    Minnesota is the place where abortion is legal, but it really should be mandatory.

    Oh are you not counting the % that voted or just the mad ones who are vocal about MAGA.

      Even counting all who voted for them, as the voter turnout was 64%. I’m not sure how much of the population 100% would be with that voter registration system the US has (is 100% all registered voters or all that could in theory register), but even if 100% was all the population, it would only be around 35% MAGA voters

        So we should point and be vocal about the apathetic non-voters, who would rather not use a system and ignore it, then get to the streets and change it. At least the average marga voter had the energy and conviction to vote.

  We would also rid ourselves of the biggest social security and welfare leeches in the country so there’s that lol. Don’t forget we all pay for MAGAs stupidity in one way or another it’s a shared burden

      According to USDA 37% of SNAP receipts are white and tend to be in red states so one could make an assumption or two. Of course hard to say for sure without voter data, so impossible to prove any of my incoherent ramblings. Take with grain of salt

        White Americans are a larger share of the population, so the math has to reflect that. Context matters. And if we’re discussing support for low-income Americans, include all major programs: SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, housing assistance…not just selective data points.

        This isn’t about Trumpty dumpty. It’s about getting the numbers right.
