I live in Los Angeles of course a very liberal city .
Even the "educated " people are pretty ignorant about much of the country.

They are more likely to go to Europe before they go to the Midwest or the south .

They view someone living in their country but in a "flyover " state as being more foreign than someone in London , Paris or Berlin

I also find it amusing that liberals act like 100% of people in blue states or liberal cities vote Dem .
In Beverly Hills for example majority voted Trump

3.5 Million voters in CA voted Trump

Disability recipients all have college degrees and live on the coasts? Is there a source for this? I don't know a single disability recipient.

Wait, there's this:

The four counties with the highest percentages of SSI recipients are in Kentucky. In Owsley, Breathitt, Clay and Wolfe counties, between 16.5% and 19.2% of the populations receive SSI benefits.

Almost 20% of the population is on disability?!

It appears the OP has a point.

People like to travel to experience different cultures from different countries... it's part of growing as a person by adopting different perspectives. The flyover states have made it clear they have no interest in this.

I rather adopt the perspective that allows me to travel freely around the world rather than holed up in some shack in the middle of America.

Amazing how stupid liberals are. I've always noticed the coastal states require safe spaces, tons of regulation, and supervision, but much of the interior of the country is far more live and let live, and do your own thing.

They would not survive without food, if they cut them off

Who's they? Farmers? In my area we have enough organic gardens and greenhouses to supply us well and that's not counting all the urban chickens.

As long as we get to keep our tax money within the blue areas, I'm completely for it.
