"Nobody Really Cares": The Rural Voter Problem [View all]
Chicago Tribune link: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/midwest/ct-ohio-town-trump-russia-20170308-story.html
Every time an article like this pops up, I feel like the rules need to change. The rural population lives in a bubble, totally disconnected from the rest of the world. They can see as far as the end of their three block Main Street but no further. Nor do they desire to see further. If it isn't happening at Tom's Dinner or Mack's Farm Supplies, then it doesn't matter.
Obviously, Chicago is feeling somewhat the same way if the Tribune is publishing this piece. Rural America decided to have a traitorous president. They decided to take a chance with a con man. Now they just don't care what happens because they can bury their heads in their alfalfa fields. Doesn't this demonstrate a serious lack of responsibility? Septuagenarians sitting around eating McDonalds breakfasts and talking about the price of cotton does not make a good electorate.
