Sally Goldenberg, obviously disturbed to find herself in so-called “fly-over country,” tweeted: "Observations from Iowa - it is very flat, driving is monotonous, there is more unbuilt land in one block than NYC has in an entire borough, dirt roads are terrifying, no one carries almond milk and caucus-goers are extremely well-informed."

Goldenberg’s view from her perch in New York is reminiscent of the infamous Saul Steinberg illustration on the cover of the March 29, 1976 issue of The New Yorker which was supposed to represent the view from Manhattan of the rest of the world.
Steinberg’s illustration featured the entire bottom half of the image as Manhattan’s 9th Avenue, 10th Avenue and the Hudson River. The upper half contained the rest of the world; the rest of the United States is equivalent to three New York City blocks and has four boundaries: New Jersey, Canada, Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. Only five American cities are listed: Washington D.C., Chicago, Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. Three states are named: Nebraska, Texas, and Utah; beyond the Pacific Ocean China, Japan, and Russia are labeled. Europe does not exist.

In 2017, a writer for New York Magazine, defending against the charge that liberal elitists look down their noses at Middle America, wrote that the liberal elitists really had middle America’s best interests at heart:
It’s always a good idea to make some effort to understand people with different backgrounds, different views, different life circumstances, and yes, even different prejudices than our own. But to the extent that liberals genuinely believe their policies are best for the whole country — you know, the country they are suspected of loving too little — then arguing that the Heartland is worse for their absence is an act not of “elite” disdain but of communal affection.
That may not be a perspective shared by folks in so-called “fly-over country.”
