I guess, coming from an island, which is basically a collection of small 
towns, and one mid-sized city, you're conflating "town" with "city." The 
towns in the U.S. are mostly NOT Democrat strongholds. And it's in the towns 
(or their surrounding countryside) where all this stuff is made that the 
cities, like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, etc., use. 
It's those cities that would control the whole country if mob rule was 
allowed in the U.S. — not the places where things are actually made and 
electricity is actually generated, etc.

Again, you're showing your complete ignorance about how things work in the 
U.S. And your ego is too swelled up to admit it. Learn something about the 
United States. Get past your obstinate ignorance. Escape from your 
delusions. Than come back and lecture us on how our country runs.

In other words, get a clue. Once you've obtained one, then apply your 
vacuous snark to your idiot arguments.
