Isn't this attitude pretty much exactly what the article says was the problem for the left last night?If you go to college, what does rural life really have to offer you? There is a real brain drain as well in these Midwest states. Their best and brightest go to college and relocate to the coasts and other big cities.
Sounds like something written by a guy deep down tied to his rural roots.

I grew up in the suburbs of a decent sized (college) town of ~200K people. After college, I got a job in Atlanta and lived in the city for a few years. I hated it. I didn't like apartment living and could not afford a house with any land. I moved a little further out into the 'burbs, and still hated the traffic, congestion, etc. It's just not for me.
I now live in a small town. I have a lot of land, a lake in my back yard, and it's a relaxing way of life. Getting my kids to school or running to get some shopping done may take a little longer than it does for you, but I don't sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic the whole way either. Our small town is ~15 miles of another small (but larger) city. Is it a redneck, hick area? Maybe in your opinion, but the county is one of the highest per capital income in the state - not exactly poverty-stricken.
To me, that map is disturbing in the opposite way.
The article makes sense. I've been reading celebrity Twitter comments and a lot of talk about racists, misogynists, whatever. They said the same thing after the Brexit vote. No, it's not that simple. There are racists and women haters who voted for Brexit/Trump but not every one was and being so dismissive is how your side lost.
P.S. I'm a dirty libtard -- except liberals are usually the only ones who give me shit here when they infer the wrong thing from shit I say.

At least Trump will try. We've already seen your candidate fail to make any changes in 30 years. So I'll take the guy at least willing to give it a go.i feel bad for them because trump can't fix this.
Didn't you hear him...he's the only one who can. He alone has the answers to all our problems.i feel bad for them because trump can't fix this.
Sorry to inform but I go to factories around the Dallas Fort Worth area on a regular basis as I'm a truck driver. I've yet to see this fully automated factory full of cheap robot labor.
