You don't have to be a genius to understand this. The deep red states with Republican leadership, have the poorest standard of living, the least choices for preventive health care screenings, and health care itself, and of course the lowest life expectancy in the United States. These politicians you keep electing do not care about you! Unless you have money you are a complete nobody to these people who will prey on your prejudices and fears to make sure they can line thier own pockets. They play you as fools, because you are.
