Yeah, I'm coming to suspect that people who are more rural are more freedom-oriented and tend to adopt more generalist and self-reliant attitudes.
My 8 values says liberal haha
*generalist meaning it's better to know how to both fix your car and cook your meals and peddle a trade than just one of the above.
I’m like 45 minutes from the city
Melbourne *
Is it a suburb or just aways away?
Suburb but borders a bunch of farms and shit
As I said, semi rural
I think I read you.
Just outside the edge of where the town is really developed. Close enough you are essentially part of the city, but it's mostly going to be stuff like warehouses.
Yeah that’s the one
Literally borders rural hahaha
Yeah, I'm in a really urban center where if you drive for just 5 minutes it's farms for hours.
But it's still effectively really linked to NYC so you see it all.
Both rural Upstate and urban Downstate.
It's literally Hillary versus Trump to be honest.
Oh you’re in NY
Hillary is corrupt and measured. Trump is Loud and Angry.
Basically, close to PA.
Hahahaha trump is a meme
Absolutely
He was a middle finger to the world
Pretty much. He's the middle finger Upstate has wanted to send downstate for decades.
And political correctness
Lol
The whole "flyover country" meme is a real effect. And the people in Upstate meet people in NYC and know it.
The republicans need to capitalise on ocasio Cortez
I'm sure they're looking into it.
The last election they pinned up the Californian delegation as too extreme.
If NY goes red
It won't. Unless you mean communist.
It’ll never happen but if it does the democrats are fucked
Either way tbh
The Republicans probably took MI because Detroit shrank.
ThAnks obama
Detroit is fun. They didn't like dealing with the laws they would toss on the rural parts of the state, so MI law has all sorts of exemptions for cities "over 1 million residents." Detroit is now about 750k.
And the rest of MI is very red.
Jesus Christ
that's nuts man
Yeah, NY does similar stuff.
