REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Good <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

More reason to like robots

The polarization is geographic

x-asis is voting preference (republicans are -, dems +)

y-axis is population density

different representation of essentially the same data

`Troy concluded that, "at about 800 people per square mile, people switch from voting primarily Republican to voting primarily Democratic."`

while interesting statistically, what causes/correlations can we draw?

City folk an rural folk

obv.

but we know that already

Okay, we can draw that Republicans are leaving cities, and Democrats are moving into cities

There are now sharp divides of politics by their geography

This was not always the case here

`while interesting statistically, what causes/correlations can we draw?
`
that only rednecks can tolerate living outside cities

<:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

or, actually more accurately, rednecks can't tolerate living in cities

This is true

get me out of here

i guess it's an open question whether people self-segregate out of cities based on existing political preference, or whether living in a city turns you into a faggot

i was rather thinking along the lines of

@Tero The former

" Two major theories have developed to explain the effects of density on human behavior. Wirth’s (1938) is the most common with his famous statement that size, density and heterogenity explain the effects of urban life on the human animal. The experiments done by Milgram (1970) suggest that when people are confronted with a large number of strangers in everyday life, they tend to withdraw and take less interest in the community in order to protect themselves from overload. Wolfgang (1970), among others, suggests that urban withdrawal and anomie resulting from density explains higher urban crime rates. "

Nah

White people withdrawl, find there's no community, and then leave

It's called 'White Flight'

but this actually is consistent across the anglo world

all the big city areas and densely packed areas in australia are libshit havens

What, that white people leave, and minorites take over cities?

commies, greens, all find no support in rural areas

the thing is even with migration taking into account, there must be "natives" that are voting for it

ye

e.g. vienna

<:pepehands:378719408367075333>

Yeah, that was Portland

A city of hippy affluent whites who brought on their own demise

@woll3 You have to understand, that ruralism and right-wing go together quite well
