      Decade that a county peaked in population:

      So thats a pretty good correllation, eyeballing it, its basically the areas that haven’t had any real economic growth in decades, and are overwhelming populated by old people, and of course generally de facto have low populations.

      If a population peaked in decade x, well, its been shrinking since then.

      They are the past, lashing out violently as the light dims… they were never able to figure out why everything sucks for them now.

      I’d bet you could make this a better corellation if you did ‘decade that white population peaked’.

      And then even better if you also did ‘decade that white, non college educated population peaked.’

      Dumb, dying, racist failures.

      Doesn’t seem like it,

      population map by county 2024

      There is a high visual correlation I some places but others like Kentucky and West Virginia have high votes and population.

        Well West Virginia is a bitter disappointment of a state.

        Sid Hatfield would be rolling in his grave if he saw how cucked and anti union they’ve become

        That’s the fucking poverty map of the country not the population map you idiot.

        You’re basically showing that people from the areas that voted for Trump are poor, which isn’t surprising because poor people are generally uneducated

          Without looking it up, I’d guess that the worst is the county that is just the Pine Ridge reservation, in which case the fault is more the federal government than the state, though I’m sure South Dakota isnt helping.

          Crazy to kick people off their land they own by treaty and force them into lands that we literally call “the badlands” because of how the land isnt useful for anything that makes money or food.

            I’m not going to pretend Canada is much better

            It’s very sad what we did to the native peoples on this continent. We should be more ashamed than we are.
