I look at this map, & the way it portrays the red vs the blue. Rural vs cities. Conservatives vs liberals. It’s misleading.
Do conservatives look at this & think, maybe, wow all that land is on our side.
Well, land doesn’t vote. There are individual farmers who still own land, but a lot has been bought up by corporate interests, & a lot of it stands idle so corps can collect subsidies. Or write it off on taxes.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is fucked up.
@DocLaing John Mellencamp sang about this almost 40 years ago.

We’ll never get it all back while I’m still here. It’s not too late for the young, is it?
@DocLaing I hope not. It does seem like the new generation will be better than us olds.
