Should Republicans Fix the Problems in Massively Red States?

The sad truth is that most voters in “red states” don’t believe that there’s anything that needs “fixing” in their lives, and that goes double if the people proposing to do that fixing are the “radical leftists” in Washington.

It’s true that folks from the heavily Trump-dominated states in the South and Midwest are at the bottom of the rankings in terms of things that most people around the world hold valuable.  Don’t most of us like good health, education, and economic opportunities?  Do we really like to be sick, ignorant, and poor?

The only inference I can draw is that people like to be right, and they hate being wrong.

Heap on top of that the influence of evangelical Christianity, and nobody really cares who’s dying young, and living in abject ignorance.
