    Not where these people live. Most conservatives don’t live in cities.

      80% of the population lives in urban areas, and about half the population is conservative. Even if we assumed that every rural person was conservative (which isn’t true), that still leaves more conservatives living urban than rural.

      Well that’s not true. Rural areas are typically majority conservative, but mid-size cities and suburbs are typically closely split conservative vs. not.
