Thanks for reminding us of what Americans have been thinking since the 1800s,
Captain Obvious.
Those small towns are in Blue-State shitholes too.
If not for the top 10 most populated cities in New York State, most of New
York State would be those small towns.
New York City: 8,804,190
Buffalo: 278,349
Rochester: 211,328
Yonkers: 211,249
Syracuse: 148,620
Albany: 98,976
New Rochelle: 77,427
Mount Vernon: 67,027
Schenectady: 65,570
Utica: 60,514
Compare that with Texas, you dork:
Houston: 2,355,386
San Antonio: 1,567,118
Dallas: 1,343,573
Austin: 967,000
Fort Worth: 925,373
El Paso: 694,827
Arlington: 398,125
Corpus Christi: 325,240
Plano: 289,578
Laredo: 255,578
Keep talking out your ass, faggot... it's probably the only way your boyfriend
knows you're alive.
It might take a few years, but "New York City" can be "moved" to many places,
making IT one of those small towns you'd want to escape for greener pastures.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
