The coasts are BOOMING. How's it going in Trump country?
Hello:
The 2016 election revealed a dramatic gap between two Americas—one based in large, diverse, thriving metropolitan regions; the other found in more homogeneous small towns and rural areas struggling under the weight of economic stagnation and social decline.

The 2016 election revealed a dramatic gap between two Americas—one based in large, diverse, thriving metropolitan regions The problem being that multiculturalism has nothing to do with it, but population does/job density. It's never been different in my lifetime up to 2016, even when big cities were way whiter. Now fast forward to today. Economy recovers in Trump country, but can it last? Has Trump caused a rural rebound? https://theweek.com/articles/795940/trump-caused-rural-rebound Under Trump, the jobs boom has finally reached blue-collar workers. Will it last? Small-town America has gotten an economic jolt under Trump As midterm elections near, smaller, redder places show more economic growth Side: Trump can do no wrong
