And thinking that the jobs that are long gone are coming back , are........... just a fantasy, played on by trump.

We are about to witness a tsunami of change via technology and the demographic shift

At some point, the party’s geographic advantage will be overwhelmed by that demographic disadvantage.

The story of rural America’s decline is a long-term tale of globalization, automation and technology, volatile commodity prices and the rise of alternative energy sources. Younger residents have fled small communities for economic opportunity in big cities, a trend that is only accelerating today as the economy evolves away from its agricultural and manufacturing base.

A review of data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows America is less dependent on industries centered in rural communities than ever before.

How the GOP came to dominate, and be dominated by, rural voters
