assuming you live in a relatively normal American small town, it is one of the main topics of conversation, and has been for a long time.

And that's an incredibly biased source. Small american towns are overwhelmingly conservative spaces, but they are not the place where the majority of people live and have conversations. 80% of the population lives in urban areas:

live in an urban hell-hole

I live maybe 5 minutes away from the downtown area of my ~300k pop city. It doesn't seem to be a hell-hole to me unless you're talking about the housing prices.

and never go to church or talk with normal people

What is a "normal" person to you?

This is m/conservative, so it's a safe bet that everyone here either lives in an American small town or someplace culturally similar. If you're not a conservative, you're in the wrong place.

It doesn't seem to be a hell-hole to me

If you're surrounded by atheists and evil-doers who think morality is relative, you're in a hell-hole and you don't even know it. If you go outside and see more concrete and man-made structures than God's handiwork, then you're in an urban hell-hole. You may be used to it, and you may love it there. You may think it's not a hell-hole, and well, that's quite a pejorative phrase I'm using, and it's hyperbolic. But compared to God's country, every city I've been to (quite a few) fits well into that description. The type of people who live there tend to reject God and thereby embrace evil.

What is a "normal" person to you?

People who see themselves as normal, despite the personal quirks we all have. People who care about God, family, and country, in that order, above all else. A man who works for a living married to a woman who raises their family, who pray together, and who have zero interest in the constant bombardment of leftist ideology. If their kids are in public school, they worry constantly about indoctrination. People who are broadly traditional, living as we've always lived, more or less, according to God's plan.

If you’re surrounded by atheists and evil-doers who think morality is relative

Why do you think atheists/moral relativists are evil?

If you go outside and see more concrete and man-made structures than God’s handiwork, then you’re in an urban hell-hole.

Not all urban spaces are terrible. Urban areas are far better for the environment due to reduced need for resources per capita and when done correctly are no worse from a mental health standpoint. We can and should have urban places built in harmony with nature.

But compared to God’s country, every city I’ve been to (quite a few) fits well into that description.

I've lived in both and I don't think you're correct.

People who see themselves as normal, despite the personal quirks we all have. People who care about God, family, and country, in that order, above all else. A man who works for a living married to a woman who raises their family, who pray together, and who have zero interest in the constant bombardment of leftist ideology. If their kids are in public school, they worry constantly about indoctrination. People who are broadly traditional, living as we’ve always lived, more or less, according to God’s plan.

How can that be considered normal when a minority of people throughout history/today have lived that way?
