    Rural Trump Voters Already Live in the Safe, Tolerant Utopia Leftists Claim to Want

    Losers need to feel safe. Trump is gone. Biden's approval rating is 59%. Support for Biden's infrastructure proposal has 60%+ approval as well, even among Republicans. The 37% who disapprove of Biden are Trump voters. This is what unity looks like; the vast majority of citizens in agreement, and Trump voters. Trumpism is dead.

    Anchorage and Jackson are good sized cities. Biloxi and Billings are not.

    The entire largest state in our country Alaska has barely 1 million total citizens and Montana has just barely over 1 million total. Mississippi has only 3.15 million and both Louisiana and Alabama just about 5 million each.

    I used to live in one. Then they had a trial where I'm 90% certain if it was the 1900's would have resulted in a lynch mob.

    Rural life is generally pretty different from urban life. It has nothing to do with politics, especially at the national level, and of course people of all political persuasions live in rural areas, suburbs and urban areas alike.

    You have a very divisive agenda, don't you? Everything you post is trying to divide Americans, and especially get conservatives to hate and despise liberals based on lies that you find and post here on propaganda sites like Breitbart.

    I have only passed through Billings. However, Biloxi is connected to a long string of towns along the Gulf and for all practical purposes is one continuous city.

    They are still urban areas with all the ills of any other urban areas. If you are going discount the size of the cities, then you should not include the states either since they are small and contribute little to the overall statistics.

    If Trump voters lived in an utopia, why did they feel the need to tear down the system by electing Trump in 2016?

    My feeling: Trump voter's world is far from being an utopia. It is rather threatened by job loss and low wages. That's why they need to lash out against the "others", which in their mind makes their world better, although the REAL culprit is not immigrants etc., but rather increasing inequality caused by GOP supply side policies.

    So true, when people lash out at others it's usually because of their own shortcomings. As you said, it's a way to make themselves feel better.

    All of the above ten states are largely rural under populated states which again blows the hell out of your bullshit post.

    Yeah, I wonder why that could be. Put many, many, many more people into a given area, and violence goes up. Crime goes up. Apparently this has been examined by some of the smartest of Breitbart's brain trust, & they've determined that those increases, which come with increased population, & density, are due to political leadership.

    I think I might be able to find some basic flaws in that theory; but, then again, I don't live in a Trump county, so that must explain my lack of, "understanding."

    They are small states. The larger cities are as high a proportion of their total population as the states with larger cities. So that does not blow the hell out of anything.

    DAMNNN, son! Wild animals, in Red States, can use firearms?

    I wonder if that might be a sign, of gun rights having gone a tad too far(?).

    Where have I disputed that? The claim is that the less populated red states have more crime. Most of that crime is occurring in the more populated urban parts of the states whoever is in charge.

    Your underlined part, is the logical conclusion, and was my point. Where, in the OP, is it claimed, "less-populated red states have more crime?" @61falcon 's post was not about crime rates, but about per capita gun deaths, so it's also speaking about proportionality, not a simple, "more, or less," determination (as your emboldened words are claiming). Then there's this post:
    Funny, it doesn't sound like the poster's point is that this, "key" fact, only makes sense.

    How can any reasonable person believe crime rates are affected by whether it’s a D or R in charge of the city? I guarantee most criminals couldn’t tell you the name of their mayor let alone political affiliation.

    The TEN STATES I listed are the 10 with the highest rates of VIOLENT CRIME on a per capita basis. Most violent crimes per 100,000 citizens.

    A family friend lives in MAGA land and has no running water and instead depends on a hand pump in the house and uses an outhouse. How efficient and safe is that? :)

    Of course now with covid and technology people are able to work a job from home and many who can do that are moving to rural areas while maintaining the big city job. And the rural areas are much more likely to have in person learning at schools and have nice parks and recreation.

    Exactly! I live in a small city 90,000 pop. surrounded by rural areas and both the rural surroundings and the city are overwhelmingly conservative. Unfortunately California is so bad that many conservatives are leaving the state altogether rather than moving to more conservative regions within the state as it used to be.

    Not only that, but 'conservative' rural communities are almost always far more 'socialist' than urban areas. Urbanites don't give a damn about their neighbours, because they don't know their neighbours. Everyone moves around constantly, and won't commit to the greater social obligations of a stable community. Rural people know and care about their neighbours, and support cooperative approaches to the welfare of the community.

    The great irony of this is not lost on us. In fact it's delicious!
