Liberals and progressives are frustrated with many rural conservatives. Changes we advocate not only help us, our neighbors, the less-advantaged, but would even more benefit rurals. Why are you voting against your best interests, and for the blowhard who more blatantly lies, and wants to “take” more from you in favor of the wealthy? Why would you vote for those vowing to disrupt and destroy many of the programs you rely on? Why do you keep voting for the country to step backwards when you’re the first one getting stepped on?
Rural electrification. Farm subsidies. Rural mail delivery. Wind farms. And Texas is currently seeing what happens to rural hospitals and clinics when rural areas decide they don't want anyone's tax dollars to subsidize healthcare.
And I bet you think they always have. Thank progressives every time you turn on the lights.
In the US? Just how young do you think progressive policy is?
Then why do farmers keep leasing out land to wind companies? Could it have something to do with the fact that it's a reliable revenue stream that uses a fraction of the land and you can still farm there?
Also, you ignored something:
Thanks for literally nothing, conservatives. Rural electrification was part of the New Deal. Not a conservative policy by any stretch of the imagination.
