There's also a bunch who have never left the city, and have no comprehension of just how remote some communities are.

who have never left the city

Weird seeing this as a country-fried liberal. City people seem to have no comprehension of the issues facing us. And when confronting them about it, "Fuck all you conservative rednecks! You get what you deserve!"

And yet they have no idea why the countryside hates them and votes Trump. Self-defeating to say the least. Which is what they say of us! Rinse and repeat.

Hillary was a classic example of that effect actually, no attempt to empathise, understand, or try to gain the support of half the country.

Nope, better to just insult them.
