RIP Jimmy Carter. Minnesota’s Walter Mondale and Carter represented a different kind of US politics. I believe history will remember them kindly.

If history tells us anything, it’s that parties that win trifectas & claim a mandate (especially when they are narrow, like this one) almost always overreach, and the opposition party strategy of “obstruct where you can & wait for them to self-immolate” is surprisingly effective.

A Tale of Two Americas: Comparing Harris-Won and Trump-Won States to Global Standards of Living

Introduction

The United States is often regarded as a global leader in wealth and development, yet its internal disparities tell a different story.

The divide between Harris-won and Trump-won states reveals stark contrasts in standard-of-living metrics such as life expectancy, child and maternal mortality, crime rates, and educational attainment.

By comparing these state groups to countries with similar performance levels, we gain a global perspective on the challenges and strengths within the U.S.

This analysis provides an “apples-to-apples” comparison to evaluate where these states stand on the world stage, offering insights into the socioeconomic conditions shaping the lives of millions of Americans.

Standard of Living Comparison

•Trump-Won States: ~75 years, similar to Bangladesh (~74.8 years), reflecting challenges with healthcare access and preventive care.

Infant Mortality (per 1,000 live births)

•Harris-Won States: 3.7, matching New Zealand (~3.6), a developed nation with robust child health policies.

•Trump-Won States: 45, aligning with Ukraine (~45), a nation where access to comprehensive maternal healthcare is limited.

Violent Crime (per 100,000 population)

•Harris-Won States: 320, similar to Belgium (~327), reflecting moderate crime levels in urbanized, developed regions.
•Trump-Won States: 450, close to Mexico (~447), highlighting higher violent crime rates tied to social and economic instability.

Gun Violence (per 100,000 population)

•Harris-Won States: 3.7, comparable to Finland (~3.6), a developed nation with lower firearm-related violence.
•Trump-Won States: 29.6, resembling South Africa (~30), a country with significant gun-related crime.

Incarceration Rate (per 100,000 population)

•Harris-Won States: 275, similar to Poland (~195), reflecting a moderate reliance on incarceration.
•Trump-Won States: 1,094, aligning with El Salvador (~590), indicating systemic issues in criminal justice policies.

"West Virginia ranks 50th out the 50 states & 4 territories in naturalizations, 51 in lawful permanent residents, 50th in new arrivals, 51st in Asylum...Those rankings stand out for a state that was the only one in the latest census to lose population" https://t.co/aLxUoEs9JD

New: In 2022, Gov. Justice announced a children’s crisis center because too many kids with mental health issues were sleeping in ERs or put in hotels. It never happened.
The WV Children's Center, which was supposed to house the crisis center, is closing. https://t.co/aCcYjiW5o3
