I always get a kick out of city folk who think organic somehow makes the product better, and that in their twisted PC minds believe that American farmers are producing poison to feed them and the world....
Like the difference between NYC and upstate NY
California, Washington, Colorado....even Texas
Truth is nig cities have more dems
For generations, scholars have focused on the rise of the Greek city-state and its brilliant cosmopolitan culture as the ultimate source of the Western tradition in literature, philosophy, and politics. This passionate book leads us outside the city walls to the countryside, where the vast majority of the Greek citizenry lived, to find the true source of the cultural wealth of Greek civilization. Victor Hanson shows that the real "Greek revolution" was not merely the rise of a free and democratic urban culture, but rather the historic innovation of the independent family farm.
The farmers, vinegrowers, and herdsmen of ancient Greece are "the other Greeks," who formed the backbone of Hellenic civilization. It was these tough-minded, practical, and fiercely independent agrarians, Hanson contends, who gave Greek culture its distinctive emphasis on private property, constitutional government, contractual agreements, infantry warfare, and individual rights. Hanson's reconstruction of ancient Greek farm life, informed by hands-on knowledge of the subject (he is a fifth-generation California vine- and fruit-grower) is fresh, comprehensive, and absorbing. His detailed chronicle of the rise and tragic fall of the Greek city-state also helps us to grasp the implications of what may be the single most significant trend in American life today—the imminent extinction of the family farm.
The Other Greeks: The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization
I’ve lived in cities my entire life, but have always found the rural ethos more to my liking than an urban one.
Haven't seen them since, especially on the west coast. Most of the land mass in Wa, OR and CA is red, all on the east side of the states and in between the big cities.
We are outnumbered by the cities, but own so much of the land mass of those 3 states all the food production, farm and timber lands and churches.
We need Bud Pierce as Governor so bad. At least if the city liberals come out in force all over the nation and vote for HRC, we can hold back some of the damage by electing R governors.
“Likewise, rural areas tend to be less educated than urban areas.”
This meme about Trump’s voters being uneducated is coming up quite often lately. Something’s up.
I'll leave Freud out of this.
The cities are where the 'services' are located.
I; too; was a city slicker until 13 years ago after retirement.
I love my small acreage and the joys (and sweat) that comes as part of the package.
I hears ya, Bro!
I shouldn’t type on my phone late at night
Should have been BIG cities
They just don’t get it. “Nobody I know is voting for him.” duh
“In the old days, say 2008 and prior, the “less educated” demographic spewed by the sick media used to be called “blue collar workers”.
Democrats USED to proclaim themselves as the champion of “the working man”, or this particular demographic. Hopefully a lot of Democrats are waking up to the reality that their party does NOT “look out for the little guy”!!!!!
