"I wonder if population density is a factor here. There is a reason that the most pathological of societal forces are concentrated in large cities."

I've believed that since a late teenager when reasoning kicked in. It was obvious to me then and more so now, that the more people - the more problems grow exponentially. Just a cursory glance at rural America vs large city America shows it. Depending on the demographics of suburbs, they can go either way.

Example: North Orange County, CA suburbs are very crowded and has a large illegal population - they vote democrat for goodies. South Orange County has open spaces and mostly citizens - they vote conservative while being producers.

Yep. Conservative vs liberal is the same as rural vs cities.

Our hope is that many more people identify as conservatives than liberals.
