Michigan fucking loves her. Damn.
also, Trump did nothing for them
What state could claim he did something for them? That this once again is a close race constantly boggled my mind.
state of dispair
State of deez nutz.
Ask Wisconsin how that Foxconn contract he helped secure for them turned out.
(For those not familiar, and disinclined to investigate further, the answer is "Not great.")
Wisconsin here. I'm really surprised that vocal trumpers in this state aren't strung by their balls by fellow citizens.
But then again people still vote for Ron Johnson and Robin Vos
I am one of the many Wisconsin expats that has abandoned the state until it gets its shit back together. The thing you have to understand about the Wisconsin electorate, is that, in the aggregate, it's fucking dumb, mean, entitled, and will never reconsider its beliefs. The tea party movement really thoroughly fucked the state for the foreseeable future.
That lines up pretty well with my experience. I lived in Wisconsin for about 2-1/2 years. It's not a state that has nothing going for it. The structure is absolutely there for it to be a successful and enjoyable place that residents could have right to be proud of. With what I encountered though the phrase Wississippi was very apt. And yeah, it's because too many people there choose for it to be that way.
WI used to be heavily pro-labor, relatively progressive, and on a positive track, although it certainly was struggling to come to terms with its historical blemishes that persisted into deep systemic issues (racism and segregation have always been a massive issue in the state, but have only worsened in the last couple decades). When the right overtook almost the entirety of governor for a long stretch, it utterly broke the state though. The upside is that WI and MN were functionally identical until one went hard right and the other soft left and the result makes a wonderful case study for how vapid and destructive the entirety of the US right and Republicans are.
A picture = 1K words:
Is there a source or context? Otherwise this is just a random graphic
It's simply a reply, no more, no less.
However, I never like to leave an empty belly:
Sauce
That's 271 baby
Talk dirty to me.
The version of this map that takes population into account do a good job of visualizing just how disproportionately land gets votes instead of people in our broken system. https://engaging-data.com/county-electoral-map-land-vs-population/
Also, Trump's a rapist, convicted felon, and just plain weird.
I'm glad you went easy on the lying treasonous cowardly pedophile traitor, Fatty McFelon.
Warms me heart.
Yes, yes we do. We love women leaders, we keep voting for them.
