It'll be interesting to see if the obverse is true.

My suspicion is that the US will continue to self-select along political and social lines, as it seems to have been doing since ~2000.

I was more referring to "NIMBYism" or suburbification than purely political parties; both deep red and deep blue "cities" vote heavily NIMBY when they get the chance, and some of that may be that many of the people living in said cities wish they could live more suburbanly or more rurally, and try to make the city as much as such.
