Great summary:

We of the Red States are better people. We are better by every measure; and in many ways we pull the wagon of American exceptionalism which parasites in the Blue States are happy to sit in.

The only correction I would add is that there are plenty of conservative counties in libtard states. Our fair Commonwealth is but one example:

Note that the color scheme is reversed here: Red is for the liberals, Blue is for the conservatives. The only liberal counties are city clusters which are dens of wagon riders, fraudsters and the ruling class minions.

Actually, the color scheme is true. Blue is for Republican states - ie for Reagan. Red is for leftist, liberal, communist, progressive ... all manner of socialists.

The Alphabet TV News networks flipped the colors some time after Reagans re-election, in order to confuse west coast voters into thinking that Blue (iow conservative) states were winning, and so “no need to go the poll and vote after work.”

Unfortunately, that strategy worked for the liberal media’s darlings.

Probably, Republicans, conservatives, and Tea Party members will continue to have trouble with a) getting into office -AND- b) carrying out conservative fixes (for all the damages being done by the left) ... ONLY WHEN the various websites and media get these color assignments fixed - return to Blue = Reagan ... in present day matters.

I’ve seen similar maps of some other states, such as New York and Illinois, which show huge areas of those liberal states being populated by conservatives.

Take away New York City, and the rest of New York is quite conservative.

Ditto Chicago vs. downstate Illinois.

Even liberal California, when you take away LA and the Bay Area, becomes a much more conservative state.

Thanks for posting the map of the red/blue counties within a state’s borders. I live in Minnesota and the people here are very nice folks.

When you color the counties in MN as red vs blue, the same dichotomy occurs. Outside the Twin Cities, Duluth and Rochester, most of the area is conservative. There are lots of generous private donors in Central Minnesota. I get tired of folks talking about how stupid the people in Minnesota are. Not all of us here are stupid. Not all of us here are liberal. Not all of us here are atheists or agnostics.

I will wager that even so-called conservative states have enclaves of ‘stupid liberal’ voters.

Thanks for letting ne rant.

I am concerned about the lighter shade of my County. I want mine to be like Potter, Jefferson, Mifflin, Juniata, Somerset, Bedford or Fulton.
