IME it depends on how rural. Larger suburbs are pretty politically blue and culturally accepting where I've lived. A few years ago I moved to the suburb where my great grandparents once lived, then surrounded by farms. Now it's a bustling exhurb with two significant immigrant communities. Within the cluster our kids play at the households have 4 different languages.

Most cities anywhere, even in red states, are pretty liberal.

This is another common HCOL area Stockholm syndrome thing.
