You also know the stat that those who are younger, single or married with no kids, and live in cities tend to be more liberal, whereas those who are in their 30s or older, married with children, and don't live in the big cities tend to vote conservative. So, in other words, those who are still self-centered and trying to live for themselves vote one way, and those who are productive members of society tend to vote the other way ...
Of note is the rapid rise in Republican voters as the age increases. Extremely hypocritical. The >65 crowd has the highest voter turnout voting Republican yet take the most from the government in the form of social security and medical coverage. Calling the under 30 crowd moochers, compared to them, is insanely hypocritical.
Rank the top 10 states by median income and 9/10 voted Democrat (mostly the NE and CA). Rank the
bottom 10 states by median income and 9/10 voted Republican (mostly the South). The conservative base clings to the uneducated, poor, and religious.
