Well, I was trying to paint you in a corner but I guess you figured that out.
The reason Trump is POTUS is because the "elite" big city folk dismiss anyone who doesn't live in their area as "backwoods rednecks" or "dumb dirt farmers" or whatever term they'd like to use. Oddly enough, the Dem Party, the Party of the People, does the same thing except they try to cater to the poor in those big cities as well.
So Trump went after the South and the Midwest. And it worked. He used the Electoral College to his advantage and the rednecks/dirt farmers somehow forgot he's been an elite big city folk his entire life.
But, anyway, living in NYC/LA doesn't make you intelligent. But you can't tell that to the people living in NYC/LA. They're not smart enough to know that.
