    Hardly anyone lives in those areas though. And the cities in those states are still really blue/left.

      I mean that’s the case in nearly every state. Cities mostly lean blue, rural areas red

        Yeah but Wyoming has like half a million people in total, the Denver metropolitan area has over 3 million alone, and plenty of the rural places are blue or not red anyway.

        They’d have no chance if the left took up arms at equal rates (I know, it’s a dangerous assumption). It’s also why our congressional representation is so fucked up.
