I’m detecting a hint of something Freudian. Who are the progressives? People who live in cities and college towns generally speaking. Who lives in cities? People from the country who want to get away from red America. The dismissal of red America from liberal elites has a much different context than the angry gay college student who is mad at the religious prejudice of their parents. It also explains some of the desperate pandering to a vaguely understood demographic. All that is understood is that the other side is hated. Most of my family voted Trump in Arkansas, and I live three hours North in Kansas City where people won’t speak to you for supporting Trump.
