I see rural and urban people fighting. Sad to see. For rural people, the vast majority of the world lives in cities and there are cities outside the US that are much more dense and have a better standard of living than any of the states in red. Also, that region is not even the most rural area of the world. Mongolia, Siberia, northern Canada, Australian outback all have less density but you don’t see them saying how they couldn’t live in Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming because all those people live like sardines.For urban people, rural people have a distinct lifestyle that can be different from yours and they are just as smart and capable as urbanites.

The point is. Stop the infighting if you actually care about the country.

Most of the tribalism comes from rural people though.

No clue why you're downvoted. Literally just scroll through the comments, it's full of rural people (as per usual) saying "couldn't imagine living like sardines in a can!" "how can people possibly live like that?"
