This is a myth. Different states still have their own unique political cultures. Some of those differences are explained by rural/urban divide, but only in the most general of sense. It is the norm in most nations for the rural areas to be more conservative than the urban areas. But it would be reductive and oversimplistic to say that the US and Mexico share the same politics simply because both have more conservative people in the rural areas.
The idea that red state blue states don't exist is just a product of American exceptionalism, a blindness that prevents us from comparing ourselves to other nations.
