If you take your cues from them, then you have the other ~42 states already labeled, so good for you, keep your mind closed, no need to visit.
Middle America will just keep electing leaders while the extreme coasts fume at that diabolical Constitutional Republic that our Founding Fathers set up 230 years ago.
Enjoy.

Middle America elected a blowhard from NYC last time I checked.
