Oh, I am not disputing his claim that cities are responsible, I am disagreeing with his contention that fly over states do not have these same problems. Oklahoma is another good example. The entire state is covered in red, but the big cities are blue. Even my state Louisiana is mostly red, with blue areas in our big cities.
Even NYS is like that. A county by county red/blue map of NY clearly shows exactly where the cities are.
It seems that the problem is more cities vs rural as opposed to liberal vs democrat.
However, for some reason, the cities seem to attract democrats and leftists.
