This is the 2016 map. Maricopa county is red.

Cool. Now, colour the balls in a way that shows which way each ball voted %wise & we get a clearer picture. i.e. Cake Diagram that shit up.

Most Trump supporters are suffering cognitive dissonance, even faced with facts or truth it will not be accepted, I’m scared violence coming

If we’re going to treat politics like we treat sports there should at least be more than two teams
oldguyexlurker
This map STILL shows Maricopa County red. They FIXED that and voted blue or Az would have gone Turump. Unfortunately, I live 1/?
oldguyexlurker
just outside Maricopa, in Pinal, and a majority of THESE idiots voted for Trump. Of course, my city is well known for meth use, so...

This is old, from 2016. In the 2020 prez election some of the largest red counties from 2016 flipped blue, voting for Biden over Trump
EmperorWiggles
I can't wait to see the heat map on that.

Maricopa AZ (Phoenix), Tarrant TX (Ft Worth, next to Dallas), Duval FL (Jacksonville), Pinellas FL (St Pete), Kent MI (Grand Rapids), etc.

Does it really show people, though?

How can anyone be so stupid as to think impeaching or attacking Trump is an attack on them? He is insane and unsafe

To be fair, acres matter a lot more in a war than they do in an election, especially the ones that make all the food.

Considering all of those farms rely on blue states to give them money.....
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Wrong! There is no war & "farmer" south LOST the last one. Also, farms DEPEND on blue $$$ & subsidies...

Again I say, the ones actually working to bring us our food are not “red.”

That argument is less and less valid in a globalized world. It wasn't enough in 1865 and wouldn't matter in a hyper-mechanized 2021.

Yes and Maricopa County AZ flipped from red in 2016 (this map) to blue in 2020.

Both the OP's and this one are outdated. You can clearly tell because of the arizona dot. That's been blue since 2018. This is at least 4yo.

Ugh I hate the distorted maps... Makes it look like some disease. Anyone have one that shows all the counties in varying shades of purple?

Cities are where the jobs are located. Many major universities are in rural areas.

It's why orange in chief loves "the uneducated". It also highlights the decades of underfunded public education.
Maverickaura
we know this, they know it to. their explanation is that universities are home to Marxist indoctrination.
catrov
They already defined Marxism as anything that denies "Might Makes Right" and "Richness means Goodness" so, sure - universities are Marxist.

I have lived in Arizona for decades. I am well familiar with Phoenix. I just thought that it was too close to the border.

They like to pretend they have more supporters than they do, but there are more people in blue states than in red...
BallsMcCracken
But there are more red states than blue...
hollywilsonpregler9000
Another fun fact. 51% of the USA leans Democratic, while only 42% lean Republican.
IPlayWithFire
But the blue areas contain 80 % of the people. Keep in mind blue dots do contain some very outnumbered red voters & reverse is true of red
PantherMedic
Lol congrats on being the exact thing this post is laughing at.
zanaria
Doesnt matter, a state cant vote, the people do. If 2 states had 5 people and 1 state had 1mil and all 5 people in those 2 states voted /1
zanaria
GOP then those 2 states would be red, if the 1mil voted for Dem then that 1 state would be blue. 10 vs 1mil
TheInternetShouldHaveAClosingTimeSoICouldSleep
Also blue states bring home the bacon
zanaria
Yeah, since the GOP hates the gov so much just remove them from the US and cut all funding to red states, let them handle themselves
TheInternetShouldHaveAClosingTimeSoICouldSleep
Just ask Kansas how well the GOP ideology works in practice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment

Tax breaks can work for stimulating the economy when given to poor people, because they spend money on things, rich people dont

We’re just making up our own realities huh? In mine Trump wasn’t even president. It was Obama in a skin suit so he could run again.

what exactly is a Qanon sound byte?
Rokin123
“Biden is a pedo” and “Trump was sent by God to save the country” and “Wait and see/two weeks” so on and so on
lbargomancer
[autistic screeching]
lbargomancer
...On second thought, no, that's wholly inaccurate, as an autistic person screeching is clearly communicating that they lack the words >
lbargomancer
QAnon sound bytes are the verbal equivalent of noisily fouling one's vicinity from both ends.

California has more population than Canada.

Almost twice the GDP as well. If Cali were a nation, it'd be a big player on the world stage, by itself

What's with the quotation marks though?

Perhaps because there’s North, Central, and South America? So technically there’s about 1 billion ‘Americans’

Fun related fact: that is exactly why the founding fathers devised the electoral college.

It made a lot more sense when New York was 80,000 people and the country was a thin, even coating of farms.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
Fun fact: Now it means folks in WY have more voting power than friends in CA
dea5252
Yes by design, CA and WV are vastly different. It's to prevent CA and NY from making decisions for the entire country based on population.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
In exchange we have rural, low population states making decisions for the entire country, sounds *totally* fair

Well that and to preserve slavery and southern influence

Seems few of those history-revising trumpets who complain about revisionist history didn't like my comment. Too bad I'm a literal historian
bonetonelord
The Electoral College and the Senate were explicitly designed to prevent the people from actually running the country.
dadtheinhaler
I think the Senate is a bit of genius myself.
bonetonelord
Don't take it from me, take it from James Madison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate#History
chine
is it though? Electoral votes were pinned to house representatives, which were pinned to population until 1929
SpaceSphere
This is why I believe we need to increase the size of the Electorial College to match if the number of reps would be if not capped
dyskordian
No. Just increase the House, like its supposed to be.

The Metropolitan area is like 20m people, so we can pump them numbers up

New Jersey isn't New York.

That's why I said Metropolitan area. Functionally, large parts of it are the same city. It's the same with most major global cities
