Also, given that Omaha is east of the Continental Great Divide, I am curious as to how its waters that come from Wisconsin wind up in the Sierra Mountains which are in California.

But getting back to your point, since you were here in 2003 under a different name apparently, (apparently under multiple names since 2003) you know that because of the Electoral College we had George Bush inflicted on us, and then later we had Donald Trump inflicted on us. Whatever problems getting rid of the Electoral College would bring about, pales in comparison to how it has turned out in practice. I would have hoped such consequences would have mattered to you.

Also, a good number of these rural extractors aren't voting Republican based on farm policies, but because they are against abortion and trans people and undocumented workers. So to say it is urban consumers vs. rural natural resource extractors is at least somewhat deceptive. By not having tariffs as bad as Trump's which hurt a good many rural farmer, Biden and Obama with were more in accord with their economic interests than Trump ever was.
