    horseshit data that intentionally tries to lay the blame on the certain voters for all the problems in the US

    not our fellow citizens faults that the school media they learn on, the food consume, the pollution that sickens them, etcetera is all owned by the same groups that owns the voting machines

    whole United States is sick with the rot and no amount of data or maps or whatever that helps to divide the country will fix that

    not because people voted wrong and are no best and worst states just all the United States with people in them that need to wake up and stand up

    the country has republican and democrat lawmakers and an elite group that handles them and the handlers own all the means of production including the elections that is the issue

      Is it laying blame though? I agree with your points, but I took it more as, “No wonder people in those areas vote for populists like Trump - they’ve been failed utterly by the system, so why wouldn’t they be up for tearing it all down?”

      Exactly. Everything you see, hear, read, and experience is through a distorted lens controlled by rich fuckwads who have spent the last several decades strategically acquiring anything that may expose them and hold them to account

      You’re right, but I would bet there is a strong correlation with how people vote to how shitty their living environment is, but as you outlined with other facts, it’s just a piece of the problem.
