17. But this sounds more like a city versus country thing

Than a liberal versus conservative thing. Do they not know that lots of city people are conservatives? Some of those city people moving to the countryside are voting red. I assume they don't know that a lot of city people are just displaced country people like me who couldn't make it in their home town/rural area. We aren't all ignorant of country ways. The people I hear complaining are specifically talking about liberals moving to their red areas and voting blue.
