seeing a bit of a trend here …

  • Arizona – purple
  • Kansas – purple
  • Lousiana – red
  • Missouri – red
  • Tennessee – red
  • Arkansas – red
  • Oklahoma – red
  • Alabama – red
  • Indiana – red
  • Texas – red

Causality could be either or both ways here.

  1. Red states are red because they suck - unhappy people are more easily convinced to vote for conservative hucksters

  2. Red states suck because they are red - conservative policies just suck for people

I think it’s 75% 2, 25% 1.
