Not where these people live. Most conservatives don't live in cities.
80% of the population lives in urban areas, and about half the population is conservative. Even if we assumed that every rural person was conservative (which isn't true), that still leaves more conservatives living urban than rural.
Cite your 80%.
Since we both know you won't be able to so

Well that's not true. Rural areas are typically majority conservative, but mid-size cities and suburbs are typically closely split conservative vs. not.
Suburbs aren't cities.

Why do you try and claim them as such.
