What's the lead content of the water in these counties?
Clearly, tornadoes are a cause of trump votes
Look a map of all the places we could wipe out and have no consequences!
A.K.A. the "fucking idiot" belt.
Now that's a fault line!
As a trans person I see this as a ‘do not travel’ map.
red usually means danger zone. and its right to assume that.
It really depends. Some of these areas that aren't literally out in the sticks or old sundown towns, they're just ignorant morons and not dangerous face to face.
Source: I've lived in several of these places for far more years than I'll ever care to contemplate and boy do I understand the social isolation trans people have to live with... These ignorant hicks are harmless in the literal sense, but they'll still give weird looks and cold shoulders to anything their tiny shriveled brains fail to understand. Which is a lot.
My hometown is one of these red areas, I haven't been back in almost a decade and I don't plan on returning any time soon. I disagree that they're harmless; hate crimes against queer people have only gone up in the past few years. It can happen anywhere, but it's way more likely to happen in one of these red areas.
I say what I said because it's true: Most are just ignorant morons. That is to say, they might be persuaded by the right candidate. OFC there are still some dangerous piles of shit. There are dangerous piles of shit everywhere. Just because the dangerous pile of shit might be the sheriff in these places does not make these places unreachable or worthy of a "no-go" status.
this is not a place for a poc, or a lgbtq+ . it safe if you are white and straight.
Nope. Safe otherwise, too. You do not understand the DEEP cowardice that permeates these fuckheads.

It’s not and it’s weird you’re this fixated on hand waving away crimes against queer people.
You go places you feel safe, I’ll avoid places I feel unsafe.
sure but if you say that to women Theresa outrage about victims blaming... sigh
I can still be assaulted in places that I feel safe 🤷♂️
Also a lot of places we feel unsafe it's a problem we're unsafe there
Voting against the interests of yourself and everyone in your community can be dangerous.
Can be. Not dangerous enough, I'd say.
Given how gerrymandering works its not adequate. Notice how there's no red in California on this map?
If there were more then two viable political parties, it would be much harder for one party to completely sweep the country off its feet like this.
First-past-the-post voting is a national security threat.
I'll take Places I'll Never Visit for 1000, Alex.
Go ahead and overlay a crime and poverty map.
Peasant Republicans love voting against their own interests.
All the places where most people don't live. Funny
Decade that a county peaked in population:
So thats a pretty good correllation, eyeballing it, its basically the areas that haven't had any real economic growth in decades, and are overwhelming populated by old people, and of course generally de facto have low populations.
If a population peaked in decade x, well, its been shrinking since then.
They are the past, lashing out violently as the light dims... they were never able to figure out why everything sucks for them now.
I'd bet you could make this a better corellation if you did 'decade that white population peaked'.
And then even better if you also did 'decade that white, non college educated population peaked.'
Dumb, dying, racist failures.
Doesn't seem like it,
There is a high visual correlation I some places but others like Kentucky and West Virginia have high votes and population.
Well West Virginia is a bitter disappointment of a state.
Sid Hatfield would be rolling in his grave if he saw how cucked and anti union they've become
That's the fucking poverty map of the country not the population map you idiot.
You're basically showing that people from the areas that voted for Trump are poor, which isn't surprising because poor people are generally uneducated
That's the fucking poverty map of the country not the population map you idiot.
You're right, but there's no need to be uncivil about it.
55.7% below the poverty line?
Jesus, those states should be ashamed.
Without looking it up, I'd guess that the worst is the county that is just the Pine Ridge reservation, in which case the fault is more the federal government than the state, though I'm sure South Dakota isnt helping.
Crazy to kick people off their land they own by treaty and force them into lands that we literally call "the badlands" because of how the land isnt useful for anything that makes money or food.
I’m not going to pretend Canada is much better
It’s very sad what we did to the native peoples on this continent. We should be more ashamed than we are.
Anyone here surprised
The armpits of America
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know; morons.
(lol voted down already when it's a famous Blazing Saddles quote... I say again: morons)
I'd say an ass crack with some kind of nasty rash.
The crease of the map.
I'm surprised no place in California is lit up. Inland can get very dumb very fast here.
Also known as the "cunt" belt.
Looks like a rash. Should get that checked out and maybe excised.
I wonder what the largest city is.
Seems like we should be able to get a more granular map these days. The county-color maps are just too much sand voting.
Places where the weather is so bad it will turn you into a spiteful piece of shit
Привет, «Новая Россия».
Me, a West-coaster: Lake County get your shit together, you've ruined an otherwise perfect score.
