This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

So this is just binary red/blue? Seems iffy given how diverse states are (eg there are about as many Republican voters in "blue" California or in "red" Florida because California is way larger). I wonder what this would look like at the county level...
Comparing states without county-level resolution is mostly useless. Had several people a few threads ago say Illinois is progressive. No, Chicagoland is progressive, rest of the state is almost all red.
This is how to view red vs. blue America.
These maps are totally misleading as all that red area is just mostly uninhabited, empty land.
I know, these are largely population maps, but they go to show that even Mississippians are plenty blue, they're just outnumbered.
Florida is less deep red than I would have expected.
There’s a ton of snowbirds from New England there.
