Do you have any idea what you're talking about? No.
It doesn't matter what rural areas vote for. They're all gerrymandered to shit just like the cities are.
The political elite on both sides have a good chunk of us fighting each other instead of them. So, congrats on falling for the same bullshit.
I’ve seen more than my share of “red” counties. They’re only gerrymandered when there’s an obvious threat to red state hegemony. Full of good people who fall for stupid lies every goddamn time despite the world of information available to them. The FoxNews miasma that hangs like suffocating humidity in every auto garage and bleak box store parking lot. The fist of Jesus in every lifted truck window.
Take your “both sides” bullshit to someone else.
Why do you think the Democratic party, once well known as the party of the working class, no longer holds that distinction?
because the republican party has split the lower and middle classes with fear mongering and emotionally charged cultural wedge issues. e.g. abortion, gun control, "war on christianity", immigration, vaccine "freedom", etc etc.
