The good news is that as technology permits, people are leaving the cities for the rural areas. It’s been going on for decades, but is slowly increasing as working from home becomes a reality for an ever increasing part of the population.
I wonder if God isn't making it possible for conservatives trapped in cities to move out and still make a living - out of their own home...like 86% of the people did less than a hundred years ago.
That leaves the majority if libs/commies clinging to the cities - herd mentality.
The big dem-libs cities are located in places where such things as an earthquake, a major hurricane, a tsunami, etc, could cripple them - even a solar flare or EMP that knocks out power - and increases crime exponentially at night - no trucks with food rolling in... While the country folk, as always in times of such, can make it. For the most part. they'll survive. For example, I have my own well water, wood stove (heat/cook) canned, etc, goods from the garden and farmers all around... Remember the admonition about keeping your lamps full and wicks trimmed. Maybe God will say:"Enough!" this is His covenant country - He will nt see it destroyed.
