States are "dumb" or "poor". People are dumb and poor and we know who those people are right?

An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.

Beat me to it

Interesting that having a majority of republicans in your state is BAD for prosperity at despite your claims on the individual level.

Maybe republicans just don't cooperate well? Makes sense.

"The rules" and THE Science " are not the problem. The problem is the liberals pushing them. You better wear a mask you dumb Redneck because Science says so. Enjoy your losses you idiot Trumpers! It doesn't work. Matter of fact, it makes many do the exact opposite. You may say that's dumb also, but liberal know-it-all dictatorship has that affect.

The majority of the poorest counties in the USA voted for Trump in 2016. Pretty sure it went the same in 2020. Just google poorest counties in the USA and then cross-reference with the voting patterns.

Most LRC Trumpers are lucky if they've made it out of their parent's basement, let alone actually traveled the USA or world.

The above is correct. Those in abject poverty vote R for some bizarro reason. They all think they'd have millions, if not for that one thing in their way, which is Hillary something-or-other currently (or AOC now for all I know).

The most 3rd World conditions in the lower 48 are on reservations, Pine Ridge is pretty much it. If you want non-reservation US, bush Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, somewhat Arkansas, Virginia because, and a bit of Florida are the correct answers. They're essentially homeless, living in dilapidated whatever structures, including large vehicles, fortified with cardboard, tarps, plywood, and real estate signs.

It's funny to me how much the homeless situation in California is held up as failure, when there are far more living just as poorly, in large areas of a half-dozen or so US states.

According to exit polling, 57% of those making under $50,000/year voted for Biden. 54% of those making over $100,000/year voted for Trump. And I would rather live indoors with indoor plumbing, even in poverty than live outside with a bunch of drug addicts, pervs, and mentally ill. No showers, pooping in the street

Like I said, it's funny that homeless in downtown areas in Democrat states are held up as the biggest failure.

First, when you talk with those people, you'll find not all of them are from the cities they now "live" in. They're from all over the country, including a lot of Red states they've fled because they freeze to death in the winter. And also because people give them bus tickets.

I live in one of these Blue states that's costly. If it comes down to it, I'd sell my house (at great profit), and move to somewhere cheaper, long before I'd be homeless.

Hey, I bet I can get a real cheap house in a dozen or so Red states, where poverty stats show it's the worst possible place in the country to live. Places like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. Because, you know, you can simply look at poverty stats, cross-reference with wages, and see without even looking where things are going to be terrible.

Appalachia

W. Virginia

rural Tennessee

rural Arkansas

rural Mississippi

rural Alabama

rural Kentucky

Any rural area in poor southern states.

Facts are facts. Google it. But it's def easier to just ignore facts and state idiotic drivel. That's why Trump has such a hold on you.

Poor Southern areas are Beverly Hills compared to ghetto's all across this nation...Compton, Camden, N Philly, Detroit, Liberty City etc , there's literally thousands of them...chitholes all.

You write like a poor Southern boy but I doubt you've been to the backwoods and trailer parks of the South.

And I doubt you've ever been to the ghetto...Try walking down the street after dark on Martin Luther King Blvd.. You can walk down the street in any redneck trailer park in the country with no fear..

The Indian pueblos in New Mexico. Much of St. Louis. Parts of the Blue Ridge Mts.

Ever been to Mendota, CA? Porterville, CA? Pretty much any central valley town in CA has some horrendous 3rd world-style poverty.

I've driven through 38 states.

The most depressing were north east Nevada and north east Arkansas.

The most unpleasant was Hays Kansas in mid August. Something was going on with fertilizer that stunk up the entire town. I had just driven 800 miles but couldn't eat or hardly breathe. Left at the crack of dawn with me and the kids yelling obsenities. Wife couldn't fault us.

Correction, Hays was nice enough, it was Oakley that stinks.

Ha ha, google Oakley Kansas smell...

There is a web site "White Trash Mecca" that addresses this very area.

Of the areas I've witnessed with my own eyes, rural Arkansas was very bad.

But the worst areas were probably in Texas - rural West Texas and the Rio Grande Valley areas.

I saw a few houses made of tin and cardboard in the border areas.

I was a salesman for a Satellite Company back in the early '90s

and would go through many rural areas through out the SW.

Boy,what I saw would make me wonder if I had been transported

to the 16th century.Some of these people looked like evolution

passed them by.Did not seem like I was still in America,houses

were dilapidated,streets unpaved,most barely had teeth and

babies dirty and barefoot.And these were white people.
