I agree that attributing moral values of people in large cities to the values of everyone else in a state is not worthwhile.
Living in Minnesota, I can tell you that a majority of Minnesotans are not liberal on most issues. But the powerful media in the Twin Cities and the university system commands the narrative in the state. Even Duluth which is a blue-collar labor city is losing some its allegiance to the DFL [Democrats].
But we still struggle to get any traction here against this strong liberal establishment
[[But we still struggle to get any traction here against this strong liberal establishment]]
as do the conservatives in NY- they are vastly outnumbered- outmuscled, and as a result, the State’s policy’s are decidedly gun grabbing, constitution violating, godless, immoral liberal policies- that is not to say that everyone in the state is that way- only that the state as a majority is obviously that way In regards to it’s values-
Places like NY, VT, Chicago etc are not good places to be a conservative- Liberal ideology has sewn up the state’s overarching policies unfortunately
