I hate Republicans too, they're selling the whole country for parts, but this meme sucks.
First of all, "all counties were red/blue" is not what "unanimous" means.
Second of all, I don't think "ha ha your state is poor" is the grand slam argument you think it is.
I mean, take a second to look into why red states are poor.
And the only reason their state and local governments are able to remain solvent...
These states would collapse completely without the largesse of the federal government (funded by blue states) if they ever seceded.
I agree with you there.
Takes a lot of mental gymnastics to boil down all the listed differences as "state is poor". Unless you mean "poor" as in "in bad shape" and not "economically suffering". I'll assume you mean the former as that's the only way your argument makes sense.
I think it's more about how a state is voting against its own interests. There is NOTHING about the Republican platform that would improve any of the listed metrics. If anything, Republican politics would only further worsen an already bad state of affairs.
And of the off chance your initial argument was entirely economic, it's Democrats who want federal government involvement to help poor states.
They can make those metrics in other states worse.
LOL. You're right, if they make Massachusetts worse than Oklahoma then Oklahoma's ranking would improve! I never thought about that. BRILLIANT!
We are pretty poor here.
