Democrats are the party of rich, successful people and Republicans are the party of poor, welfare-loving folk

I'd be interested in what happens if you then sub-divide the counties. I.e. if Biden only won each county by 1% it would mean Trump has a huge advantage in GDP.

But then again that just means you're effectively just taking the country's GDP as percent of popular vote and Biden still wins so I guess it doesn't matter.

I thought you hated rich people five minutes ago.

Im pretty sure commutes and suburbs are a thing anyway.

If we took percent of wealth it would get even worse.

Bezos and Gates would just roll over 95% of the Trump base.

It doesnt quite say how it divides the $. The fact that Republicans have higher income should put a nail in this coffin either way.

Republicans are also happier even if they are poorer, whereas Democrats are envious and neurotic.

Happier poor? Mostly christian base who would literally vote for satan if he promised tax cuts..
Also all the angriest people i know are conservatives.

Good point. What I also wonder is where economic activity is registered: at the business site, or at the residency of the people creating it.
So, for example, if a physician has his doctor's office in the city, but resides in the neighboring suburb, will the economic value of his activity go to the inner city county, or to the suburb where he lives?

If it's the former, that would explain the statistic since the urban cores are almost universally Dem strongholds.



The popular vote isnt nearly as lopsided though.





Well-off people prefer the status quo (ante) candidate who promises a return to "normalcy" while those who suffer prefer the great disruptor who promises to shake things up - I am shocked by this pattern, shocked!

Sounds like liberals are just boring and useless then.
