It's almost like how people in states that are politically dominated by one party don't like that their vote has little value because it is canceled out by others in their state who vote differently. It's not about being fair, it's about self-preservation. The difference here is that his position is he wants over-representation of his view whereas the other example is looking for equal representation.

I always find the psychological aspect of politics to be the most intriguing, so it's interesting discussing his idea/notion without needing to go into a sort of "you just wanna win" direction.  Just discussing this in a Socraticic manner I'd say if Biden wins and harms jobs of rural republicans then maybe they can just get wind/green energy jobs and see if that makes them more liberal.

I won't deny that jobs and settings and surroundings can affect or alter a person's political views, though.
