That map is a real statements of the effects of Obamiasm on the the U.S. and once again it was proved that Socialism NEVER works...
Alaska still too close to call in that graphic?
WOW Travis County TX went Red. Maybe there is hope for Austin yet...naw I guess not.
From NH to LA there is a blue line curving along what is close to the I95 I85/I10 I20 interstate corridor. Somewhat the same on the I% corridor on the west coast. As cities build on these interstates we are getting to what I call a linear megacity with little rural breaks between cities. When Dwight Eisenhower proposed the interstate highway system for defense reasons I’m pretty sure no one considered this consequence-a linear mega city-would arise. Probably affects weather patterns, voter patterns, social interactions, commerce etc. I haven’t seen a study on this but maybe my niece can do one as her economics thesis.
Wow, that was close.
And we didn’t get a majority of the popular vote, either.
Still, as a previous president said, “Elections have consequences.” Hopefully this one will have LOTS of consequences.
It pains me to see those light blue counties in the western North Carolina Blue Ridge, islands of budding Stalinism in an ocean of sane mountain people who just want to be left alone to live their lives.
The northernmost is Watauga County, home of Appalachian State University. At least it’s contained.
The southernmost is Asheville, and it’s metastasized, with surrounding counties beginning to fade from deep red to pink.
