You do realize that over half the country leans left/center left right?
Freeloaders tend to support politicians who give them free shiat.
Projecting from personal experience I assume? Since most red state are on the government teat?
Projecting from personal experience I assume? Since most people on welfare lean right after all.
Amusing... what exactly is counted as "Federal Aid". Do they count military spending as "Federal Aid" - what about agriculture money? What else is magically on the list to generate fabricated diagrams like the one above.
Once again, let's look at the truth about Blue and Red states...
The concept that 'red' states are the 'moochers' is absurd. Let's eliminate military base spending, farm subsidies, and other non-welfare federal spending from the accounting.
The red states do not really want the military bases that were forced on them. These bases take up large tracts of land that are useful for other economic purposes and require local money spent on policing & other services because they tend to be high crime / low income areas. Let's put a large military base in NYC or Boston - and bulldoze all the existing homes. The displaced residents can survive on the 80%+ of large farm subsidies that are sent to the owners of corporate farms who reside in blue states (but is seen as red state money for some reason).
Let's focus on federal welfare spending--defined here as childhood nutrition programs, food stamp programs, WIC benefits TANF benefits, and other similar benefits.
This article from USA Today "New Yorkers lead pack in government benefits" compiled data showing which states had the highest per capita expenditures for every type of government-provided benefit and blue states top the list and red states made up most of the bottom 10.

43 Wyoming
44 Idaho
45 Georgia
46 Texas
47 Nevada

relax; 'twas a counter-jab at your freeloading comment. Amusing it got you to type all that though..
What is center left right?
Poor choice of words.That is because of all of the sheeple libtards in Manhattan, LA, San Francisco and Chicago.
If the votes of just Manhattan and Los Angeles are removed, Trump won the popular vote. That is why the electoral college is necessary. It would not be fair for two cities to decide the President every election.
