Would the U.S. be happier split along polarization lines?

You are accusing poor black democrats in the south of being parasites? How offensive of you. You're such a bigoted racist. You should be ashamed.

Seriously though, just because a state is red does not mean it contains 100% republicans, nor does it say anything about what portion of what political group consumes government handouts. All that proves is that the democrats who live in red states take more benefits from republicans than democrats who live in blue states take from other democrats.

Yeah, trailer parks are huge liberal havens.

I agree! I'm mostly just messing with him because he said something ridiculous.

Yeah it is pretty ridiculous that you so horribly confuse cause and effect, it's quite hilarious really. I mean honestly, thinking that big urban centers are rich because they are democrat, when in reality it is that democrats are attracted to wealth and productivity of big cities to parasite off of. Not to worry though, I'm just messing with ya too

Well you you could just stick your head out the window, ask your neighbors, and find out

Actually, rural areas tend to be the areas with the highest proportion of their populations on government assistance.

Rural areas also tend to be more Republican.

Any of these facts making a dent in your assumptions at all?

And your point would be what exactly? Do you not understand why he was posting that info?

It's a matter of putting things into perspective. A state that has 50% more population than any other state is bound to be #1 in quite a few things. It's the equivalent of saying China is #1 is food consumption.

That's great! Thanks for the unrelated factoid
