he’s suffering from mika-poisoning.
the country is being divided into two groups: (a) dysfunctional urban megacities, confined or enslaved by their incompetent and corrupt local government (see: flynt, MI, the city that poisoned its own water) that the citizens are simply too ignorant (or indoctrinated) to vote out — it is a massive, self ratifying, self sustaining, circular engine of stupidity, and (b), everyone else.
Bleeding badly in the suburbs?
Here’s why, to the extent it’s true:
Suburbanites work in the cities, where they are exposed to insane levels of hate, hate, hate, hate against Trump and love for political correctness.
If it is a major trend, it’s a little dangerous is that Trump has traded support in suburban districts (carved out to protect Republican majorities in many right-tipping states) for support among blacks and Hispanics who want jobs, safety, and a shot at equal access to everything good. Their explosively leftist managers matter to the suburbanites more than the cabbie who’s deciding maybe Trumpist Republicans have a point.
These are the people who feed you, Joe. Nothing serious ...
For discussion: Is it a bad thing to be a small-town and rural party?
As jobs followed workers to the suburbs, workers still stayed tied to major metropolitan cities because they now needed TWO jobs and because the career-long job has been considered a thing of the past. A John Deere plant closing down isn’t going to destroy the economy of New York or Philly or Washington or Los Angeles or Seattle.
But are rural areas becoming safer economically? Are businesses in small towns financially healthier, provided they can keep a well-educated workforce? And is that healthiness enough of a counter-weight to keep workers despite the problems of two breadwinners?
A rural party. As opposed to what......a San Francisco poopy street party? Los Angeles homeless street party?
Rural party sounds pretty good to me. No stink.
So I'm not sure Trump is losing ground. It appears that the non Trump 2016 Tiberi voters, voted against Balderson.
Hey, Joe,
That red and blue map from 2016 should be a BIG clue that much of rural America is red.
