Have you taken a look at the map of how the red voting followed the Appalachian mountains this month? Ever looked at a breakdown of which states give the most in taxes and which take the most in benefits?
I think you're laboring under the falsehood that most poor in America are what you'd codeword "Urban". I believe that most of the poor are out in what you'd codeword "Real America". Those folks vote as red as what their hair ain't long enough to cover.
