@jellyfishbrained Some Republican states are in dire straits. The people's lives don't improve. And they keep voting for them. The Same could be lobbied at Dems, except it wouldn't be true.
Fact is both sides do have people that don't vote, and that don't vote for their interests.
In Dem regions, that might be more the rich or maybe even middle class, willing to vote or compromise, or get someone who won't totally throw everyone else under the bus... Too much.
In republican areas, the poor don't vote, or are willing to throw themselves under due to cultural issues. While the rich vote more openly for their interests or just don't care how their candidate treats the poor.
Florida has lately been considered almost 3rd world. The gap between rich and poor has grown. And it's become an area where the rich have homes, or stash some cash. A tax haven for the rich.
That's what I've heard.
So why do they vote how they do, it's cultural. And the rich because it benefits them.
The rich have outsized power in the US. In a state that's culturally red, they'll have even more. Because the rich and businesses can afford campaigns. And if the people are poorer, then they can afford to support candidates less. And the campaign ads they'll see will have a framing towards supporting that cultural belief too.
