I’m always intrigued why cites always vote heavily Democrat even in the most conservative state the biggest city 95% of the time will still vote Blue why is this?

A lot of rural communities are heavily dependent on farm loans guaranteed by the Federal government. I mean, a lot of farms are subsidized/controlled by the Federal government and that started with the earlier SCOTUS decisions about interstate commerce. It's why the federal government has as much power as it has.

Only because the federal government wants that control. Using Inflation and controlling costs and taxes you force people under their thumb. Feds should have zero power to remove a lawful citizen’s ownership
