Contra Kuff, I doubt it.
Kuff is talking about this Trib piece; here's another from a month ago.
First, let's note that MOST states, including many more blue ones, don't grant county governments a lot of statutory powers. So, this isn't, nationally, totally a blue vs red deal.
And, there is NO way the Lege is reporting out a constitutional amendment to change that.
Second, here in Tex-ass, one Hood County unincorporated "community" voted down a municipal incorporation effort last year. Per Kuff's piece, it was to give the would-be city more control over a data center Many people in places like that will be fine at bitching about wind farms causing cancer, about "gummint" stealing rights, and about Democraps, rather than incorporate themselves and actually have to pay local property taxes.
Right now, the white collar retirees in these places probably won't even blame Trump for their higher gas prices. (Many farmers actually WILL, on diesel and fertilizer.)
