It's actually not Trump "states" but counties that survive on subsidies from Clinton/Biden counties. But it's even smaller than 1/3. Counties Trump won account for only 29% of GDP.
Compare rents in LA, SF and NYC to any moderate red city. they are higher in the big blue cities.
which tells you
1/there is enormous demand to live in those big blue cities. The rent is high.
2/ not everyone can afford to live in those big blue cities so many leave. Because the rent is high.
With a few other factors.
Biden made use of red imagery in his speech the other night. Red is often used as "war paint" emblematic of the flow of human blood in the streets during revolution and times of oppression. Biden's team crafted the blood red backdrop for his counteroffensive speech, when he essentially assured the Democrats that he would use all means -- violent, legal, spiritual -- in the conflict with the Trump movement.
Was his use of the blood red background wise? That's for historians to debate down the road. What we here in the now can see is that it was effective messaging to the Trump elite, and they sure got the message.
Really hard to understand why there are still eight-plus million in NYC. You'd think the place would have cleared out years ago.
Oh, wait--maybe part of the answer is that it's safer (e.g. lower murder rate) than, say, Florida?
Net migration trends suggest people are leaving NY, but that doesn't mean the population goes down, just that it stagnates or grows at a lower rate than the national average.

How is your response relevant?
You are asking me how my comment on the Biden speech is relevant, when you were commenting naively on the same speech in the same Biden thread as I responded in.
You are free to believe Biden's speech was some off-the-muff irrelevancy, a passing moment of no impact, but we think you are a fool for doing so.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Right wing political violence has killed and injured far far more people. Right wing violence has been the number 1 terrorist force in America. Worse then Muslim fundies.
trumpies: 267 attacks or plots
Sensible people: 66 plots or attacks.
wapo:
Since 2015, right-wing extremists have been involved in 267 plots or attacks and 91 fatalities, the data shows. At the same time, attacks and plots ascribed to far-leftviews accounted for 66 incidents leading to 19 deaths.
The liberal media pushes so much bogus “data”. Does the Washington Post even consider antifa and BLM to be left wing? I’ve got tons of examples how they misconstrue data to present the narrative their looking for. Making comparisons of the covid positivity rates between illegals and residents of border towns. Misconstruing the death rate of seniors in NY state to cover for Cuomo. Etc. Them and their Dem leaders are blowing smoke up you with their “data”.
The head of the GOP $again$ telling us how much he admires dictators. And of course we know he loathes Dems. That’s what the Republican Party has become.
you ‘conservatives’ maybe ought to listen to what the GOP is telling you.
Trump praises Xi for ruling the Chinese people with an iron fist.

It's a strategic way of hitting back at Biden's Blood Speech. By giving aid and comfort to America's enemies, Trump effectively turns the table back on Biden without the Dems even realizing it. It's called 4D chess and it's goddam brilliant.
On the one hand Trump incited an insurrection to overturn an election and wants to execute drug dealers like Rodrigo Duterte but on the other hand did you see Biden had a marine stand behind him when he said we must vigorously defend democracy? See - both sides are the same.

Democrat logic:
We tried to kill the entire Republican softball team.
We tried to kill conservative supreme court justices.
We rioted for months on end in 2020 and killed a bunch of people.
