Time to address the geographic accounting issue -- when a corporation is "based" in NYC or Delaware then all the GDP contributions from their factories in North Carolina count towards the GDP of the blue counties instead of being properly reflected as actually being created by a red county. Many of these corporations don't even have an office in the states/counties they file paperwork in.
In other words the idea that Clinton won counties consisting of 64% of the GDP is pure nonsense. Let's take a look at where the corporate operations are located rather than where they file paperwork.
Actually according to you the wealth of your blue country is based on world-wide trade with minimal tariffs. The blue states don't actually have factories that produce anything, refineries to create fuel, or farms to provide crops. Therefore wealth of your top 1% and ability to operate your blue nation is very much tied to traditional U.S. military dominance across the globe.
If your blue country wants to maintain its wealth then your top 1 percenters will be demanding an immediate military build-up so they can impose their vision of Yankee "fair trade" upon the world. Without "policing" the world your blue nation would quickly be both starving and fuel deprived with daily riots in the streets from the less fortunate -- looking very much like the socialist utopia Venezuela.
"With the exceptions of the Phoenix, Ariz., and Fort Worth, Texas, areas, and a large part of Long Island, N.Y., Clinton won every large-sized economic county in the country, the researchers found."
Even the big counties in Texas like Houston,Dallas ,Austin and San Antonio voted for Hillary and are blue cities
Yes... and these are also the welfare queen areas in Texas. What's your point.
The Union States GDP has been higher than the confederate states GDP long before we started policing the world and nothing would change
All based on imports and exports --- and on manufacturing in earlier times.
Only by virtue of population density -- just like many northern cities.
