Downstate Illinois is mostly not liberal, any more than is California away from Los Angeles County and the Bay Area. The same could be said for New York beyond the northern suburbs and exurbs of New York City and Pennsylvania beyond the Philadelphia area. It is a shame that it is virtually impossible to break up the existing states into two: a liberal, urban/suburban state and a conservative rural/small city state.

I guess you are right. The same is probably true of other states like Maryland which are controlled by one or two massive urban cancers.
The Democrats are successful in the skill of mass mesmerization and using government to reward their constituents with jobs and special attention. Inner cities are their natural habitat - like roaches and rats.
But their policies inevitably lead to further deterioration of those urban centers and the people who live there seem blinded to that fact.
