      In case you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted, it’s because you didn’t even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

      I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

      You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.

        You really didn’t have to throw in the “seem to be intelligent” part but that very conscientious of you.

        I’ll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.
