 nice point about abundance.  (just like wild animals) with abundance, beings have less fear & don’t fight as much when there’s enough to go around.  w people, when they feel safe and secure, stress-free, long-term shelter, food…they are more open to kindness.  can be calmer to think better.

but these ~persistently~ red states generally have the worst outcomes in everything…education, divorce, mortality…i dunno many, many others.

they are not as smart…they cannot govern well/have worse cultures…are more racist & misogynistic.  is domestic violence highest in these states?  they are obviously way more racist.  

…so they vote for team racism/misogyny.  that team is trump maga.
