My impression is that the city/country political divide is pretty simple. The cities and suburbs have people that either work or depend on government programs. Environmental and small business regulations have devastated those further out. Farmers and small businessmen are being driven out of business, and rural workers can’t find good full time work.
Agree....
City people have to rely on government to feed and protect them.
Rural America is more self sufficient.
The cities should have NO say in how rurals live, the environment, farming, water storage, power generation or how we police ourselves.
