It's basically the entire country. We're a massively red/conservative country, with a dozen or so major cities that fuck everything up for the rest of us

I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries; as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe.

I think we need electoral reform, if only because too many red stated are turned blue by a single city. We can't have one city deciding the fate of an entire state's elections.

Maybe its because the majority of minorities live in cities. Minorities mostly composed of people who recently arrived from other countries that are corrupted and fucked up, and they bring their fucked up values here.

The whites and the rest of us on the right - those who occupy the white(red) space in between the cities - have traditional American values that have propelled America to the greatest and most free country in the history of the world.
