What’s the lead content of the water in these counties?
Clearly, tornadoes are a cause of trump votes
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’m surprised no place in California is lit up. Inland can get very dumb very fast here.

Data is normally beautiful. This data is (redacted).
Actually, I’mma unredact it since this post made me run and make a fitting gif.
This data is:
Simple Jack’s favorite. He loves it.
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.
Given how gerrymandering works its not adequate. Notice how there’s no red in California on this map?
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.
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
Voting against the interests of yourself and everyone in your community can be dangerous.
Can be. Not dangerous enough, I’d say.
I’ll take Places I’ll Never Visit for 1000, Alex.
Actually though, great map of places to avoid forever
I plan on avoiding both the red and grey sections for the foreseeable future.
Some of us aren’t so lucky
Yes yes, Eurobrain shit doesn’t stink - more at 11
Why on Earth are you surprised people have no wish to visit a shithole fascist country? It doesn’t matter that there are nice people, if you have to submit yourself to the shithole fascist government just to enter the shithole?
ITT: Yankees who think everyone here is also a Yankee…
Eurobrain
By your comment, you will have to extend that to Canada as well, we don’t like the US now either.
I do, regularly - because you people are just as bad
“Everyone seems to hate American (particularly ones like me). Could I be wrong … no it is literally the entire rest of the human population that is” -Jax
Good luck man, you are really going to need it going forward.
You gonna be a pirate? Only got water left.
When did both Canada and Mexico sink into the ocean?
Don’t know. Just found out myself.
Go ahead and overlay a crime and poverty map.
Peasant Republicans love voting against their own interests.
80% is still only like 50 people.
If all that empty land didn’t have a disproportionate representation in government we might not be living in this cesspool.
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.
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.
Whoops
55.7% below the poverty line?
Jesus, those states should be ashamed.
they wouldnt be voting R otherwise, its by design.
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.
Looks like a rash. Should get that checked out and maybe excised.
