A Nation of Small Towns...

Those who know moi, The Chuckmeister, know I do my research.  If something interests me, I research it.  And if I think others might be interested in the results of that research, I begin to write.  

Like now...

O'Biden's "Green Agenda" is going down in flames.  The one designed to force us to do without oil and gas and adopt electricity for our entire source of energy.   

It's collapsing for a very simple reason.  America is a Nation of towns, large, medium and small.  And there's many more medium and small towns than there are large.

And sometimes it's hundreds of miles between those towns, with nary a charger in sight.  And no desire to seek one.  Ever.

Did you know that just 4.1% of our cities boast populations of greater than 50,000?  And that they contain some 129.7 million souls?  Out of a population of 311,000,000, we're told?  

Presumably not counting the 20 or 30 or 40 million illegal aliens living in our shadows.   

And our top 100 cities contain 15.1% of our total population.  A total of 59,798,704 souls.  Did you know that?    

But get this, fellow Patriots, 75% of our more than 19,509 cities, towns, townships and villages have populations of 5,000 or less.  And for a shocker, 33% of all of those towns have just 500 or fewer people calling them home.  

Think about that:  Just 4% of our cities contain 40% of all our residents.  And 33% of our towns have fewer than 500.  The tail is officially wagging our dog here, folks!

People who live in the Big Blue Cities have a tendency to think that everyone lives in Big Blue Cities.  And thinks like them.  They don't.  

If you take the 30,000 foot view, damn few folks between the Appalachians and the Sierra Nevada's share Big Blue City folks' views on anything.  

Whether "global warming," or electric cars, or millions of unwanted new neighbors streaming across our southern border unimpeded, or the homeless making our driveways their homes, or out-of-control crime, the folks who live in those small towns aren't buying what the Democrats are selling.

Instead of "Build Back Better," how about "Put it Back the Way You Found It?" 

Our own FBI (cough, cough) has told us if we live in a city of over 50,000 population, we're 87% more likely to die by gunfire.  And that moving to a smaller town is the single greatest thing we can do to preserve our lives.    

Sort of like, "Flee, commoner!  The enemy's at the gates!"  We had the lowest murder rates in 25 years.  Just 3 years ago.  Now?  It's, "Run for the hills!"

Has anyone started to figure out that maybe one of the reasons so many people live in our smaller towns, is they're afraid they'd get murdered if they didn't?

With a statistically good rationale for thinking that way?

So while all those uber-educated wastrels (great Old English insult, there!) infest Yale's faculty lounge, dreaming up new and even better ways to destroy America, by turning it into that socialist paradise they so tirelessly seek, our true Patriots will likely be sitting on their verandas, sipping a sweet tea, watching the sun go down over rural Iowa.*   

And Arkansas.  And Tennessee.  And Texas.  And maybe Wyoming.

But sure as Hell not on the Upper East Side...
