Very few progressive ideas would benefit the rural areas.

Rural electrification. Farm subsidies. Rural mail delivery. Wind farms. 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.

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:
