So, if the issue is rurals (rural people?) and talk radio why bring up combines at all?

Combines and tractors are part of the equation. More so 10-20 years ago. It’s symbolic of rural America.

Gotcha, rurals = MAGA because 10-20 years ago combines and tractors only had AM radio. Glad we are in the same page.

I would posit it is views like this that rurals are monolithic leading them to the far right more than the frequency band of their farm implements.

I’d posit you’re a troll. F off.

Maybe. But point out what I said that is inaccurate please.

Instead of complaining about f’ing combine radios why not focus on why rurals are so drawn to the messages of talk radio? Maybe their fears come from a real (to them) place that should be understood instead this crap.
