In case you're wondering why you're getting down voted, it's because you didn't even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.
I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.
You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.
You really didn't have to throw in the "seem to be intelligent" part but that very conscientious of you.
I'll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.

I appreciate your input, but I'm not confused. The post and the comments are something I'd expect to see on reddit, mostly pathetic. Not a whole lot of critical thinking, oversimplification of complex topics, drawing conclusions to dunk on the "poorly educated", nevermind the vast differences between the states that could better account for the results being associated in the meme.
Im don't mind the 👎 I'm not here for a W by this crowd.
