<p>Interesting to look at the above cartogram to see how the
red/blue and population density distribution "distorts" our
country geospatially... <br>
</p>
<p>All the "coastlines" get stretched while the "natural resource"
expanses get shrunk. <br>

<br>
I just did a quick, and therefore not 100% accurate, count of
the population of states supporting trump: more or less 75
million. If that was the sole source of his support, then 90%
of the population of those states — not just voters — would
have to vote trump to account for his 68 million votes.<br>
<br>
Yes, flyover country is sparsely populated (in comparison) and
yes, they supported trump, but, just like biden, most of his
support had to come from urban areas.<br>
