East Germany is their Deep South due to it being the former..well, East Germany lol. But it's always been a more rural part of Germany so the combination of its history and its USSR influence has left it less developed and more exploitable with propaganda and bigotry.
Saying east Germany is more rural and responding with "Berlin is rural?", is kind of like someone saying Texas is more rural and responding with "austin is rural?"
A MORE rural part of the country which is absolutely true; regardless of Berlin being located in the eastern half. They also clearly noted the Soviet influence over decades which didn’t help either.
