46. People in urban areas view things differently than rural people

The things that people in urban areas think are good for people usually feels like an infringement upon rural people. An example would be rules about foods in schools. Liberals tend to support healthier school lunches. Rural people HATE regulations that try to force things like that. Most kids just throw those foods away and go home hungry. For poor families sometimes the kids' biggest meal is what they get at school, so if regulations force the school to serve items kids won't eat then kids are hungry...and no, they won't eat something they hate just because they are hungry, they will not eat at all.

Guns in cities are more likely to be used in crime, so people like gun control. Guns in rural areas are used for hunting, sport and as a hobby to collect, so people don't like gun control that is designed for urban areas. Many liberal people are very anti-religion. A lot of rural people are quite devout and it's important to them.

Essentially, rural people are often treated as if they are idiots by liberals. As someone who grew up in a rural town as well as lived in both rural and urban areas I can say this is far too common. There is a two way disconnect and disrespect going on.
