That does really seem to be what they think. That people who live in cities are orcs or something and don't count.
They tend to have completely bizarre perceptions of what city life is like, too. Like I haven't been in any gunfights today and I haven't had to fight off
looters either.I think that's ultimately what this whole stupid map area thing is - whatever demographics they think live in cities, they're saying that those groups of people aren't " real americans" and shouldn't be accorded the rights of citizens.
wow I wonder what it is about owning lots of stolen indigenous land that makes people more right wing
someone should tell these people america is on census voting not landed voting.
Roughly five: Dave, Susan, Jane, Other Dave, and Indeterminate Dave (only physically manifests on Thursdays during happy hour).
The rest of the allegedly urban population is, in fact, cardboard cutouts.
And I trust those cities far more than everything else. Not to imply they're ran by the best and brightest, by any means, but that shit sucks a lot less than the gormless fucks running all those red counties
for me its mostly the fact that there's people around. People you can talk to, people you can ignore or just vibe around, people driving and riding public transit, and people who will help you when you need it. Even if rural people were 10x more kind and helpful (and they aren't), there's 100x more people around in a city, so it gets completely counterbalanced by sheer volume
there are zero red states either, except oklahoma. so you win, i guess. your prize: oklahoma in 2024.
be sure to collect your winnings (oklahoma) on your way home (to oklahoma) or it (oklahoma) will be towed away at your expense.
There's also Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Hawaii as full blue states and Alaska and West Virginia as full red states. So it's tied.

The picture is here for a better resolution.
If they want to start of by balkanising the US into this I'm cool with that. I suspect the economy of that red area would be more than halved.
oh yeah, in some states the economy (population, even) would effectively be nil
yeah all those fuckin meadow voles, prairie dogs, snakes, and so on sure are voting for republicans. meanwhile, in places where humans live, it looks like they prefer dems.
Nah. It's the people that consider those animals fine dining that vote.
There are literally more fully blue states than there are fully red states on this map..

It's actually tied.
Alaska, Oklahoma, and West Virginia vs Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
