Maryland has become one of the strongest Democratic states in the nation thanks to the highly educated, multicultural, and affluent Washington and (to a lesser extent, altho still significant) Baltimore metros. When I passed through the state earlier this month (passing over the beautiful yet terrifying Chesapeake Bay Bridge), it struck me as one of the most beautiful states on the east coast. Aside from their drivers, it's a wonderful place.

This is quite something...

>educated=Democratic, okey-dokey
>affluent=Democratic, lol, not even in this election!
> Maryland=beautiful - it's no different from any other place on the east coast, save Delaware. There are a few ok parts, but most of it's just an absolute nightmare. Like, I personally like it more than New England, but I don't think I could say more beautiful with a straight face.

I mean, you're entitled to your opinion on the first point, but let's not let our understanding of the 'deplorables' in this election dictate how the affluent vote, as RINO Tom will certainly be glad to show you some beautiful charts. Trump voters are overwhelmingly wealthier.

I was stating those as objective facts about those metros, not that their affluence was a direct cause of them voting heavily Democratic. Honestly, I should've worded it better.

As for the state's beauty, that's highly subjective. Personally, I enjoyed the hills, Chesapeake Bay, and wealthy suburbs of the state. That's just my thing.

I mean, I guess I can respect most of that, but outside of Bethesda, the suburbs don't strike me as better than other parts of the northeast. Maybe there are a couple I haven't gotten to yet around there. The rest is perfectly fine, but the Baltimore area and north of it seem to be in much quicker decay than most other places - its just a bit striking coming from the north.

I'm also probably a little desensitized to northeast Philly, and I guess, uhhh, (parts of) Jersey City. Ah well, some good came out of this, you're inspiring me to make a FF/HP county map since the states are too diverse! Tongue
