i’ve only ever seen this map in response to the election map and a claim trump won by a landslide. people seem to think more red = lots more votes and forget land doesn’t vote

The point of showing the county maps from the conservative perspective is to imply that significantly more of the country in terms of population is aligned with conservative ideas, when that is not the case as shown with the map above. I’m not trying to prove democrats won, everyone knows they didn’t.

Hmmm that’s certainly not how I, as a conservative, would look at this. My attention is drawn to the massive blue bubbles on the coasts, not the slew of little red bubbles across the south and Midwest. I just don’t really think this map doesn’t anything for anyone lol

Just because you don't understand the map doesn't mean it's useless lmao

The map I provided is supposed to show how the population on aggregate is split, showing that the difference isn’t heavily weighed on either side despite conservatives pretending like they won in some major landslide victory with a country united by Trump lmao.

I understand it. It just doesn’t provide any new or helpful information I don’t think 😃

Oh I wasn’t aware that anyone was trying to say Trump won a landslide victory. He only won by around 2% of the vote right? It’s pretty obvious to anyone who can read that it wasn’t a blow out by any means.

Yes yellow socks, I don’t think the map is helpful or provides any new or useful information. Although I also haven’t seen anyone try to use it to make a point or argue anything so that doesn’t really matter anyways lol

I mean, if you understand what the map is saying, it's obvious as to what it means and why it's a counter to this map, what the OP was responding to.

It's okay, I know reading is hard for some people.

Oh ok you know what when you compare it to that it does have value. I know people use the map you provided for the landslide argument which is so stupid. Just like I said in my earlier comment, people vote. Land and population densities don’t. I mean really neither map is super helpful to argue anything because neither has numbers or percentages assigned so they’re just cool colored in pictures of the US! They’re both incomplete pictures.

Responding to you further is a waste of time. Have a nice night, man.

There we go, was that hard? Yes, Dr. Jordan Peterson, I guess if you REALLY boil it down, neither map is good at making a point because it doesn't have any qualitative data. However if you are familiar with what the map represents, population density is directly correlated to the amount of people that live in a given area. It's not just a "dunk," if that really matters, but it's a counterargument often made to the "look at all the red" argument posited frequently b people who don't understand it

Thanks yellow socks, I appreciate your help. I wasn’t understanding what the argument was to begin with. It all makes sense now though and we’re agreed.
