(I also love the unintentional implication that Alaska and Hawaii only exist for one map)

Ackshually this only shows maps if 100% of the land area voted. Humans are much smaller than shown here.

Understandable. Here you go, this image shows a single person (to scale) off the coast of South Carolina: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/21959a6e-4413-4627-8dcf-76f88b314f72.jpeg

While this is very helpful, can you make a c/bananaforscale version?

It's weird how they claim a party affiliation for the state and not for the parts-of-the-state-where-people-live.

No Democrats in Hawaii period? Fake news

Damn! Alaska's down and you kicked hard.

Those damn democrats wanna take away the names of states!

On the plus side, they didn't invade Hawaii on behalf of United Fruit (now Chiquita) and apparently let Canada have Alaska.

Swings and roundabouts, as the Brits say 🤷

Or give Alaska back to Russia #landback

Nah, there's more than enough innocent people suffering under Putin's theocratic fascism already.

Another map that leaves out New Zealand

And Denmark

Canada relieved to be left off this map with all its tasty tasty water.

Crazy!

Another crazy fact...

Half of Americans make up 50% of the US population.

I won't tell you which half though! (JK it's the top half)

If only democrats voted, it would flood the entire US under water.

If only republicans voted, it would flood the entire US under lava.

We live in a society

What's really neat is, if everyone voted, the result would be the one on top.

VOTE!! Volunteer to give rides to those that wouldn't be able to make it without.

Maybe I'm experiencing a "whoosh" here...but what's the point? If only one side or the other votes of course it will look only one color or the other?
