“Decision Desk HQ, a data-provider,” courtesy of the Economist, suggests that the partisan divide between America’s cities and open spaces is greater than ever:
… voters in the least urbanised counties voted for Mr Trump by a margin of 33 points, up from 32 points in 2016. (Specifically these are the bottom 20% of counties by population density. Counties which are more than 10% Hispanics, which shifted right for reasons unrelated to density, have been excluded.) Meanwhile, voters in the most urbanised counties—the top 20%—plumped for Mr Biden by 29 points, up from Hillary Clinton’s 25-point margin in 2016. More broadly, the greater the population density, the bigger the swing to the Democratic candidate (see chart). Even after controlling for other relevant demographic factors, such as the proportion of whites without college degrees or Hispanics in each county, the data suggest that urban and rural voters are more divided today than they were in 2016.
MORE in “American politics is even more split along urban-rural lines than it was four years ago.”
After they destroy the cities, urban liberals often migrate to rural areas, where they proceed to transform the politics in their new abodes in a similar direction, not to mention spike property prices to render real estate beyond the reach of the native born.
It takes a special kind of stupid to leave, say, New York City for Idaho Falls, and, once there, work diligently to make Idaho Falls more like New York City.
How low an IQ must you have to escape a place due to x, y, z, only to work to replicate x, y, z in your new home!
Even Tucker, commiserating with fleeing Californians, failed to mention that they pollute every other locality at which they arrive. Idaho, apparently, is getting so toxic that in 2019, Boise, Idaho’s Wayne Richey, a mayoral candidate, “ran on a very simple platform: Stop the California invasion.”

My wide-ranging conversation with the fun and fierce Buck Johnson of the “Death To Tyrants” Podcast has been published:
“Woman on Fire: Passion, Liberty, and Reason, with Ilana Mercer”:
My guest this week is the wonderful paleo-libertarian writer, thinker, and author, Ilana Mercer. Ilana is the author of several great books including “Into the Cannibals Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa”. She is here to discuss a multitude of topics with me ranging from: Paleo-libertariansism, Conservative Inc, mainstream libertarianism, her books, Donald Trump, and even some wonderful advice for my listeners. Many outlets are afraid to publish her work, including many libertarian and paleo-conservative outlets! This makes me love her even more, and as always, I welcome controversial guests who aren’t afraid to break from the mainstream and approved talking points. Ilana is a wonderful writer, a sweet person, and a great interview. I think you will enjoy this. Subscribe to Ilana’s Youtube here: Follow her and contact her on Twitter: Like her FB page here: Visit and connect with her here.
The “sweet person” designation, from one as kind-hearted and courageous as Buck: Those are the impressions one values most—just as when Erik Rush mentioned “good friend” before all else. Those personal touches that come from a place of care, kindness and appreciation are the things that mean the most in this impersonal world. A cliched sentiment, perhaps, but heartfelt.
*****
I never listen to myself. If I did, I would not give interviews. However, I recall this error made:
I likened the profit-motive structure in many a Deep Tech organization to that of a petro-state.
Billions flow, top down, from a Sheik-dominated org to his political fiefdoms. I erred in naming my example. I meant to point, as an example, to Microsoft’s Kin phone project (which was well-covered and critiqued in the financial press), and not the Kinect.
For the rest, do please send me any questions you have about the broadcast via the Comments Section to this blog post.

NEW ON YOUTUBE: Dissident Donald’s Parallel Presidency:
Here is my positive, anti-politics message about the 2020 elections:
“Trump is just now getting into Beast Mode. Dissident Donald will be rising now for real. The presidency was Donald J. Trump dabbling at Establishment respectability. From now on, he’ll be running a populist movement, perhaps a new party—after all, he owns the Republican Party. ”

UPDATE (11/23): WHAT FREE SPEECH?
An unkind cut leveled against me has been that my YouTube comments are a love fest of rotating, unchanging visitors.
Yes, it’s a great deal of fun when YouTube ALLOWS ME ONLY what the left calls female-objectifying comments. YouTube’s “sensitive content-blocking,” “shadow-banning and follower-throttling” means I can’t post these comments which I have approved:
