america the purple

America is not red or blue as many of you seem to think. It is clearly, obviously, just shades of purple. Not right, not loft, all in the middle, with a twist of red or a twist of blue. This is really eye-opening, and a brilliant act of visualization and programming.

Enjoy this election map, in shades of purple, by county, not state. Brilliant.

    That’s cool.

    Check this out. Feel free to verify if it’s real or not because I don’t know. But it makes total sense to me.

    This IQ thing is an old lie. It’s completely made up. It curculated some time after the 2000 election. In fact, it came up again at the beginning of this campaign and I think it may be posted somewhere on this site already. It’s totally a lie. Maybe nice for you to believe, but false.

    I thought it might be. Made me laugh though. Wasn’t trying to start anything again (honest, Mike). I am slipping into a state of numb acceptance and moving on…

    I think North America needs redistricting:
