I didn’t say the rural areas were useless?
I don’t see BLM movements headed to rural Iowa or Nebraska. But if they did I’m sure people will stand their ground. But that doesn’t changed what happened, in large metropolitan areas no right wing, conservative or any milita groups took a stand.
The one person who did, and some would say that area of Wisconsin was rural, is being tried for murder.
So maybe you think the real civil war will be between urban and rural areas?
Sorry - I wasn't clear enough in my response.
The "force multiplier" of the rural areas is huge- they have the cities by the short hairs. You can easily live off the land in the country on as little as an acre and nearly 100% of US food comes from there. In the city, on the other hand, if the truck is late you don't eat. In fact everything in a city has to be trucked in. So even though the votes are in the cities, the power is in the surrounding areas.
Most right wing or conservative people I know do not live in cities. That self selection probably comes from the need to be self sufficient to a degree. You aren't going to see a right wing group going against the rioters in a big city because they don't live there so it doesn't affect them. I lived 10 miles from downtown Phoenix, Az for a while. It was like another planet- never cared what the hell they did there.
As far as Kyle Rittenhouse goes ( I think that is who you are describing) the story is kind of odd. He is from Illinois and went up to Kenosha, which is just over the border. I've been there quite a bit in my cycling career. It's a moderately sized city and a bedroom community, definitely not rural, between Chicago and Milwaukee. Maybe he had family here - I haven't fully followed the story. And yes he is being railroaded.
I agree 100% that a civil war will be between rural and urban. Not a doubt in my mind.
