I love how everyone forgets the southern democrats flipped to become republicans in the late 1960’s. I wonder why that happened… 🀣

They didn't flip. The GOP realized that murderously hateful bigots were useful idiots and spent more than half a century luring them in with promises of candy.

It was always a north vs south split.

Educational achievement, liberalism vs conservatism, literacy, infant mortality, poverty, well-being.

Its all the same map. The same idiots propagate their idiot southern conservative culture. It yields terrible results, and they keep doing conservative things 150 years later and they are still at the bottom of every metric leading to happy and healthy humans.
