    Rural areas have electric.

    And I bet you think they always have. Thank progressives every time you turn on the lights.

    Farm subsides predate progressives by a hundred or more years.

    In the US? Just how young do you think progressive policy is?

    Rural areas don’t want wind farms.

    Then why do farmers keep leasing out land to wind companies? Could it have something to do with the fact that it’s a reliable revenue stream that uses a fraction of the land and you can still farm there?

    Also, you ignored something:

    And Texas is currently seeing what happens to rural hospitals and clinics when rural areas decide they don’t want anyone’s tax dollars to subsidize healthcare.

        Ok thank the conservative they actually made it happen.

        Thanks for literally nothing, conservatives. Rural electrification was part of the New Deal. Not a conservative policy by any stretch of the imagination.
