There couldn't be any other factors at play here, it's clear as day. Red is bad and blue is good.
Stellar work, truely impressed. I can tell whoever whipped this up is highly educated and well respected. What a gift.
In case you're wondering why you're getting down voted, it's because you didn't even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.
I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.
You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.
You really didn't have to throw in the "seem to be intelligent" part but that very conscientious of you.
I'll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.

I appreciate your input, but I'm not confused. The post and the comments are something I'd expect to see on reddit, mostly pathetic. Not a whole lot of critical thinking, oversimplification of complex topics, drawing conclusions to dunk on the "poorly educated", nevermind the vast differences between the states that could better account for the results being associated in the meme.
Im don't mind the 👎 I'm not here for a W by this crowd.
Who said bad and good? Those are words that you brought to this thread.
The term "poorly educated" not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The sad dog by Oklahoma not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The point of the stats are to show relative good bad based on some metrics, not to be interpreted as good or bad?
If I'm misunderstanding the post maybe others are as well, why don't you do us all a favor and explain it so that we can better understand.
