    Honestly, for a lot of rural dwellers and exurbanites, “city” is a scare word all on its own.

    They’re not who need to be convinced, though, it’s the urbanites and suburbanites. There are more conservatives in cities than our in the country, it’s just that in the country we’re in the majority and in the city we’re not. The urban conservatives are the target audience for this message.

      yeah that’s another bucket of worms onto itself. “City” is already charged in conservative language to mean something bad. It’s like how “urban” is sometimes used to mean “black” in a negative way.
