And those states voted to make the rest of us as poor as they are and give everything to a king. They lose but so do the rest of us. They are also the states lowest in IQ.
Trick the people with all the guns and nothing to lose and they might just use those guns when they watch their children and families start to starve to death….. It would be a severe error for president musk to cut their funding while they have lots of bullets, no hope, and nothing to lose.
Almost 4% of NM poverty is due to its 12% indigenous population, with a poverty rate of 34%. About 30% of the state are in rural areas. Very different from all the red states here.
Puerto Rico, where Trump took a $34M tax credit, only to claim bankruptcy soon after, voted overwhelmingly for Kamala in a non-binding presidential vote… but also voted for a Republican governor, the leader of our VERY corrupt pro-statehood party. She consented to the paper towels -total brownnoser.
Right to fire, low pay minimum wage, poor infrastructure,minimal funding for schools, public health,& social services.
Wealthy tax havens, Lax environmental oversight.
Republicans have been sucking slop from government trough funded by Blue States since Roosevelt.
Time to share the Donor wealth.
We saw exactly the same thing in the UK, where the areas that were most affected by cuts made by the tory government in the early 2010s then voted for Brexit in 2016, and then the tories in 2019. People seem to take a long time to realise who is actually hurting them.
Unfortunately true, but enough did last year to give us a government now which is imperfect but is at least serious and not primarily focused on enriching themselves and their friends.
Let them wither. Not worth the effort of saving. Cancer can't be reformed into healthy cells once it's become cancer. I get that it's harsh but they have no sympathy for anyone else, feel none in return.
All these states should be mobilising to vote Democrat.
That they are (mostly) not is why the Democrats should be asking themselves: what the fuck do they stand for?
Which trends with those states also being the worst in education. So you gotta give it to the Republicans, they know how to keep their people voting for stupid.
Largely native population. Very poor state overall.
Highest rate of PhDs per capita due to Los Alamos*. Free college. Trying hard to provide health care and food for all. But so, so many small native villages. So many born into the squalor of being indigenous in this country.
My dad lives in NM. A few larger cities. But vast stretches of nothing with tiny villages in between. And the rez. You also have a large Hispanic community who are more likely to be economically depressed due to being immigrants, migrants, etc.
*Obligatory reminder that Los Alamos was populated when the US government imminent domained the land from under the Native’s feet, slaughtered their herds, and forced them to move or work with hazardous materials. An unpopulated wasteland, my ass.
Yeah, the difference is that liberals are ok with paying taxes to help the poor even if they voted against us. Republicans want anyone who doesn’t vote for them to be deported.
The reason that New Mexico is on this list is not because of democratic policy but because it has always been majority Hispanic (since before statehood) and with large Native American populations who still live on their ancestral land and the US government systematically underfunds the state.
That and laziness. "Muh grandaddy and muh daddy voted republkican, so I am too." What do you think about their policies hurting you? "Ah don't pay no 'tention to politicks?"
See a pattern here? Red states have not been able to figure out how to manage without free enslaved labor after more than a century & a half. Year after year, the stats are the same. Why don't Democrats challenge them on this? Such easy talking points. So little imagination.
They vote the way they do because someone has told them it’s not their fault, the nasty city folk have does this to them or those evil immigrants. The magic wand will come down and they’ll all be millionaires.
rural voters love voting against their own interests. Who needs healthcare, infrastructure, or decent wages when you can have guns, God, and grievances? Keep blaming immigrants, worshipping billionaires, and cheering for policies that keep you broke—because “owning the libs” is way more important!
The only reason Texas isn’t in there is all the sleazy Silicon Valley crypto cultists clogging up the cities, chasing handouts, from the #nazirepublicans and looking for the next big cyber scam

Ripe for protest votes
Trick the people with all the guns & nothing to lose to vote for being killed off & all you’ll have left is liberals & their paper straws.
If we don’t drop our paper straws & do something, we’re fucked.
While Trump issues blustery pronouncements about Gaza, President Musk is quietly dismantling our nation’s safety net.
Sooner or later reality will take hold and they will be worse off.
Some may even see tRump for what he truly is.
