I live in America in a deep blue state. The divide is about as classically pronounced as the railroad tracks here when the trailer parks grow numerous. Representation is deeply gerrymandered.

It’s also extremely militarized out here, with most people being attached to the military bases in some way.

I spent 10 years working on the county level. For a time in a rural red area and for a time in the bluer area. Blue areas tend to be corporate owned and worship police. Red areas are desperately poor and distrust government.

Out here the first point of wealth is to insulate and isolate from politics. So it has always been much easier to discuss politics with the rural poor folks. Free breakfast and childcare is a service that’s appreciated and used.

I don’t even know how to reach the deep blue folks living beyond their gates. Maybe the delivery workers can try to leave fliers.
