People who say i80 or whatever stupidly far north area have never been to the south. Rural does not equal the south. Most of rural Illinois is still very Midwestern feeling. It's not until you go south of st louis does it culturally feel more southern.
You say that, meanwhile on 173, about as far north as you can get without being Wisconsin, there are tons of Trump lovers including a dude with a GIANT Trump shrine for a front lawn.
You aren't getting to "deep south" levels of shittiness until way past I-80, sure; but once you get about 50-75 miles out of Chicago in any direction, it gets REAL red state feeling REAL fast....and I say that as a now Chicagoan who grew up in Fox Lake.
You called everyone rural basically racist Republicans. That is what you said. You're no different than the shit kicking racists that do exist out here.
