Unfortunately, in order to be able to understand this, one would need to be able to comprehend grocery store arithmetic at the 4th grade level, and that's well beyond your abilities ya frickin moron. .
Were you talking to me or to the other frickin moron?

I just might have unintentionally intentionally choose those because I left a few out and changed the order while typing.

And so do I.

So what?

There are Blue counties in Alabama just like there are red ones in California.

In fact, from the election results you can readily see that Alabama is as Democratic as California is Republican.

Even slightly more so.

Clinton got 35% of the vote in Alabama, Trump got 33% in California.
