Yeah I got to that part and remembered the meme “See all that red area? That’s sand.”
I get that it’s tough to find a point of view for trump supporters that isn’t racism or hate or idiocy, but . . . I dunno. voter maps aren’t that useful. We’re not talking about an average politician here - some interchangable figure who could have been active between 1950 and 2020. This guy is objectively a demented rapist fraud who tried to overthrow the government to stay in power.
Yup. Digging the county by county stuff too.
Here’s my state for 2020:
You see those three GIANT counties in SE Oregon?
Left to right that’s Lake, Harney and Malheur county.
Ruby Red. Here’s how they voted in 2020:
Lake - Biden - 792 - 18.15% Trump - 3,470 - 79.53%
Harney - Biden - 894 - 19.95% Trump - 3,475 - 77.55%
Malheur - Biden - 3,260 - 27.62% Trump - 8,187 - 69.36%
Sorry guys, square miles and cattle don’t get a vote.
You see that tiny little sliver of a blue county next to the panhandle? That’s Multnomah county. I.E. “Portland” or “where the people live”.
Multnomah - Biden - 367,249 - 79.21% Trump - 82,995 - 17.90%

Those aren’t rural concerns, afaik.
