Every dollar spent is not equal. In some cities like NYC or SF, it will buy you far less - and in other places, a dollar has much more buying power.www.visualcapitalist.com

The idiocy rate among Trump voters is through the roof. These people are so stupid, they can be convinced of ANYTHING, including the bilge I quoted above. They consistently blame the poor for being poor despite government labour and tax laws which are designed to enrich the wealthy and subjugate workers.
Poverty isn't "finance by liberal social policies". Poverty is inflicted on these people in red states by state governments which believe workers are stupid and lazy. Their schools are underfinanced and don't provide a good education. The minimum wage is too low,, and they're mostly "right to work" states.
There are no state funded social programs, so they have even less income and resources that blue states provide.
