edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

    Reminder that most states, while the majority may have gone for one candidate or the other, were still mostly under a 60/40 split

    The States with the most landslide victory for trump where all northern states, Wyoming, West Virginia, and North Dakota, and even those were just 70/30 splits.

    Thats many people who did not want this president. The South is not some unanimous bloc

      Sometimes seeing the numbers is the most meaningful! Even in a 70/30 state that’s still 3 in 10 people who didn’t ask for this—maybe more if, as is sometimes found, Democrats gain more votes when polls become more accessible.

      Thanks for sharing!
