A review by the Wall Street Journal finds that, excluding Alaska, of the 1,986 counties/Louisiana parishes in the other 49 states in which Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, food stamps, the earned income tax credit, veterans benefits, Pell grants, Covid-era payments, and other support account for 25 percent or more of the total personal income, 1,746 of these counties voted for convicted felon former President Trump in the 2020 election to just 240 for Joe Biden. This was up from 2016 when 169 such counties voted for Hillary to 1,276 for Trump.
So yeah, it’s not surprising that a party always bitching about “socialism” and led by a demented con artist who hawks $100,000 gold watches and $99 collector’s coins and NFTs where he’s dressed as Elvis relies on voters reliant on the public dole. Nobody’s surprised about that anymore.
