Commie Cities of America

The 2016 election in the United States showed a sharp division between the cities, which voted for shitty Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the country, which voted for less shitty Trump. Cities = poor people + government and in the money drains of the country like New York, and San Francisco, they're where the super monied people live.

The cities and the government employees desperately need the real productivity of the rest of the country, which seems to be very tired of them. Lots of propaganda is directed against the people who don't live in cities and aren't tied into the patronage systems of their ruling cliques, similarly various central planning schemes aimed at expanding the taxing power of shitty cities are floated all the time. In areas like Northeast Ohio where the political power of central cities like Cleveland is minimal, the schemes of such planners mostly fall on deaf ears. In a handful of places in the country, central planners managed to get control of large regions and extract rent from a large population.

It's really interesting that the corporate media is losing influence at the same time.
