    Yes, because decades of gerrymandering, voter suppression, lobbying, political corruption and misinformation campaigns directed toward one of the most educationally underserved states has absolutely no effect on elections.

    What you are doing is usually termed victim blaming, so careful.

      Be careful? Ease off the drama my man.

      77 percent voter turnout and 51 percent voted for Trump. At some point it just becomes a matter of infantalizing people.

          Sadly technically not true! Look into climate gentrification. Because the housing market is prospective in nature, lower-socioeconomic communities at higher elevations more secure from climate change are being displaced by higher costs of living. It’s quite sad and just one part of the iceberg’s tip. :(
