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.

And it's still dumb. Ignorance, whether deliberate or inadvertent, is not charming.
