That wasn't my point. I am saying that in the next few decades I will expect to see rural America, which tends to be conservative, have less and less influence in elections and be forced to change their base. Whether a politician comes from New York City or a town of 50 in Wyoming has no effect on the overall views of the country.
That is why I think the new conservative push for small towns is short-sighted. It may be purely reactionary, which I have a feeling it is, but they should begin to change in the next few decades to support the views of the next generation.
