I think framing it as urban vs rural is disingenuous but it’s also hard to narrow down what exactly is left vs right. It’s played like a shell game with the definitions been twisted to suit agendas. I grew up rural in a town of <2000 and now live in a town of <5000. I feel it has more to do with empathy and compassion vs fear and the need to attack the “other” as it’s easier to drag them down rather than build everyone up.

I get wanting to be able to defend yourself and your family but far too many people are using that shit as an excuse to murder others. Also, there’s no possible way any amount of militia is going to take on the US armed forces. No amount of small arms fire is taking out a B-52.
