Yes, but ONLY as long as BIG GOV allows the leftards to “deny the need to take responsibility for their own actions.”

It seems to me that the "liberal" "nanny-government" dominance is simply an inescapable artifact and consequence of high population density, where individual negotiation of personal physical and behavioral boundaries become extremely difficult.

The crowded areas are overwhelmingly "socialistic" whereas the less-populated areas have a healthy respect for the freedoms of others and a sense of personal responsibility for the outcomes of one's actions.

Isaiah 5:8,11,18,20-22; 10:1; 29:15 (KJV):

8Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

These are all characteristics of overcrowded areas, where privacy is non-existent, conflicts outrageous, and murder rampant. Think of Kurt Russell = "Snake Plissken" in "Escape From New York/LA" for starters.

The Declaration of Indepenence and the Constitution was great for a sparsely settled world, where if you didn't like your environment or weren't wanted, you could just pull up your stakes and move on. But I'm not sure that they will work in cities that are just warrens of (Democ)rats nests pressing each other, however elegant.

Are they governable? One wonders.
