We elect politicians to identify and solve societal problems in their jurisdiction. Those who can't do that we call "failures". Democrats are long-term failures. Name the city, county, state, school board, or House of Congress...if it's run by Democrats the jurisdiction is failing. Democrats are not solving problems, they are creating them.
By all three measures, 9 out of the 10 poorest states voted Republican in the last presidential election. (In fact, they voted Red in the last four elections.) According to the latest Census data, 9 of the 10 states with the lowest per-person income levels were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, Idaho, West Virginia, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma. The Census data also show that 9 of the 10 states with the lowest median household income were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina and Oklahoma. And 9 of the 10 states with the lowest median family income were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana and South Carolina. The only Blue state on each list: New Mexico. By the way, 9 of the 10 states with the highest per-person income voted Blue in the 2012 presidential race: Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Virginia and Washington. The only Red state on the list: Alaska. https://www.politifact.com/9-10-poorest-states-republican/
By your same backwards logic you can say the richest counties in America are blue so Dems are actually successes . See how stupid that sounds... Politicians dont create wealth or poverty, they just feed into it to get elected.
"Consent of the governed", depends on a justice system that punishes fraud(instead of being the fraud). US has a history of shooting its true reformers. Biden won't release 20% of the JFK history. Politicians aim to please because.....
The country under democrats is obviously fucked up. High taxes, insecure borders, skyrocketing inflation, wokeism, bad international image, costs of living..
