actually you spend more money on rural poo poo because guess what their infrastructure is mostly in poo poo shape and that's one of the reasons they see the government as bad, as part of an overall policy program to spend way more on actually important poo poo everywhere

some rural people are irredeemable racists and such but many were just raised in a culture where conservatism was the done thing. they think rural areas are ignored for spending because they've never gone into the cities for any length of time and realized that everywhere, necessary spending is willfully ignored by terrible local, state, and federal governments. this is why they believe so hard in market bullshit, not any genuine ideological commitment.

One of the things that was neat about the last 8 years was whenever there was any natural disaster, Fox kept simultaneously calling it "Obama's Katrina" while also explaining that Bush Did Nothing Wrong.

the phrase obama's katrina has lost all meaning to me and in fact signifies a hungering void of meaning
