    • he lost the popular vote by 2%monospaced
    • Let it sink in, and let it burn, that this is really the only form of data display that this dumbass can possibly semi comprehend.mg33
    • So maybe 15% of the country (blue) holds 50% of the population... That doesn't seem correct unless most of the US is empty, no wonder Trump won.robotron3k
    • It is absolutely correct that a small portion of the country has the most people. NYC is 2.5% of the population alone. CA is easily 10% by itself.monospaced
    • Most of the US IS empty. The most empty parts are populated by the most ignorant, least educated, and poorest people in the country. That's who voted for him.monospaced
    • And even then, he LOST the popular vote. Almost every single person living in a real city voted against him and continues to. Those are progressive people.monospaced

    • If you overlay the education and income maps, you'll see that the red votes were from the least educated and poorer states.monospaced
    • If the poor and ignorant won this last election, what about the rich and educated votes over the last 50+ years?! There were some fun ups for surerobotron3k
    • Going up on his cool wall...see_thru
    • What about them, robo? You're talking about politics from decades ago, around civil rights, vietnam and other wars.monospaced
    • Degrees and income are not measures of intelligence. Hell intelligence would question why such few populations with many ppl seem to lean a certain waydeathboy
    • Are those major cities beacons where people want to go to, or are they shedding population through backwards thinking?deathboy
    • Can large cities overcome tribalistic instincts and homogeny and truely be diverse and free. It seems to not be in our nature.deathboy
    • A minority of tribes seem to think in one direction vs a majority. Yes the minority has numbers, but why so many others not on board?deathboy
    • Why are people leaving the minority blue areas for the red? Just saw Nevada had 2% growth with a huge shift from CAdeathboy
    • the image says a lot. i just don't think people are seeing what it represents. In a nutshell the blue represent you socialistic areas. Free food attracts straydeathboy
    • cats. Gets enough cats to have a lot of numbers but eats at food supplies. Without major gov bailouts u are going to see those areas wither and starvedeathboy
    • one reason so many people left CA, NY, illinois. Look towards the larger samples of separate demos instead of small saturated demos. you find better idea ofdeathboy
    • a general idea of truth. have liberal city folk on every trend following everything they believe they need, vs ignorant non tech person who cares for none ofdeathboy
    • that stuff. just family friends hobbies and time spent. who's ideas and thoughts are his own or not but are only influenced from a small circle around him anddeathboy
    • directly reflect his real experience around him. no global social cause. Only what is relative to him that matters. id trust the majority opinion of smalldeathboy
    • interest over bubble city interests if I had no idea of what the fuck i was talking about. Why i wasnt surprised trump won and why i wont be surprised 2019 willdeathboy
    • be the year to see the bubble pop and try to impeach him out of fear of letting him win a second go because nothing better.deathboy
    • im rambling now. i guess don't take that image as mere land mass, vs numbers. think of it as tribes or teams and basic statistics that a large number similardeathboy
    • thinking groups are more likely correct than the minority. its like want to be a millionaire statdeathboy
    • and again... the people who think they are educated because they paid a shit ton of money for a piece of paper that works as a gold star in Kindegartendeathboy
    • or live in a major city vs those outside with no debt goldstar education drives me insane. Like a down syndrome kid thinking hes smart for having down syndrome.deathboy
    • its not new. part of the process. if one pays a lot for false product they msut beleive in it and hold themselves superior to those who did not regardless ofdeathboy
    • reason. a symptom of the human condition we exploit everyday with advertising. but sucks when ppl cant see the shit they sell anymoredeathboy
    • lo- fucking -l
      another deathboy comment rant      monospaced
    • and yes, the cities are attracting the most educated people, IN DROVES, and the cities are truly diverse and progressive, to answer your first questionsmonospaced
    • mono... your idea of educated is more involuntary serfdom... those educated are more than likely unable to replace a bulb... its saddeathboy
    • Has your debt per individual become positive in your state or at least improved?... ha .. ha...deathboy
    • the idea of the "higher" education system has been systematically reduced to the whims of the minority. not that it was ever necessarydeathboy
    • colleges and hospitals have been 2 major players in debt driven growth that will soon feel the repercussions of reality.deathboy
    • At least hopefully until they try to convince a large populace to do their bidding and gain funds through socialistic ideals.deathboy
    • And as far as diversity goes. You say city is diverse. But you see overall numbers and have to question bias in proximity vs rural and abroad that have lessdeathboy
    • revenue spend. Does "Russians" drive the more diverse rural america to vote a certain way? I dont think so. I think its quite easy to understanddeathboy
    • They have yet to swallow the shit from the city folk and MSM and still has a bit of common sense to realize the bullshit being solddeathboy
    • Again look at Michel de Montaigne for such understandingsdeathboy
    • You’re incredibly off topic. I’m talking about this map and who voted for trump, and why this map shouldn’t be celebrated you dunce.monospaced
    • And trust me. I’m not the one saying cities are diverse. It’s a god damn fact. Same with education and income and skill levels higher there. Just facts.monospaced
    • It’s just a fact that the blue areas are more populated, more educated, diverse and progressive. It’s not an argument. Just basic facts.monospaced
    • It’s not a debate or an argument and there’s not even a discussion of what education type is better. The statistics are concrete.monospaced
