Subject: Re: Why All The Putz Nominations?
To Normies, this isn't acceptable.

Just to be clear the term "normies" refers to members of the Trump Cult, correct?
So when we see that term we are talking about folks who are low/uneducated, low-income/poor, low information voters who tend to live shorter lives?
OK cool, got it...glad I'm not a "normie"...

Blue States have higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.

Blue States are less dependent on federal government assistance. States with higher per capita GDP (often blue states) tend to be less reliant on federal funding.
I.E. Blue States contribute more in federal taxes than they receive back in federal spending, effectively subsidizing red states (ie "normies"). (Liberals financially supporting MAGAs.)

Blue States have lower rates of poverty compared to red state "normies".

Blue States invest more in infrastructure, leading to better roads and public transportation systems.

And...
Folks in Blue States live longer...
"A growing mortality gap between Republican and Democratic areas may largely stem from policy choices."
"People in Republican Counties Have Higher Death Rates Than Those in Democratic Counties."
"It joins an already existing, pretty robust literature showing that politics do have life-and-death consequences."
"The U.S. mortality rate has decreased since 2001. But the improvement for those living in "normie" Republican counties was half that of those in Democratic counties 11 percent lower versus 22 percent lower.

And...
Murder rates are consistently higher in "normie" Red States compared to Blue States.
In 2021 and 2022, murder rates in Red States were 33% higher than in Blue States.
Contributing factors: Higher gun ownership rates in red states, Higher poverty rates in red states, Lower educational attainment in the "normie" Red States.

And...
Folks in Blue States are better educated...
"Blue states outpace red states by 5.3 percentage points in 4-year college degree attainment."
"All of the top 15 most college-educated states are blue, while only 3 of the bottom 15 are blue."
