Spreading thin and away from their inhospitable shit holes, policies are less effective at keeping them on life-support. Pushing them out of cities is a good thing.
Don't underestimate the sheer number of leftists fleeing the cities. Many blue states are only blue in the big cities and that's enough to carry the whole state. There are enough to create footholds in rural areas and start spreading the same cancer there until they take over.
Leftist policy survives off "gibs me free stuff", a concept that is neither feasible nor encourages outside urban shitholes. The very landscape encourages a greater degree of self-sufficiency which ultimately shifts mindsets away from the "I'm entitled to the fruits of everyone elses labour, and they should forcibly share with me" mentality that leftism is often predicated upon. Environment matters A LOT for the formation of ideologies, including how the environment ultimately forces or doesn't force certain actions. The more independent you need to be, the less likely you are to demand some entity force others to provide for you.
Ideologies require hospitable environments. There's a reason the rural is more right-wing and the urban is left-wing. Because those environments literally encourage the mentalities that are the cornerstone of the ideologies.
