What’s your point, though? I’m not sure if you’re pointing out that this is basically a population density map in order to argue something in particular? Because it seems like OP’s entire point was that while the majority of Americans are not conservative, people disguise this fact by NOT using population density maps to demonstrate political spreads.
So, yeah, people live in cities. And most Americans swing left. Glad we can both read the map and agree on its message 👍
Probably why when the slaver’s college was being debated the “let’s not concentrate political power in a few northeastern cities” argument held more sway.
I mean if by very recent you mean around the 60’s sure. But that’s still for like 20% of this country’s existence. Early in the country’s history New York/Boston/Philadelphia also had a lot of power in deciding who became president.

Mostly only recently
Yes. I’m not sure why that needs to be pointed out?

Political voting power shifting to cities is only very recent?
