I live in an extremely white collar , dual income, half a million dollar home, suburban tahoe licality and even here I see signs for cruz and buzbee. So yes, its not just the rural blue collar ohio or kentucky people who can just vote blindly.

A strawman question....

Its really the other way round. Rural people are paranoid of evil city people raiding their farms and taking their guns etc

Urban dwellers want to take their guns and dictate what they do with their land.

That's a fact.

But they choose to keep their ties to the money pot. So they lost as did the Democratic establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Speaking of super rich and establishment, now instead of someone like Cory Booker in the Democratic race, now you got two billionaires. Ain't that special?
Its an illusion that democrats are more supportive of the lite. Trumpis a good man and stands up dor america, but the major rhings he did without any noise qere the tax cuts for the corporations , repealing estate tax and signing the spending bill few weeks ago. And he nearly started another condluct by killing solemaney.

Are you upset he killed a terrorist who is responsible for the death of US service personnel?

I've meet a lot of new people during my recent move. I've meet many Republicans in MI, NC, TX and SC. Most of them are no longer Trump supporters. So I don't worry about it. The people that are Trump supporters don't voice or display it openly.

Of course y'all are filled with fear. It's why you see Russians and Nazis everywhere.

I just moved from a conservative rural area and into a more liberal Southern city. I don't hate anyone in either place. I'm curious why you assume I do? I think you may be imagining things.
