The needs of urban dwellers differ from those of rural dwellers in obvious ways. That’s why the division got started.

As to why it continues, when the Democrats no longer serve their constituency well: it’s simply brand loyalty. Brand loyalty is a mindless normie tribal thing, and you can’t reason with stupidity.

Much of what goes on in the world becomes far less puzzling when you keep in mind that most people are stupid.

Or maybe there is an even simpler explanation.

For example… the voters “want” what their preachers tell them to “want”. And when they don’t, their dead ancestors come from the graves to guide them, so 102% of them want it anyway.

As expected of someone such as Bryan Caplan.

He travels by plane and his worldview is from a screen and numbers.
