Not being from American I can say my perspective is this:
Red States: Kind scared but for the most part a lot smarter than most people think.
Blue States: Egotistical dipshits who think the sun rises and sets on their own egos with no more perspective than the tofu they sprinkle in their organic salads. Overly judgmental closet racists who about as close to enforcing Nazi ideology as America has ever seen. “Think like us or else” should the the democratic party supporters motto. If it isn’t already.
This picture is pure failure. It would kill at a Starbucks.
This image is th truth, middle America is too much cut off from the rest of the world to know what direction is even up anymore. they still have Klan rallies out there in the red areas. LOL
@magnus…. Unfortunately your flaw is that the “Think like us or else†was the Republican reasons for us invading Iraq ya big dummy. And what;s wrong with eating healthy? Not sure what part of the world you come from but it seems full of hate and ego actually.
Umm yeah… I’m not American either but I don’t think you make a jot of sense. But I do know you are a wee bit of a troll so have fun.

Interesting. Most maps usually forget that NM is one of the fifty, but this one Arkansas gets to hide…And mAngUS is dead bang on for Santa Fe and Taos. Rest of NM? Trucks, guns, dogs, beef, and a whole lot of open space between neighbors.
@...SKILLERWHALE: Hate to tell you, but teh google says klan rallies and meetings are held in pretty much every state. Not just in the south. Also, though i’m not surprised since pretty much everyone is a wingnut dickwad now days who thinks the other side sucks no matter what and can’t see past your own political beliefs, but, I just wanna know wtf happened to arkansas. 😛 It’s conveniently missing from both maps.
@SKILLERWHALE: Well, magnus pegged you squarely. And go back and look at the vote to invade, it was overwhelmingly FOR (including many Dems). And your vast generalization of klan rallies is offensive. Prove that the red areas still have them (and proving some doesn’t mean all have it).
Wait…what’s that noise? Oh, it’s not the Republicans whining about stolen elections.
You should actually look at the maps by county because THOSE make more sense. This wasn’t a clear cut and divided election. The MOST any candidate got in any state was ~60% and that’s not enough to write off the whole state. I live in NY and up here it was the suburbanites from Staten Island who were the only burough to go to McCain. Considering it’s mostly people in the over 250k income bracket, I’m not shocked.
My mom lives in TX and her city (as well as ALL the big cities) went for Obama. The fact is, when you look at teh maps by county you will see that every MAJOR city went for Obama, but it was all the rural counties and people who live in the suburbs that voted for McCain.
Anyway, Obama won. Don’t keep up this whole redstate v. blue state bull shit because now you not only do you look like sore losers for the last 8 years, but now you look like sore winners as well. Get over yourself. Everyone I know back home in Houston and San Antonio voted for Obama; it’s not their fault that a bunch of rednecks on the Alabama side of TX voted for McCain.
Not any more that the morons of CA who passed Prop 8 should get any credit for voting for Obama, because in most cases, they aren’t the same people.

Arkansas actually broke off to form its own country. possible names tossed around by locals included fuckingmycousinastan, BigRock, Amerikey, illiterateville, Inbredland, but finally settled on Kansas.
@CathyLong-It would be a better picture. When we got our conceal carry, the only counties against the amendment had the metropolitan “liberal” population.
So when does the guvment start payin’ my mortgage and gas bill already?
Anyone with half a brain who’s left their home city would know that just because all a state’s electoral votes go to one candidate doesn’t mean all the people agree 100% with everything the candidate who received those votes believes.
what happened to Arkansas? WHAT HAPPENED TO ARKANSAS?!?!?!?! OHHHH THE HUMANITY!!!!

… Isn’t the freaking point of the damn country that there are two parties and we have a CHOICE of who to elect? “Dumbfuckistan” is extraordinarily short sited, missing the bigger picture of an election, uneducated, and misinformed. The red states are no more stupid than the blue, just hold different ideals.
This picture is pure fail. If nothing more is an example of that is the fact that titles could easily be switched and make just as many people angry and just as many people defensive. It should have stayed on /b/ where it belongs.
@...Dragyn:
That’s just the opposite of reality I’m afraid. “Dumbfuckistan” IS extraordinarily short side, missing the bigger picture of an election, uneducated and misinformed. Sadly it’s your own conclusions that fail. The red states are dumbfuckistan, and they were inherently more stupid then the blue and definitely hold different ideals.
@...Dragyn: The freaking “point” of our country “was” freedom of speech and freedom of religion… all of the decisions DumbFuckistan make are are based on religion and traditions yet they affect ALL Americans (which really counters the whole freedom of speech/religion all together)… abortion, gay marriage, or In God We Trust on your dollar bill these are the top items on your concern list… you want to host the radical traditionalists as they wave there rebel flags that’s fine but be prepared to fall under the same umbrella term.
Meddling with foreign affairs and regimes then splashing around the blood pool for a decade because we can’t close the deal doesn’t exactly bring tears of fucking joy to anyone especially the second time around ie. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. Meanwhile our economy to no-ones suprise drops at record breakneck speeds as our deficite does the same on ascent.

Yup. I live in Manhattan (I go to K-State). It was fun to see all the anti-Obama stuff around shortly before the election. “Dem dere republikinz were gettin’ scurred!”
I’m an overeducated, latte-drinking, liberal douchebag and even I disagree with the picture. Just because someone disagrees with me doesn’t mean they’re an idiot and just because a state voted for a candidate I didn’t like doesn’t mean the whole state is full of dumbfucks.
@...Dublin0: “all of the decisions DumbFuckistan make are are based on religion and traditions yet they affect ALL Americans (which really counters the whole freedom of speech/religion all together)… abortion, gay marriage, or In God We Trust”
And yet two of the states in America that went to Obama banned gay marriage at the same time, California and Florida. So, maybe there isn’t such a clear delineation between states as this map would lead you to believe?
Nah, fuck it! Obviously anyone who lives in a state where the electoral votes went to McCain is a backwater, gun-toting, science-hating, redneck, close-minded, condescending Evangelical dumbfuck, and anyone who lives in a state where the electoral votes went to Obama is a forward-thinking, open-minded, free-thinking American, and hooray for them!
Seriously, people. There are dumbfucks in every state, every city, every party, and on every side of the debate. Protip: if you agree with the map above, you’re one of those dumbfucks.
How about “fucking asswipes who think they are better than everybody else and the rest of us”?
I love the way people scream for tolerance and then bitch, moan and protest agains those who make a choice that opposes their own views.
@...Kishi: 1000 internets to you for “There are dumbfucks in every state, every city, every party, and on every side of the debate. Protip: if you agree with the map above, you’re one of those dumbfucks.”
You already got your reparations. We just made monthly installments called walefare. Turns out we over paid. Now you owe us $180,000,000,000,000. I rounded the change down.
@...Kishi: Do you know where Obama stands on gay Marriage… and yes I understand that the Murrika states had a majority of Dumb Fucks who came out and voted, thanks for not going technical… sorry if you live in Murrika guys I didn’t mean you if your not retarded by Umbrella term I meant the right side not Murrika by hosting… think about the issues the right side caters too, should have been allot more specific I guess… here’s some perspective www.statestats.com/edrank.htm
ya, so I’m from TN. There’s a lot of stupid hicks around here. I’m not one of them. Still though, I thought this picture was funny.
Why are people from other countries arguing about this shit, like they even know?
this picture is either supposed to be funny… or not. Just laugh, or don’t, mark it WIN or FAIL and move the fuck on. Not every fucking picture has to start a debate. You sheep
@...Dublin0: I’m well aware of the stance of Obama’s administration on gay marriage- during the VP debates, when Biden said he opposed gay marriage, that was pretty disappointing. And that’s a fair part of why I’m not a Democrat. If they really cared about minorities and equal rights as much as they say they do, they would be vocal on their support of gay marriage.
But you were the one who brought up the “gay marriage = crimes of Red States” thing, not me.
@...Dublin0: And what is your link supposed to be illustrating? If you look, 6 of the bottom 12 states on the list went to Obama, 6 went to McCain. So, I guess that really just supports my idea that there are dumbfucks on both sides.
@...Kishi: I’m a registered republican (gotta work on that) I was aiming at the right, again not the states the right, may have been misdirected in retrospect and yes there are dumb fucks on both sides Red & Blue, Repub & Dems, Me & You

“suburbanites from Staten Island who were the only borough…”
Read the WHOLE sentence. I know it’s a borough, made of people who live in and are mentally a “suburb” of the real world.
Point is still valid: NOT EVERYONE IN NY VOTED OBAMA and NOT EVERYONE IN TX VOTED MCCAIN.
These are huge states and they both went about 60/40. So give ‘credit’ where it’s due, but don’t go around assuming everyone from a certain state is any “better” than anyone else based on how their electorate voted.
