this was meant to reply to #2 but oh well

Despite being consistently right wing, rural areas consistently have a lower median household income, greater food insecurity (Food and Nutrition Service), worse education disparities (USDA Economic Research Service), and worse clinical care (NIH PMD: 37788228). Makes you wonder which places really are the “shittiest.”

btw there’s mountains of more data showing the red vs blue divide for economic growth, education quality, and other QoL indicators. or you could actually go to these rural, solid red towns and see with your own eyes how barren and abandoned they are.

when someone gives you facts you’re supposed to respond likewise. And yes, these communities have largely been abandoned by economic interests and more recently social safety nets like federally funded healthcare and food programs. Rural flight is a real phenomenon. (Figure from Carsey School of Public Policy, University of North Hampshire)

The point is, even though you may think big cities are “shitty,” people want to live there. And it’s unlikely that they’d have a much higher QoL than Republican or rural areas if the politics running them were any worse.

I don’t want people to be abandoned either but you can thank cold hard capitalism for it

There’s no real legal pathway for that, i think he’s just saying stuff. I don’t think they would want to do an extra-legally either, since Zohran is not a mexican who cant fight back…. he’s high profile person nowadays.
