It is related to issues. Republicans appeal better in rural areas where topics like regulation, “less government”, minimal infrastructure spending are more popular issues. In cities (AKA urban areas) government spending on social services, infrastructure, regulation, urban planing are necessities. Also if you look at the electoral maps in many cities that D influence is pushing out into the suburbs where communities rely on the city and R policies have less appeal. There’s nothing racist about this. It’s a simple fact.

So the opinions of people who live in cities somehow don’t count? What the hell can Ryan possibly be saying that makes any sense?

If he isn’t referring to the black vote, then this is a “Real America” argument. Rural voters are real america and city voters are “the others, who don’t count”
