Having lived in Illinois, it would be a red state except for Chicago. Same with Minnesota, except for Minneapolis-St.Paul it too would be a red state.
Not much of America can revert to a 'natural' state until the population declines, which I do not see happening. We need to protect what we have. Florida does have the Everglades, swamps unsuited to building upon or for farming.
The difference between now and the 1950s-1980s, when Illinois tended to vote Republican, is that "blue Chicago" now includes most of the suburbs. That difference was also sometimes seen in New Jersey and Connecticut.
Minnesota and also Wisconsin today have some blue areas that are more rural.
