Seems a lot of states are divided between urban liberal and rural conservative, so logically it sounds like if cities could be broken up, maybe that would help the political problem?
Will people empty cities for remote work?
Can cities disperse into smaller cities that don't become liberal?
Can some of the negatives of cities (pollution, noise, crime, etc.) be emphasized to discourage people from being in cities?
Any thoughts on making the country more rural as a way of making it more conservative?
In Theory Yes it’s quite easy. In Reality there’s not really much you could do to Legally dismantle cities. Without tackling both why they formed in the first place. And the legalities associated with what amounts to forced relocation of, depending on the city, quite literally millions of people.
Regardless of how much Patriotic and Libertarian rhetoric you dress it up in. Not to mention the utter lack of places for them to go. And the lack of the infrastructure and public transport some of them relied on in the cities.
