Can’t you read?   In 1998 in the suburbs it was 47 blue 42 red. Up to 2017 it was 47 blue 45 red. 
For those two decades as a whole it has leaned blue.

Yeah, except for 1999-2005 and 2010-2016, but other than that the whole time!

So the last part of that shows what party leading in the suburbs?  The most current available?  
 

that would be BLUE. RIGHT?

Actually your source has more data available, with the most recent (2023) leaning red:

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/04/09/partisanship-in-rural-suburban-and-urban-communities/

But according to that it’s pretty even, although I’d still bet it’s skewed by a few bigger metros where the suburbs do lean blue, but many don’t.

Also to your earlier point about farmers or whatever, there is a middle ground between suburban and rural, towns that are like an hour or so from bigger cities, and the further from the city you get the more red they generally lean.  If I had to guess I’d bet many top wrestlers are from exurban areas like that.  For example looking at this year’s champs based on the hometown listed on their roster, I would probably only count one as being from a rural area.

Robinson: Chicago (urban)

Byrd: Cincinnati (urban/maybe suburban)

Mendez: Crown Point, IN (suburban/maybe exurban depending on your definition)

Lovett: Post Falls, ID (suburban/maybe exurban depending on your definition)

Taylor: Millard, NE (suburban)

Mesenbrink: Hartland, WI (suburban)

Hamiti: Joliet, IL (exurban)

Starocci: Erie, PA (urban)

Buchanan: Loyal, WI (rural)

Hendrickson: Newton, KS (exurban)

When you jump in on a conversation you may want to go back and read the entire thing before thinking you have an ah ha moment

I didn’t dispute that rural was red, I was saying there was a middle ground between rural and suburban.  And also that “rural America” hasn’t really produced all that many top wrestlers recently.

I just posted along those lines...

You can only hate Biden so much before it turns you into a nut job and it impacts your life.

Seriously, when you think it's a good idea to turn to more hate toward Biden or Hillary... be smarter. Their days are over.

Be strong, chin up, and always forward.

If you can't put the past behind you, seek professional help.

Hillary and Trump have a lot in common, they could be best Butties
