City states would be wonderful. It even gives people the choice - a lot of people want to live in rural communities that are, in general, the ones holding back progressive agendas. Let the cities do their liberal thing independently of rural towns doing their conservative thing. As long as you have a mutual agreement to keep the borders open going in to the arrangement, people can go where their interests are best served.
