Rural Trump Voters Already Live in the Safe, Tolerant Utopia Leftists Claim to Want

You don't have a single piece of equipment that runs on gasoline or diesel? No tractors, no tillers, no harvesters, none of that? You're gonna do all this by hand, and then you're gonna feed your family and survive on canned goods through the winter without anyone being aware as to the guy who's got a farm full of livestock and produce. Alright. Sure thing, Jan.

We don't need "dollars" people have lived well farming for thousands of years without money,and actually it's a draft horse not an ox.

FFS... why write that and have them move here with their liberal bs!

Your totally "self-sufficient" is one match and a little bit of gasoline away from being burned to the ground dude. Oops, there goes your way of life. Hope you have a good insurance company, and better pray they're not based in one of those "cities" you're totally not dependent on!

It's called canning, but it's actually glass jars,and I have bear traps set on the perimeter of my farm so if your feeling froggy come and try.dont say I did not warn you.of coarse we use gas but I have options unlike you ,who will slowly starve to death in your city in a shtf scenario.

Lol if you think your farm is invulnerable to the outside world you're an idiot.

Gunshots going off all the time in my sweet little town and out in the country where I used to live in Texas. Almost every night. But it wasn’t murder or f*ckery. Just peeps scaring away critters or killing possums etc. no one even looks out the window I don’t think, when we hear it. Ive been in my new little town now over 6 months and have only heard a siren twice.

Country folk have arsenals for that kinda thing.

Gary had one, it came, it went, now it's a warzone. Bloomington isn't anything like Gary.

Anybody with half a brain knows that if there are good paying jobs then people will show up.

Right. And then it ceases to be rural, because development follows. This is paint by numbers civilization.

Also, what the hell does fracking have to do with rural America as it is very limited? That just disproves your line of thought about everything being the same.

I never said it was "all the same". My complaints were that what people were discussing wasn't really rural america, but suburban America, and that they don't actually fantasize about living in rural places, they clearly and vocally just fantasize about living in white cities and suburbs.

The larger the industry the more jobs and housing needed are no mystery. That doesn't mean that such things explode like fracking. Most simply do not.

Where on earth has there been a large industry that drew people to work there and the place managed to not be subject to substantial development during the time that industry was up and running? We all know here that parts of KY and WV rose with coal mining and subsequently completely dissolved when automation and alternate fuel sources were introduced. It's back to being rural with the added benefit of decades worth of toxic tailings piled high at abandoned mines.

The very simple fact is that rural areas vary greatly while cities are more alike.

Again, if you think every city is identical, you're not very bright.

I know that in my state that if you start adding the numbers it is clear that the crime rates in cites are higher than the countryside, that is per capita and includes violent crimes. The reason for this is that all vices are interrelated and so the social ills accumulate as they have a symbiotic relationship (i.e. Las Vegas - Sin City).


Some crime happens more frequently when there's more people, but that's also because more crimes get reported because there's more people to report them. There's YouTube channels of people walking around old farm houses: that's the content. None of that is legal. It's all trespassing. But it's not listed as a crime because no one reports it. Nobody cares.

Lol look at Clint Eastwood here.

One match and some gasoline, and your farm is done for.

That's all it takes.

Keep pretending you can prevent something like that though. It amuses me.

What do you think people did with what they farmed for "thousands of years"? Why do you think people metal detect specifically at the sites of old farm houses?

You're right, no one has ever stolen a trailer or goods from a rural farm house before. LOL

See we have this thing called barter some posters here are straight up retarded.we don't need money.

Sure but you have to live with my wife.

Beyond the fact that farmers didnt just barter, bartering is just you using your farmed goods as trading material for other goods and services. You'll need stuff, and you will need to trade for it whether it's with cash or not.

You'll have to leave the farm eventually. And even if you did manage to sustinence farm wthout buying seed, fertilizer, any sort of equipment or goods, et al, you'd be trapped living the sort of lifestyle that you'd expect to see in Niger or Chad.

Yep ,my hogs need fed,and they will shit teeth.

I'll take that over a burned out city with people eating one another, every time.

You have made many assumptions as to what defines a rural area and what makes it desirable. Rural does not mean everyone is living on a farm or there is no population center of some size nearby. And people who want to live a rural life or at least have a rural retreat are not necessarily looking for a "prosperous" community. Like most things in life, there are trade-offs. They are looking for a better place to raise their kids or a place to retire or just a place to get away from the crazies in the cities. Around here more and more people are looking to have a rural retreat as a plan B for their family. When the big cities here in Texas locked down hard because of COVID, things barely changed here in the smaller cities. That accelerated the pace of real estate and residential construction around here quite a bit. Many of the people buying up the acreage and lake homes around our area are from larger cities. Many of the ones buying acreage build cabins, barndominiums, or have RVs. Almost all of the residential new construction in our county is out on acreage or on the nearby lakes. And many of those are second homes.

It goes without saying that there are not many high-paying local jobs in a rural community. But more and more people are able to work from home now or they are willing to have a 1 hour plus commute to a big city for their job. Yes, there are people with drug problems in rural areas but the cities have them in much higher numbers and they are a much more dangerous element in the cities. Overall the crime rate per capita in rural areas is much lower than in the cities.

If you are young, single, and just starting out in the real world then rural communities do not have much to offer you. But for people in just about every other stage of life, they can a great alternative to the big cities. You seem to be really sold on big city life. But for many people, the cons have begun to outweigh the pros.

Well, I'm not exactly quivering in fear of that happening or the end of civilization coming around the bend, so if you want to live your life around fear, I guess that's your call.

I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve where i live POP around 500 people...

IN a 10 mile area ...

And VERY VERY VERY SAFE...In fact all the people from Any gangs Think WE ARE CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY...OH YA WE ARE STAY AWAY BLM ..lol...

Demon-crats are not just nasty, they are evil nasty. It's deep down in their core.

You can't name on demon-crat controlled city that isn't in major trouble financially and racial troubles ... not one!

Worse yet is the majority of those who are fleeing them and moving into God's land. They are like rats fleeing from a sinking ship. They bring their wokeness and filth along with them and quickly ruin the good areas.

We need to build fence on the southern border and around each demon-crat city to keep them there and let them kill themselves off.

Rural has a definition. Yeah, lots of people want a rural retreat for their family: they're called cabins or cottages or lake houses. I have one. I probably wouldn't have it unless my wife and I worked in a city and made real money.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time side tracking us on Texas real estate, but I'm just old enough to remember when the market fell apart in the 80s too. It always falls apart around cities because that's where people want to live. Less than a month ago I was in Graham getting BBQ. I bet real estate in Graham hasn't seen a significant increase or decrease in value YOY in decades. Possibly ever. That's not even too far from the metroplex. Go another hour or two out towards Amarillo and what will you find?

If you're retiring, sure, moving to a rural area is fine. I need broadband to work and it has to work consistently. That rules out big swathes of America immediately. Then I come to the question of "Do I really want to be here forever?" in terms of relocating somewhere like that. And it's always a no.

True Dat...


it's why they threatened to come to our neighborhoods, that wouldn't end well. Rural and even NON City (small town) dwellers are usually well armed.

There's the line that the party of Lincoln would be today's Democrat Party, implying crooked liberalism of the past 50 years would be somehow so different from the crooked liberalism of over 80 - 100 years ago. But human nature hasn't changed much or at all through the generations.

Moreover, there major self-identifying liberal Democrat presidents - Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman - in office well after the death of Lincoln were flat-out racists, bigots. And they were outright racists-bigots when those words really meant something and hadn't yet been watered down as "progressives" of today have done.

No worries, they're working feverishly as we speak to fuck up the burbs... All in the name of racial equity..

BULLSHIT.

Really you are using desolate West Texas to make your point? Nobody is claiming at ALL rural areas are desirable just because they are rural.

And almost everyone needs reliable broadband to work today. The key is backup. A failover wireless router linked with DSL does the trick. Actually, get better speed (20 mbps) on the wireless than the DSL. Since I got that router a few years ago have not been down once.
