> Kansas City, MO...Bay Area counties

This isn't even close to an Apples-to-Apples comparison. You should at least include Clay, Lafayette, Johnson if you're going to look at the entire Bay area.

And then looks at who's Actually In Charge of the state! The people with the power are the ones who make an actual difference, on a political level. Greitens is downright liberal compared to a lot of the general assembly.

> So in a room filled with a random ~10 people will have 2 Trump supporters in the Bay and 5 in Kansas City.

But you and I both know that's not how it actually works basically anywhere. Except maybe the DMV.

> On your visit to the Midwest

I spent decades there, in cities, burbs, and rural areas.

My experiences are representative. Perhaps, I venture to guess, much more representative than someone who never leaves Jackson County.

Spend some time in the bootheel. Or even the comparatively flaming liberal city of Springfield.
