What this doesn’t take into account is that the suburbs are more likely to be more like their rural cousins than their city cousins. They may have cell phones etc but their values and concerns drive them to an area still close to their work but far enough from the rot and decay of most cities to be livable.
Overall I think that the supposed theory is over simplistic. Doesn’t even mesh with how folks have voted and what their concerns are. That fact that some smaller towns are more conservative than larger leftie run cities is not a surprise and really doesn’t address the over arching problems of our country.
This is my hot button
City Liberals define the problems and solutions while they live on top of each other like rats then define how rural America is governed
Ot Oh, can't have that!
The WSJ goes out of its way to paint ‘rural’ as a cliché environment. The fact is, there are people of all colors in the country and the nearby suburbs, many of whom never go to church and many or whom are not Democrats.
Meckler is a known liberal
She leaves out the fact that in many cities its due to racial demographics or the divide is narrow...say 55/45
She is basically just looking at big coastal cities and a couple of Yankee towns
Many sunbelt cities if blacks or Latinos not figured would be fairly conservative
Its not as simple as rural versus city....and what about suburbs.... most are GOP
