Here’s an interesting statistic reported by Newsweek on Thursday, November 12, 2020 (see article here):
“Counties won by Democratic President-elect Joe Biden make up 70 percent of all U.S. economic output—or gross domestic product (GDP)—a new post-election study finds. … Meanwhile, Trump voter counties make up less than one-third of the country’s economic output, a Brookings Institution study said. ‘Trump’s losing base of 2,497 counties represents just 29% of the economy,’ the post-election analysis co-authors found.”
I don’t think it’s necessary to mention that rural economies are the most socialist sectors of the U.S. economy. Farmers get crop supports and subsidized loans; western farmers and ranchers get subsidized water; rural roads, schools, mail service, and phone service are all subsdized by urban taxpayers and ratepayers, etc.
