Because col is high. Combination of lots of people and poverty = crime. Why do people flee places like WV? |
+1 But even in red states like TX, the big urban areas where most of the high paying jobs are located are blue - Austin, Houstin, Dallas. |
wv is probably one of the poorest states. Is it one of the higher crime states ? |
Read carefully. WV does, however, have a high rate of opium use and overdose. |
detroit has been Democrat forever and barely half the adult population is functionally literate |
ok, thanks for the jeopardy question. And? Name one urban metro area with lots of educated people and high paying jobs that doesn't vote blue? |
Yup. The "taxation without representation" is truly about NW DC. SW would be "totalitarian local control with little taxation" |
|
Wow, conservatives are so whiny. Go ahead and break away - you won't be able to redistribute tax collections from blue areas to yourself!
Enjoy your Kansas-like existence. |

Last paragraph: Statewide, drug overdoses have increased 55 percent since 2013. Most overdose deaths involve two or more drugs. West Virginia has the highest overdose death rate in the nation. |
10 of the 11 states with the lowest crime rates are totally blue. https://www.statista.com/statistics/301549/us-crimes-committed-state/ |
| Please do, so we cam stop redistributing blue wealth to red counties/states. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.... |
Uhhh plenty of locals call the metro DC area the DMV. You must be old and white. |
| If conservatives could break away, ti wouldn't be too long before liberals moved to the area for lower taxes and better cost of living and then promptly set about voting in politicians who would turn it into a liberal hell hole. |
Well, you got only two out of the four correct but I can tell you they can all spell hypocritical. |
