Red States are shithole states. Rightists in Red States live like vermin.

Red states tend to have lower life expectancies compared to blue states,
often due to factors like poverty and health care access. Additionally, many red states are more dependent on federal funding, receiving more in federal aid than they contribute in taxes.

Life Expectancy in Red States

Red states generally have lower life expectancies compared to blue states. This trend is influenced by several factors:
Key Factors Affecting Life Expectancy

Poverty Rates: Red states often have higher poverty rates, which
correlate with lower life expectancy.
Health Care Access: Residents in red states typically have less access to quality health care, contributing to poorer health outcomes.
Education Levels: Lower education levels in red states are linked to shorter life spans, as education is a significant predictor of health and longevity.

Life Expectancy Comparison
State Type Average Life Expectancy
Blue States (e.g., New York, California) 77.7 - 79 years
Red States (e.g., Mississippi, Louisiana) 71.9 - 73.1 years
Federal Dependency of Red States

State Revenue: A significant portion of revenue in red states comes from federal sources, indicating a reliance on federal support for their budgets. --- Synchronet 3.21f-FreeBSD NewsLink 1.2

EXCLUSIVE: 5.4 Million People Have Migrated To Pro-Trump Counties Since 2020 As The Great Divorce Continues

I & I Editorial Board

The past five years have seen a massive migration of Americans out of heavily Democratic counties and into ones where Donald Trump won majorities in each of the past three elections. That's according to an exclusive analysis by Issues & Insights of the latest Census Bureau and election data.

Most analyses of internal migration patterns look only at state-level data. And what they show is that blue states are losing population to red states, and have
been for many years.

I&I wanted to go deeper, so we used the latest Census data on migration between counties, and compared that with how these counties voted in the past three presidential elections.

What we found was that millions aren't just moving out of blue states, but are moving out of blue counties within states....
