Trumpers unwillingness to accept the truth about the election explains why they live in areas...

that struggle economically. The two are tied together.

We're living in an era of capitalism that does not need armies of laborers to amass profits for the owners. How many employees did Henry Ford have to become filthy rich vs. how many employees does Mark Zuckerberg have to become filthy rich. Companies need less employees, but what they do need are smarter employees. In this stage of capitalism, the better paying jobs need workers who can think critically, take in information, and solve problems.

If all you want is your world view confirmed and any evidence to the contrary be dismissed, then, in general, you will have a difficult time finding success in today's economy.

You will be left behind, and blaming the Democrats for "not reaching out" is not the answer either.

1. You would shocked at the number of engineers who vote for Trump

Most of them at my work have Masters degrees, and they are very intelligent. Some can also quote large sections of the Constitution.

2. Do they believe that Biden won?

I can see smart people supporting Trump for various reasons, but do they not accept the truth about the results of the election?

[exboyfil]

4. I haven't asked them

but they would probably say there was massive absentee voter fraud. I don't buy it of course.

10. May I ask where do you work?

A large metro area? Or one of the rural counties?

11. A fairly affluent smaller city next to a somewhat larger one

I work at a very large manufacturing company.

5. That's the trouble,

they don't believe Biden won. They instead believe all the nonsense they read and hear about election fraud.

9. The engineer in the office next to me thinks trump won

He tried to tell a coworker that the Democrats are all cheaters. I have put up with his bloviating shit for several years. If he tries to say those things to me I will tell him to fuck right off. I am out of f’s to give.

8. Maybe Low Taxes and Reduced Regulations...

..or 2nd Amendment. I'm in a RED state...Trump won 2 to 1. Beats me...

3. Rural areas

Have a lot of poor people and a few rich people. They are not all poor, it is the division if wealth.

6. Overall Trump Supporters are Wealthier than Biden supporters

[Yavin4]

7. Most rich people vote Republican. That's to be expected.

However, the areas of the country that voted for Trump perform worse than the areas of the country that voted for Biden.

12. Hmmm. How about FL? Hardly a black hole economically

and yet -- plenty of Trumpanzies! The thing is -- there just isn't any great correlation between cultism -- and either affluence, or lower IQ and education. (look at Scientology, or Nxivm)

13. The video at the link lends credence to my OP.

Basically, states with growing high tech areas trend Liberal/Democrat. That's because high tech draws diverse workers.

14. +1000

Very interesting video.

15. I live in a place where trumpers are STILL driving around town w their ridiculous flags and are
