True or false?

And rural Americans feed the world.

How did this happen?

Rural Americans are typically the ones who really don't want government intervening in their livelihoods. This isn't exactly a bad thing. I've never met a farmer or a rancher who wanted 'more government'.

They love government price support though, nothing wrong with that either.

Farmers and ranchers are not the same as rural
America. They are usually rural, yes, but they are not always the same. Rural America is often poor, likes free stuff, supports minimum wage raises, and everything democrats like. It's a beautiful addition because there is a lot of them. Farmers and ranchers are different. We have multiple streams of income, may take big losses on ag, want small government and things that support self employment and self regulation. We generally vote Republican.

Like what was already posted, the left wants to kill the right and rural America is a good way to help do that. They are in our area. It's how you kill the ag part.

Technically, no. Everyone is equally represented in congress (ie. The House). The Senate is a completely diff story...

But in fact, demographically, they are not equally represented. For all the Left's talk about diversity, show me the folks in congress who match the demographic of constituents living in rust belt squalor, Appalachian poverty, Mississippi delta neglect, native American reservations....etc etc.

They only make up about 10% of the population, this is a non issue

97% of the land and 15% of the population. So yes, they feed you on a daily basis. Let them stop doing their jobs and see how fast it becomes an issue.

This is the exact reason we have both a House and a Senate. With 2 senators from every state no matter what the population is, the rural, less populated states have a say in government that is oversized to their % population. This was the compromise to balance out urban states with rural states.

And that is the goal of Blue team leadership. So what if the blue-team useful idiots starve. After all that is the majority the low intelligent low IQ population.

Until it comes to allotment payments. I grew up working for many that received them. Payments for not over planting specific crops.

Rural Americans are grossly over represented actually. It is one of the flaws of our system. The structure of The Senate, The House and The Electoral College have ensured that. It would even be worse if State Legislatures still appointed Senators.

How does an engineer, accountant or doctor grow crops or run livestock? If **** hit the fan, the rural folks would last a lot longer than the white collar professionals.

You're right, rural America definitely voted democrat.

2020 election


And as an example, the county that my in law's place is at (<2K people) voted for Abbott.

Outsource what? You're going to buy and ship all of your food and fuel from overseas?

Good luck. Urbanites would be dead in less than 6 months.

Farming itself is a primitive skill, I don't doubt highly intelligent doctors, engineers, etc… could learn and teach others how to farm.

Yeah doctors and engineers make up what percentage of urbanites? The overwhelming majority are idiotic service industry workers.

We would have a 70%+ mortality rates if rural America stopped providing for the cities.
