TIL most US corn is Republican

The second highest on this map, illinois, is a Dem state

To be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 11 points 3 months ago

Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.

Never been to Chicagoland? Every empty field is filled in with corn. Smash a gas station flat? Now it's a cornfield.

Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don't like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.

Every state would be a red state without the major cities.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Except Massachusetts apparently.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Only because of Chicago & C(r)ook County. Virtually the rest of Illinois is red.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yup, and Michigan and Wisconsin are swing states. It’s still the vast majority.

still majority yes, but also minnesota is a solid blue state. It’s maybe like a 75/25 split which isn’t that radical.

In fact, of the yellows, there are 3 Democratic, 2 Swing States, and 5 Republican.

I only found Minnesota and Illinois as consistently Democratic voting states. What’s the third?

Edit: I just saw Delaware.

How does Nebraska factor? Last election they were 2 votes blue three votes red.
