Your gut is not wrong. Population density is directly proportional to more progressive political views, and the other way around. It's that simple.

- papito 6y agoLiterally any by-county electoral map in any presidential election this century. Texas is red, but all the bigger cities are blue. Always. There IS one exception - military towns, but even that has been upended this cycle. The explanation is reasonably simple. If a population is spread out, you mind your own business and you are generally opposed to the Law Man telling you what to do. A dense area changes the dynamics. You have to be more considerate - to keep the peace, there are more laws, regulation, and norms because naturally some people try to break the peace and disturb the herd, and in an urban setting that has an amplified effect. This is a very natural trend in any society.
