I'm one of those that preserves democracy. Growing up in smaller town Texas i was never really introduced to political anything unless it had to do with hay price, fuel price, beef market values, and who the sheriff's challenger was....(he didn't loose for a long time). Im older now, and have chosen to ignore politics mainly due to the squabble and bullshit agenda driven infighting I see. One thing I can't fail to notice though....... how is it that all the BLUE guys mainly focused around big cities hold more sway look like a blue ink stain on the pocket of a red shirt. I get why most dems don't like guns and stuff if they are all living in the big cities, most assholes there sporting them are doing so for the wrong reasons and giving a bad image. But don't these city folk realize that they would not have all of the trains, food, power, clean water, firewood for the back porch fire pits, dog and cat food, hell.... alot of things if they didnt have the support of the rural communities that surround them. I looked at the maps on FOX and CNN and it creeps me out. Makes me feel like we are slowly being taken control of by a bunch of mini Kings and Queens or Earls from back in the stone age. It reminds me of the military almost........... one of my favorite sayings." You want something said, go get an Officer, you want something accomplished, you go get an enlisted to do it." Way more red color then blue color on the map, and if you look at it, red is where America produces. Blue just does alot of talking and watching everyone else for the most part........
Why are the Dems so closely quartered around big cities on the vote map?

Free Shit.
They trade their freedom for a lowest common denominator existence and servitude.
They wont survive in the country where there are no "services".
They have chosen to subsist on the theft of your your labors rewards.
Add edit - There is also the educated and monied that have a sense of elitism and vote dem as they assume they are part of the solution to provide for the "unwashed". They will raise them by paying them cheaply to be their menial labor......

What @Rthur said.
If you were in need of "help" and decided to sit on a corner with a sign "no food please help" would you go to a place that had 10 cars an hour and only 1 out of a 100 gave you something or would you go to a place that had 1000 cars an hour pass by with the same 1 out of 100 "donation" ratio.
I drove through farm country of Idaho a couple weeks ago, I saw hard working Americans and not one single person begging for a handout.
When I go to the city they are on almost every corner.
My belief is this creates a visual and emotional "connection" that the voter then believes someone should do something and since they themselves can not solve the issue by themselves they feel the government is responsible to solve it.
People have a disconnect with the government some how not understanding that the government is the PEOPLE!
When I went to Europe a few years back, I must have heard "we have free health care" from 1000 Europeans (6 different countries) and my group from USA would always respond "It is not free".
That is the disconnect, some just can not make the connection. Same as some can not understand where their food comes from.

Yep and especially state capitols as I mentioned on another thread. Just look at Austin, TX, Madison, WI, Olympia, WA, Salem OR just to name a few. All full of .gov employees and FSA people.
Cities are were the bankers are and the corruption is concentrated the most !
The cities are a black hole in each state to which all productive goods, monies and service are sucked in to .

It's an incestuous relationship. The takers are there for the gov assistance, and the gov likes having them concentrated in one area (the plantation?). If you don't believe that, google "agenda 21". The powers that be, including the U.N., would like to move everyone into the cities. It's harder to control free-thinking types like one would find out in fly-over country, you know, where the deploreables and chumps live.
These people are too dependent on something else to live far from their dependency, which is typically found in suburbia.
You do know it is 2020 right a tech/engineer job can be anywhere you want.
I saw a few months back that some tech giants were going to cut salaries of people who moved out of San Francisco and Seattle. God fucking forbid a guy makes change to get ahead.
Check this guy out. Lives in the middle of fucking nowhere and runs an aircraft propeller company from the location (admittedly the employees are in California).
Also last I knew he had a delivery service bring food out 2 times a month vs flying like that article states.
Point is most tech jobs can be done anywhere with guess what ............ what for it.....

Technology.
Also, Hornady is located in Grand Island Nebraska, population of 30,000 and corn fields for 100 miles.
It started around the industrial revolution and it definitely was not because of “free shit”, but that’s what it’s turned into. People back then came to the cities because that’s where the manufacturing jobs were and an easier life, comparatively. They didn’t have to work 16 hours a day just to live hand-to-mouth, they could work in a marginally safer plant for better pay and they were closer to slightly more conveniences. That still happens today too. There are many many more opportunities in cities than a town of 2,500 that’s 6 hours from the closest city. The unfortunate thing is that once people are comfortable like that it’s easy to politicize everything and start getting them to compromise on a lot of shit
You might want to consider what Plato in the Republic, and Aristotle, had to say about the 'Polis'.

My city of Richmond Virginia is going to start a trial program of giving some low income families $500 a month and study how it changes their lives. Conveniently announced by the mayor running for reelection a few days ahead of Nov.3rd.
Should help car sales and big screen TVs. Meanwhile, the defunded police will get blamed for more robberies and other crimes in those neighborhoods.

I just don't like the possibility of someone who doesn't share my views or enjoy my hobbies having a say either way if I am allowed to pursue them when I feel like it. I was rebarreling a R700 the other evening in my garage here in San Diego and a neighbor walked by, stopped, and asked me " what makes you think its OK to be handling guns like that around here?" Her and her husband called the law who were very polite but also very curious as to what I waS up to. They left me alone with out any hassle but asked that I close my garage so I dont cause any distress or anxiety to the neighbors or others who might pass by. Thats my point I guess...... i just got stationed down here, and its my first city. Only time I ever went to the city prior was for a port call, to drink, get a tattoo, or fuck. Living here is a real eye opener and scares me at the same time to see what people have become here.
It’s just herd mentality, it’s the same reason sheep and cows all stand together even if they are in an open field. Whereas people that are self reliant don’t require others approval and are happy as can be being alone in a deer stand. The simple fact of the matter is liberals base their lives on other people’s approval, conservatives and libertarians base our lives on what we think of ourselves. Hence we are happier with a small group of people we trust, liberals require mass groups to feel a part of something.
Richmond wont be giving them anything........you will.
I have been in the technology field for 30 years. I have been a hiring manager for a large chunk of that time. Traditionally posting a tech job in a major city provided many more resumes from qualified people than say posting a tech job in the middle of nowhere.
If you had a challenging IT job to fill which city do you think would being you more qualified resumes? San Jose CA or Piedmont South Dakota?
Attitudes are changing/evolving with regards to working from home instead of in an office building. Covid really made a serious push, but PRIOR to covid, people did work from home, the trust was limited for people to really work while they worked from home. This is a real problem, and always has been.
People see you in an office, they assume you are working. Work from home brought about different ways to measure people's productivity. I really think work from home will be in the cards for more tech workers thanks to covid. That said, companies still like to have meetings and have people face to face some of the time.
I will say that even when I post a work at home job opening today, I still post it in a major city to find more qualified resumes.

That's why we should have a "strike" of sorts in every red county across the US.
That's never going to happen, but if people were as financially stable as they should be they could all sit at home for a month (well, fix shit at home) and see the big cities freak out about how their food, fuel, and deliveries didn't happen.
