    I guess we're going to have to go over this, so both parties working policy on rural areas pretty much comes down to "go fuck yourself, lol". Neither party will say that out loud, but the slight difference in their marketing strategy in rural areas has been that the Republican party heavily implies an offer to spite urban liberals as much as possible. Which one of the many reasons why election maps tend to end up looking like the above.

    Now I'm pretty sure we all know big city liberals are very infuriating, let's just say they really don't do themselves any favors the farther away from a big city they go. Like we're talking full on detached (much more than normal) from reality, to the level that if asked a lot of rural people would love to have them shoved up against a wall. Also to be nice and blunt about this, some people here on hexbear tend to exhibit the same thing as the "big city liberal" a bit at times.

    Has Vance ever been publicly asked "what's up with the eye liner?"

    Like it does his face some good, but like...if anyone else masc calling themselves a republican walked into Congress or wherever in eyeliner I would expect them to get mauled and be called woke

      The men of Congress are famously very catty about their fashion and he likely gets made fun of for it constantly, just not to his face

      you know like Mao said encircling the cities from the countryside, except instead of mass organized peasants armies its a small bunch of sad petit bourgeoisie and settlers

        Golf carts and four wheelers puttering around, maybe an odd riding mower chugging along behind towing a wagon load of non-woke beer.

        Encircling the cities from the oil and gas fields. Roughnecks vote and there's a ton of them.

    How is the original meant to be heartwarming americana it looks like they killed someone and are smirking about it

      i assume the original featured a huge turkey on a platter and idk I would hazard a guess and say that "having a shitload of food" is something that, generally, most people through most of history have been happy about

      For a brief moment the dems had them cornered

      It was all a mirage. National media ran a bunch of cucked polls to try and lathe an upset.

      But Harris was never as popular as she was portrayed. Republicans had their home states locked down too tightly thanks to decades of disenfranchisement. And "wow, look at how weird this couch fucker is" played far better on social media than inside the voting booths.

      considering all their internal polling said both biden and harris were going to lose, they probably told walz to cut that out cuz it could make them win
