Well no. I've joked about before but to seriously think people in rural or urban communities are smarter or dumber than the other is kind of lame.
Yet many(most?) Lefties here make that claim very seriously.
Urbanites, at least those that have the ability to make the choice of where to live probably have more money than those in rural communities
Or maybe not. It costs money to own land and owning land is a good way to make a lot of money. You won't find many rural people living in small, cramped 1-2 bedroom apartments. I kinda tend to believe that all those people living in city slums and public housing or city folk commuting to the big city with both working to pay the bills can't have too much money.
My post however is about polling and to simply claim that Trump is popular with 19% of the country
When did his base shrink to only 19%? It has always been around 33-36%.
that should be his base in no way is a good argument that Trump overall is popular. Then to double down and actually throw a map up that has nothing to do with population just further demonstrates the insincerity of the OP.
Population is irrelevant. The map showed counties won. Counties add up to districts and districts add up to states, and presidential elections are 50 small STATE elections. So to argue whether Trump is "popular" or not, I saved some very interesting figures which puts things into better perspective, then you tell me Trump wasn't "popular" in 2016:

The only thing I would take issue with is that the 1.5 million figure was either premature or a typo. It actually came out to be 2.8 million, but again, irrelevant because once you win a state, you've won the state, you cannot win a state MORE. The Founders were wise in their vision to design a system limiting a local mob from taking the voice and representation from vast districts of the country so that ALL parts of the nation have a voice.
