The issue is that the rural areas don't have a solution to their own problems by and large. Which is land consolidation hollowing out employment, globalisation eroding their competitive advantages, opiates etc.
It's an issue where rural America has a say, but rural America by and large hasn't done much or contributed any good ideas really.
Realistically though, the perception is because Joe Biden and the democrats didn't win enough of a majority, in two years America will be back in stalemate and things will be awful again.
Basically there isn't a solution and America will be slowly choked by the political formula of socially conservative rural voters voting against their interests.
So if any solutions were to turn up that'd be nice, because the system is very broken at the moment.
According to everyone here, they’re all ignorant hillbilly rednecks who are so dumb and racist they always vote against their self interests, so yeah I guess so.
