Do not be surprised if Ds are only able to achieve 2020-level performance in rural voters.
This is a divided nation and inflation is hitting rural America hard.
There might be a typo there.
I am not sure how much more room there is to fall for Ds in rural America from Trump's performances there in 2016 and 2020. But I don't see us improving in these areas unless we can connect with the areas in a profound way. And inflation is one issue that already-R-disposed voters in rural America will blame on Democrats.
That's just how the cookie crumbles in Anno Domini 2022.
