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.
Sprouts--- I love you man!
True statement bolded for emphasis. Now, although Trump wealthies exist throughout the Union, there is also a strong correlation between 65+ voters, and level of support for Trump.
Now, anecdotal story (insert eye rolling everyone) the first Trump supporter I ever met was my boss in Houston Texas who was clearing $120k + who back in late Summer '15 put a Trump sticker up on his office cube (In a client owned facility) and Frank's 200 employees were 60%+ Latino and 15% Black!!!
I referred the issue to Senior HR, but it turned out there was no corporate policy prohibiting support for political candidates being posted in the workplace (Even in a client's facility!).
Now I'm with Jacobin the natural beauty of Maryland from Eastshore to the foothills of the mountains in Western Maryland.
Honestly, I'm kind of curious about how poorly Trump might perform on the Eastern Maryland counties this year.... part of the state that used to still retain Southern characteristics, but is basically a part of the state with small tight-knit communities, including a large Black population.
