Top 21 states Covid cases per million. 20 red states.

Last edited Thu Sep 16, 2021, 09:52 AM - Edit history (2)

Go to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ and click on cases per million to get the top states. The only blue state out of the top 21 states is Rhode Island, but they have a Republican governor [edit, not true. I thought it was Lincoln Chafee]. The only red state with a Democratic governor (to my knowledge) is Louisiana.

Nevertheless, you have 20 out of 21 red states. Hmm. Maybe there's a pattern.

How in the fuck do they elect a Democratic Governor, but 2 of the Biggest ASSHOLES for Senators, and by a wide margin each time.

I guess they keep electing Turtle, so they can make their insignificant state feel important, having someone in a leadership position. But what about Rand the Dipshit?

Honestly, I don't understand it. Same with LA and KS.

And in close proximity to NY. I’m not sure how they ended up with a rep gov. I think the former dem gov took a cabinet post.
