this mf thinks we still have medieval walled cities, like dude, you can literally just... walk out of the city. I mean, yeah, you can indeed disrupt logistics, but there's a pretty big gap between "trucks can't get in to deliver supplies" and "entire population is trapped inside of the city". Also railway transport isn't real I guess
also love the idea of completely destroying supply routes into the city with... backhoes and gravel. I guess city folk don't have any construction equipment of their own to clear and repair their roads. Also I guess the roads are just going to be conveniently completely empty for however many hours it takes you to block them, because, uh...
do an area study 
i'm gonna keep banging this drum:
If your food primarily comes from a grocery store, you live in a city.
"But we drive two hours to the grocery store, we're rural!"
Still go to the grocery, though. Nearly two centuries of industrialization has uprooted the systems and relationships of rural life, replacing it with urbanized market relations and the same dependency to industrially processed foodstuffs. In the United States today, there is not so much an "urban/rural" divide as there is a sliding scale of high-to-(very, very)low urban density. Pockets of rural life still exist, but they are the dwindling exception. By and large, our food comes in square plastic packages and we all pump petroleum to get to it. Some of us just go through more petrol in the process.
As for this tweet, there's a decent chance Wes here has mistaken their suburban satellite for a genuinely remote (but still undeniably urbanized) small town.
no bro I am extremely self-reliant and independent as I drive my Mexican-made "US" pick-up truck down the highway subsidized by folks in blue states/cities, burning oil from the middle-east to buy food harvested by migrant workers and shipped from around the world at the local sam's club. I am a rock, bro, I am an island unto myself
