Just seems like it isn't mathematically possible, but yet it happened.

Rural areas swung >5% to Trump, some even more.

Nearly ever single area in Arkansas (less NW AR and the Little Rock area) had a swing towards Trump). Eastern Arkansas, especially Northeast Arkansas had large swings towards Trump. There was a swing against Biden in every single Mississippi Delta county that Democrats typically win.

Whenever Democrats think they've "hit their floor" in a white rural area, they haven't.

Whenever Democrats think they've "hit their floor" in a white rural area, they haven't.

I think they have in a lot of states. Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas (at least for white rurals) and West Virginia all come to mind. Same with the Deep South, considering how racially polarized it is. I wonder if 2020 was the max in Arkansas and Ohio.

[It's Perro Sanxe wot won it]

It’s generally assumed that this was due to a small amount of lingering Clinton brand appeal disappearing once a Clinton wasn’t on the ballot.
