Do they have the same demographics as big cities in the U.S.?

You live in a city, do you not?
Yes.

It isn't a theory. It is empirical.

What demographics are those? I'm sure you know that most of those cities I mention are extremely diverse. Like the US, Canada and Australia are lands of immigrants.

Except the cities pay for the rurals. Whether it’s farm subsidies, tariff relief, public funding of private pensions to coal miners, Disability in the South, giveaways to Appalachia, etc. the cities are the economic engines of the country. In my state, Seattle gives $3 billion a year to 33 mostly rural counties.

Blue cities pay for rural infrastructure, we’re even paying for their broadband. That requires education and work. Cities are where the educated live and where the educated pay taxes. The less educated live in rural areas and vote Republican, putting their hands out for money from the Democratic cities while insulting them. That’s why it was so easy for Trump to appeal to them.

because many people who live in cities are poor and destitute living in squalor and believe Democrats will take money from other people and give it to them like they've promised to do since LBJ was in office and never have.

Quite a scam the Dems have been running on these willing dupes for 60 years now. lol
