    I could agree with that. Even though I wrote quite a bit about my own experiences in this post, I still had to add some subtle caveats that were intended to imply things that you said as well.

    Rural areas can have wildly different cultures even if they are just a few miles apart. Some can lean left and some can lean right. It does tend to lean more right the further south of the Mason-Dixon line you get, though. There is a correlation to poverty tucked in there as well.

    While it’s true to say that there is typically more crime in southern states that are mostly right leaning, it’s a misleading statement and not completely accurate when you look at all states.
