    This is the answer.

    I live in a conservative area and I’ve literally gotten political fliers in the mail from two different republican local campaigns bickering over who’s the most against public transportation.

    One of them said “So-and-so would fund a new bus station that would allow those people from the city to come to our town!

    The other one’s response was basically “Whats-his-face is a liar! So-and-so only suggested funding and renovation of an existing bus station which doesn’t have a route to the city. It wouldn’t bring those people from the city here at all!”

    To me, reading that just felt like the entire county’s racism on full display…
