    They’re my family.

    So your sample size is just your family… and you think you’re having a rational conversation that isn’t biased as fuck?
    Does this statement now make more sense?

    Especially since you didn’t actually engage in the conversation, but just wanted to call a particular group of people stupid.

    Outside of your family… Can you legitimately say that you see much difference between rural and metro trains of thought? Or do both groups tend to vote based on the issues that they perceive to be important to them? Eg, does the examples I gave above make sense why the different mindsets would cause reasonable people to vote differently based simply on location?

      I felt like I was being fairly clear by saying that, that I didn’t mean just my actual blood relatives, but also friends and community.

      Whether intentional or not, that’s a strawman.

      I’ve never lived in a large city, so I couldn’t speak to that.

      In any case, I don’t feel like this conversation is terribly productive and probably won’t continue.
