Put another way, if conservatism works the South would be the richest region of the country. But the opposite is true. Liberal cities and states are far richer than conservative and conservatives counties are a disaster.

"Are 97 of the nation's 100 poorest counties in red states?"

"Our ruling
The meme said that "97 percent of the 100 poorest counties in America are in red states." According to the most recent data, that’s a few percentage points high, but not by much.

However, measuring a county’s lack of affluence this way skews the map of poorest places toward rural states (which tend to be red) and away from big cities (which tend to be blue). This undercuts the simplicity of the meme’s political message.

The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True."

Without liberals living in large cities and creating companies like Apple, Google, Netflix, Facebook etc., the US economy would collapse.
