I think that city folks were derisive of the rural and older voters but never really considered them as the enemy, while on the other side it was clear for the anti-abortion/protectionist/etc people that cities and their liberalism were the enemy.
This changed today I think. I wouldn't be surprised if the next democratic campaign is composed by an alliance of the standard socially progressive base with a populist base that favors poor people from swing states, while treating dark-red states with actual hostility (instead of indifference for their woes)
I'm sure you think it's hilarious to play at this - but you just wait until it becomes acceptable on national TV to call for people's murder like in ex-Yugoslavia or Pakistan. That's where even your joking is heading if you are just tossing this shit out on HN.
