Found on snopes on a page about how to not believe some facebook generated page. It's a user generated map, please read the title. I thought it amusing.

Oh, okay! I guess I'm being too serious right now and didn't catch the humor.

Except, California is totally going for Clinton. As is New Mexico. But not Kansas. Kansas is totally going for Trump. As are several other states above that line.
So the map simply shows a lot of ignorance on the part of whoever made it.

(25,817 posts)10. Yes.
And it's still dumb. Ignorance, whether deliberate or inadvertent, is not charming.
