That rural/urban divide thing is why the suburban wars have been raging...as the locusts spread out seeking new opportunities to loot some in the suburbs either went further out while others went back into the city to reclaim distressed property selling a steep discount...the latter being more liberal-minded folks in general while the former more conservative-minded. But the PTBs in the Demo-Looter party know they need the resources of the rural areas to keep the urban concentration inmates fed and pacified, hence the desire to expand county, state and federal control over rural areas. We are seeing more blowback of this overreach across the board in many regions - secession movements, referendums, boycotts, companies relocating, people relocating, recall elections and calls for a constitutional convention. I just hope it all goes viral!
