Well, that’s what I was thinking. Like, after what is going to hit people with their ACA premiums (and it appears to be the highest increases are in Wyoming), I really am surprised to see this level of continued support … ?
Wyoming people are dumber than a box of shit, their slavemasters will tell them the doctor costs more because of darkie warlock sorcery and they'll run out and buy Trump Charms (tm) to keep the voodoo away.
You guys get the double whammie of them and people shifting their residency to Florida while preparing to sell high value assets in order to use the state to dodge taxes
I lived in Jackson, WY. Teton County is the only Dem county in the entire state. The Cheneys even live there. The billionaires have moved out the millionaires now. Once you get out of the Tetons, the terrain gets rough and the folks are hardcore MAGA. Serious downgrade.
While they don’t like their healthcare premiums increasing, they overwhelmingly support Trump’s establishment of a patrimonial government - eliminating federal agencies (EPA, CDC, FDA, SEC, IRS, FEMA, CFPB, DOE.), increasing the federal debt, limiting investment into academic research, etc.
The price for Republicans to dismantle our constitutional and liberal democracy is a few hundred dollars a month in higher health care premiums. Honestly, that’s a really cheap price to pay to undo a 250-year experiment.
You’ll eventually come around to the fact that people are that dumb. In the early 2000s I was working for a week or so in Michigan’s UP. I went to a diner for lunch and ordered meatloaf. The waitress asked unironically if I wanted mashed potatoes or freedom fries. That was the moment I realized that this country was screwed.
I didnt say people in Jackson Hole are stupid, I said they are rich, I mean, if you live in Jackson Hole you sure aren't poor. I'm sure all those rich people influence the poor people in other areas.
I think trump is wish fulfillment for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Being able to be born wealthy, never be accountable, fail upwards, be as racist or sexist as you want without consequence, the pedophilia, etc.
Omgeeeeeee….Ok I knew a man one time that was trying to tell me how he can’t stand teen girls that try to set up pedophiles. I was soooo confused. I said “If the man is a pedophile who cares if he goes to prison.”
Anyways he later told me his dream states to live in would be Wyoming and Utah.
I mean, insular small town religious communities out in the sticks? That's perfect playground for "well he's a good man and you don't want to cause a fuss" or "we shouldn't ruin family over this".
Facebook is awful. I go on there to check my local weather app and aurora tracking. There are some good pages for this (I actually drive north into Wyoming to chase aurora, one thing it’s good for is to get away from all light pollution). Anyways I get sucked into the feed sometimes and the comments are unreal. People are cheering Trump shutting to NCAR to “stop funding the climate hoax”. NCAR the world’s leading atmospheric research center that has done groundbreaking research that changed the world for the better, and also helps with natural disaster mitigation. It’s also blatantly obvious Trump is doing it as revenge for Colorado locking up the loony Tina Peters that he tried to pardon.
Since I follow a lot of weather channels I see a lot of posts regarding weather and literally every single one has comments about cloud seeding, chemtrails, and human expedited climate change being fake because the climate has always changed over millions of years. Actually kind of ironic they will say cloud seeding is affecting the weather and in the same breath say climate change is democrat hysteria.
I also see obviously fake AI posts and conservative boomers eat that shit up. It’s kind of wild how much it appears to be influencing people’s political opinions.
I think that explains a lot for the states that are red or slightly red- a lot of them have never left their state, or town for that matter. In my rural red state they think a town of 25,000 people is a big city. Good glory. And yeah, the Fox News bubble doesn’t help, preceded by years of Rush Limbaugh on the radio. And they’ll never know differently. The good news about Wyoming is that less than a million people live there.
I'm an openly gay white male who is a lifelong resident. I graduated from the University of Wyoming, had a thirty year career in Wyoming State Government including 16 years in the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 2 years in the Governor's Office, 10 years in the State Parks and Historic Sites Agency and 2 years in the Department of Commerce. I was president of the Wyoming Quarter Horse Association for 3 years. I have lived in Casper, Laramie, Cheyenne, Gillette, Douglas and Jackson. Unsurprisingly I would be considered a socially progressive individual. I can attest to the fact that Wyoming citizens, while conservative, historically were intelligent, thoughtful, respectful and kind. There was a live and let live attitude with a true adherence to the Golden Rule. A person was judged by their character and behaviors, not their political affiliation or who they hated. Credit was given to elected officials who listened to their constituents and focused their efforts towards implementing positive policies, rules and law. There was a sincere effort to live up to the State's motto of "Equality." It is a tragedy that our current President and his cabinet has normalized and fostered a destructive, combative, disrespectful and divisive means of governance. It is doublely horrific and heartbreaking that the citizens of Wyoming have fallen victim to this vile platform. Somehow we've mistook hate, intolerance, selfishness, disrespect and brutality as qualities to be admired and, likewise, have elected local and state officials on the basis of these attributes. As I fade into the sunset of my life I catch myself crying in utter despair at what has become of my beloved State of Wyoming. Trust me when I say, the current political slogan of making anything great again, is simply a misguided, ignorant and dangerous attempt of individuals weak in character and morals to wrest freedom, tolerance, respect and prosperity away from the decent citizens of Wyoming.
I am a straight progressive woman born and bred Wyomingite also UW and UW Law grew up in a small town and live in Cheyenne in and out of State government employment over the years. I echo your thoughts! Wyoming isn’t the same place for the last 15 years or so and Trump and MAGA or as they call themselves “the freedom caucus” have destroyed our state. People are poor, nor well educated, don’t think for themselves, the live and let live libertarianism is gone. They are electing the meanest of the mean carpetbaggers.
Wyoming has become the conservative Mecca so many city jackass conservatives and white supremacists moving here. Gone are the small town neighborly values. Old style Republicans with old style values are still here but have no control of their party or its crazy nuts. Massive brain drain of the young and progressive.
I fear this has to be accurate. My friends who are mostly boomers at the local dive bar are not happy with the way the government is moving. The 21 year old who's dad is in the coal mining/oil fielding industry? Yelling and calling everyone regarded. 😭
Residents like to boast about how free they are in Wyoming. No open carry/concealed carry restrictions, ride OHV's on any roads, free landfills, no compulsory education, no corporate tax and the list goes on. Light up a joint and go to prison.
As a former resident of Wyoming (I'm not from there but both sides of my family are, I only lived there twice in my life), this tracks. Lol there are a few non-supporters though. I'm not sure how many. But I do know a few. With the population being on the lower side, its easy to make the color so dark red in comparison to the few non-supporters that still live there.
I last lived in Evanston. A black hole of a town that you're lucky just to get out of. Lol I now live in Idaho. It's still a red state but. . .
The only thing I miss about Wyoming is the night sky.
I have some family that moved up there about 15 years ago and the mentality that developed when trump first hit in 2015 just makes me shake my head.wtf happened to you people? the bs that they believe is nuts and accelerated with COVID
There's a sign out in front of some small business in Cheyenne on 85: "Trump was right!"
About what? Be funny if he means the Epstein files, which have been scrubbed of everybody but Bill Clinton. AG said they had 1000 agents scrubbing them for a month
Yes Wyoming plops itself in front of Fox news while putting on a blindfold to the rest of the world. I have family there but it is sickening to see the Trump flags. They might as well be part of Utah.
We really gonna make this same post every month. Yes, he has a high approval rating here, there is literally zero reason that should be surprising, and these incredulous circle-jerk “Do better Wyoming!” are pathetic.
I love this state for a lot of reasons. I was born and raised here and it's my home. But it's been absurdly red for a very long time and has been the most pro-Trump state in the US from the outset.
Collectively, Wyomingites are ignorant, stubborn, stuck in their ways, easily swayed by misinformation/disinformation, distrustful of outsiders, lacking in critical thinking and the willingness to adjust to new information, and continue to skew older...while the few younger folks that do stay tend to fall into the same hole because they're surrounded by it for so long.
What do you expect? Most people here have barely left their own county. Add that to the fact that Wyoming has become a haven for the ultra wealthy to avoid paying taxes and this is what you get.
Living in CO near the WY border, I see apocalyptic articles by newspapers there all the time about how grim the situation is with ranchers and farmers, dwindling hospitals, and tourism down.
And yet those mooks still love the MF? There’s some hardcore cognitive dissonance going on. Definitely Obama’s fault. /s 🙄
And while Wyoming seems out-of-step with the rest of the country, they have - per capita - far more influence on who is president than other states because of the electoral college. Wyoming has one presidential elector per 196,000 people, while California has one per 730,000 people. So each Wyoming citizen wields almost 4 times as much power as each California citizen. Small in absolute sense, of course (3 electoral votes for the state), but each vote counts much more.
Faulty logic. If what you say is true, during campaign season this state would be lousy with candidates stumping for our vote. The bottom line is we have three electoral votes. We're insignificant.
Did you miss the "small in an absolute sense" part? Yes, overall Wyoming has a small impact. But per-capita - the individual power of a vote - it's significantly more. Both of those can be true....
That argument is so stupid. Our 3 electoral college votes are just that. 3. Compared to how many in California? Our 3 votes really don’t secure or lose an election.
When Trump won one of my friends from Wyoming texted me saying "you dont have anything to worry about youre a white guy. If you wanna find true freedom come up to Wyoming you can have some land down next to my camper."
My mexican wife is who im worried about personally along with my mom, my sister, my grandma... Basically any woman or people with any brown in their skin whatsoever. So yea... makes sense that they're all trumpers.
No surprise to me. I can't believe what percentage of the medical professionals in Wyoming are antivacers. I am amazed at the highly educated people that can't see what is going on
What….. the……Fuck…..Wyoming. Just so disappointing. Just smile while this guy pisses all over everything you’ve built and then sets it up to be corporatized. We’ll have digital billboard’s in the park and you idiots will just buy a god damn Trump ad for it and say Charlie Kirk would’ve wanted that way. The Grift is a real as following the money right out of our state and personal pockets but, we’ll save face and double down, what’s it matter it’s just our home. You know in this state with no democrats to speak of but, somehow in the end it will be “them” that caused the turmoil. Know matter the logic it makes Wyoming look dumb as shit and the actual consequences are no where near this idiocracy. Once private entities have a way in they do not leave.
When you drive into Casper and see the statue of roughnecks on a drilling floor your first thought isn't "I bet they love Bernie, green energy and minorities?"
I lived there for a decade. One of the dive bars near me was selling a crazy homophobic shirt and only stopped because the bar was getting egged on a regular basis. I'm so glad I got my family out of there.
The fact that states like Missouri, Florida, and South Carolina are close to 50-50 split gives me hope. Sorry Wyoming, I don't think y'all will ever vote for a Democrat unless something really crazy and bad happens.
I know a "hardcore MAGA" who I call white George Floyd, I am not going to explain why in detail because I am probably already doxing myself too much, but he was busted as a drug dealer and was the victim of police brutality. Despite that, he supports the police and believes everything Trump says as gospel truth.
More!! Everybody get active and do!! Get other Wyoming people active too!! We the people have the power!! The more of us doing the more we get done!! The more of us together the stronger we are!!
Power to the People!!!! 99% will win vs 1% every time with all of us in the movement!! HOOYAH!! OORAH!!
Its like a heat map of people that dont listen to logic. I was in a casino in Idaho the other day and there were at least 3 people with Make America Diddle Again hats on still
This is telling when you look for the next election cycle. Can trumps poor approval mean that democrats can flip both chambers? It’s possible but you also see a fracture in his grip of the party. I think if we put boots on the ground in Venezuela you will see a huge call for impeachment from both sides.
Literally everyone here is a republican, what were you expecting? Reddit is a very librral leaning website, the Wyomingites you see here are the weird ones.
The three largest liberal counties in Wyoming are sweetwater, campbell and Laramie. Three of the largest contributers to the state in infrastructure, oil, trona, population and education.
Just to note, only about 250k people voted in the 2024 election. That means 400k people didn’t vote around 125k of those people are not of voting age. Wyoming isn’t really ruby red. Most of the population is stuck in the viscous cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and have given up on the government. Wyoming could easily be flipped if a surge of democrats moved to the state (unlikely) or someone could inspire folks to vote for the left (also unlikely). The overwhelmingly vocal minority doesn’t know how precarious the situation will be if those folks who do not vote suddenly get inspired to do so. Of course, voting is probably unbelievably rigged anyway so I am just postulating.
Wyoming doesn't have any real cities. I'd wager most states would show similar approval if the metro areas were ignored in the survey. I live in Colorado, but not in the front range or near any of the resort areas. Everyone is conservative, almost everyone is White, and nobody wants much to change. Life is good. My wife and I gotta get to Church but 1st we're gonna swing by the Amish bakery for breakfast.
Isn't this the same heat map that was made to show how much healthcare premiums will rise after the ACA ends?
Well, that’s what I was thinking. Like, after what is going to hit people with their ACA premiums (and it appears to be the highest increases are in Wyoming), I really am surprised to see this level of continued support … ?
Wyoming people are dumber than a box of shit, their slavemasters will tell them the doctor costs more because of darkie warlock sorcery and they'll run out and buy Trump Charms (tm) to keep the voodoo away.
Didn't a lot of rich people move to Jackson Hole to flee Covid? I'm sure the rich land owners love the idiots more than ever.
The billionaires have pushed the millionaires out of Jackson Hole. They’re not born Wyoming people.
Kinda like the red-voting dumbshit retirees we get in Florida (and who have gradually turned the state from Purple to Deep Red.)
You guys get the double whammie of them and people shifting their residency to Florida while preparing to sell high value assets in order to use the state to dodge taxes
Yep, it's a like a Biblical plague or something.
I hate it (I don't hate them, but I hate what they do.) They set up shop among us, out vote us and then pretend they are the real Floridians.
I'm like, bro, you just came 5 years ago. Oh well.
I lived in Jackson, WY. Teton County is the only Dem county in the entire state. The Cheneys even live there. The billionaires have moved out the millionaires now. Once you get out of the Tetons, the terrain gets rough and the folks are hardcore MAGA. Serious downgrade.
Albany County votes blue. The Cheney family has a home there, but it’s mostly empty now that Liz isn’t an active Wyoming politician.
And isn't weird how ICE hasn't made an appearance in Jackson? The Billionaires don't want their cheap labor fucked with.
Have been having the same thought
I am a blue fart in the red hurricane of a town called Cheyenne. Hahaha
I refuse to believe that people are that dumb.
While they don’t like their healthcare premiums increasing, they overwhelmingly support Trump’s establishment of a patrimonial government - eliminating federal agencies (EPA, CDC, FDA, SEC, IRS, FEMA, CFPB, DOE.), increasing the federal debt, limiting investment into academic research, etc.
The price for Republicans to dismantle our constitutional and liberal democracy is a few hundred dollars a month in higher health care premiums. Honestly, that’s a really cheap price to pay to undo a 250-year experiment.
You’ll eventually come around to the fact that people are that dumb. In the early 2000s I was working for a week or so in Michigan’s UP. I went to a diner for lunch and ordered meatloaf. The waitress asked unironically if I wanted mashed potatoes or freedom fries. That was the moment I realized that this country was screwed.
They are actually really smart, just isolated
We don’t all drink the koolaid
I live in Jackson. Everybody i know is really smart....
No one who lives in Jackson is from Wyoming and has every resource in the world to get a good education.
Jackson isn’t Wyoming. Neither is the little enclave around the university in Laramie. The rest is bumblefuck coal country.
I didnt say people in Jackson Hole are stupid, I said they are rich, I mean, if you live in Jackson Hole you sure aren't poor. I'm sure all those rich people influence the poor people in other areas.
edited to take a word out
WY has such a small population so a little goes a long way.
After the subsidies end
AKA, someone else's money.
Imagine that, they’re going to charge the idiots who don’t think there is a problem more than everybody else.
Of course the leopard ate your face when you invited it into your home. FFS.
This map probably works for percent of people with IQs over 100 too
Wyoming has a lot of isolated people who are addicted to Facebook, which is a notorious bot farm for conservative propaganda.
As someone who lives here, there's also a really big pedophile problem, which is part of why they like trump so much
I think trump is wish fulfillment for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Being able to be born wealthy, never be accountable, fail upwards, be as racist or sexist as you want without consequence, the pedophilia, etc.
Yep there's a lot of religious extremists. When I went to community college there the Mormons got in trouble by trying to take over the college.
ORLY ? I would've guessed that to be in UT or ID
There's also a big dumbass problem which is why, uh, uh, you know the thing...
Omgeeeeeee….Ok I knew a man one time that was trying to tell me how he can’t stand teen girls that try to set up pedophiles. I was soooo confused. I said “If the man is a pedophile who cares if he goes to prison.”
Anyways he later told me his dream states to live in would be Wyoming and Utah.
Utah has entered the chat
That's quite the bold statement.
I mean, insular small town religious communities out in the sticks? That's perfect playground for "well he's a good man and you don't want to cause a fuss" or "we shouldn't ruin family over this".
Facebook is awful. I go on there to check my local weather app and aurora tracking. There are some good pages for this (I actually drive north into Wyoming to chase aurora, one thing it’s good for is to get away from all light pollution).

Well, when 90% of the smart people leave upon high school graduation…
This cannot be emphasized enough. Bunch of lonely, in the bubble, Fox News-addled boomers.
Live here, I can assure you it's not only boomers. There are many in the younger generations who are maga.
Of course. The apple doesn't fall far ftom the tree (unless little apple goes to college, then all bets are OFF).
Absolutely, i see so much of that where I am, no new blood.
These people never leave/experience the world.
I think that explains a lot for the states that are red or slightly red- a lot of them have never left their state, or town for that matter. In my rural red state they think a town of 25,000 people is a big city. Good glory. And yeah, the Fox News bubble doesn’t help, preceded by years of Rush Limbaugh on the radio. And they’ll never know differently. The good news about Wyoming is that less than a million people live there.
My parents lived in ID for about a decade and they met people who had never left their county.
those less-than-a-million people elect just as many senators as 40million Californians get
That's becsuse 250 yesrs ago no one ept the original Wyomanians knew Wyoming existrd.
WV here crying in the corner.
My first thought. A state inhabited by the extremely wealthy and the extremely undereducated
While I still love Wyoming leaving was the best thing ever for me!
I'm an openly gay white male who is a lifelong resident.

This was beautifully written.
How the "Cowboy state" fell in line for a New York City Real Estate con man is truly something to behold.
It really is mind boggling. He represents none of the traditional conservative values.
Family values? Don’t make me fucking laugh
Religious faith? He plays golf every sunday instead of church. He profits off selling bibles.
Limited government and free markets? He directly interferes with markets and has spent ~$100 million of our money on golf trips
Military support? He called veterans suckers and losers. He dodged service by having his rich daddy get a doctors note for bone spurs
The only reason I can come up with is that half the country lost their goddamn minds because a black man was president.
Don't forget that black man wore a tan suit once.
Solid
Tan is just another word for brown, and brown is not ok
Trump is a racist. That’s all they need to know to support him.
THIS +1
Watch one channel and fall in line with everyone else you know.
The loudest ones aren’t boomers they’re ignorant 20 year olds.
I fear this has to be accurate. My friends who are mostly boomers at the local dive bar are not happy with the way the government is moving. The 21 year old who's dad is in the coal mining/oil fielding industry? Yelling and calling everyone regarded. 😭
A lot of my friends are in the 24-29 age group and they seem to just parrot whatever sentiment they hear their parents have.
Thats because all of the non-ignorant 20 year olds left the state at their first opportunity
I can't believe that the state that voted the most for Trump also supports him the most. Who could have seen this coming?
You know you're talking about Wyoming yeah?
As someone who is in Wyoming. Yeah most of us are stupid as fuck here.
Residents like to boast about how free they are in Wyoming. No open carry/concealed carry restrictions, ride OHV's on any roads, free landfills, no compulsory education, no corporate tax and the list goes on. Light up a joint and go to prison.
I am, once again, extremely ashamed to admit that I live in Wyoming.
I left Wyo the same week I graduated high school . It’s really rough there. Visiting can be challenging.
As a former resident of Wyoming (I'm not from there but both sides of my family are, I only lived there twice in my life), this tracks. Lol there are a few non-supporters though. I'm not sure how many. But I do know a few. With the population being on the lower side, its easy to make the color so dark red in comparison to the few non-supporters that still live there.

The only thing I miss about Wyoming is the night sky.
As long as he stays true to his racism, sexism, and homophobia, Wyoming will love him. All the way to bankruptcy. Y’all voted for this.
As a Montanan. Fuck MAGA.
Not all of us, just the people who have trouble doing their research
I have some family that moved up there about 15 years ago and the mentality that developed when trump first hit in 2015 just makes me shake my head.wtf happened to you people? the bs that they believe is nuts and accelerated with COVID
Idk what the hell you expected lmao we’re like the reddest state in the country
Dont associate me with those twits
There's a sign out in front of some small business in Cheyenne on 85: "Trump was right!"
About what? Be funny if he means the Epstein files, which have been scrubbed of everybody but Bill Clinton. AG said they had 1000 agents scrubbing them for a month

This comes as a shocker to you?
I love this state for a lot of reasons. I was born and raised here and it's my home. But it's been absurdly red for a very long time and has been the most pro-Trump state in the US from the outset.
Collectively, Wyomingites are ignorant, stubborn, stuck in their ways, easily swayed by misinformation/disinformation, distrustful of outsiders, lacking in critical thinking and the willingness to adjust to new information, and continue to skew older...while the few younger folks that do stay tend to fall into the same hole because they're surrounded by it for so long.

Did you miss the "small in an absolute sense" part? Yes, overall Wyoming has a small impact. But per-capita - the individual power of a vote - it's significantly more. Both of those can be true....
Still insignificant. There roughly 10x more Trump supporters in just LA County than all of WY.
That argument is so stupid. Our 3 electoral college votes are just that. 3. Compared to how many in California? Our 3 votes really don’t secure or lose an election.
Could also be a heatmap of stupidity in America
At least you have the chem trail posse looking out for you.
Wyoming and Kansas are the two shittiest places I've ever had the displeasure of being in. They're clueless about a lot of shit. And proud of it.
Oh Wyoming, I hate you. Sincerely Montana.
We wish they would stay in their own state. We already have enough problems with eastern and southern parts of our state.
Respectfully, Colorado.
Seriously? Come up to southern Wyoming in the summer and if you only look at license plates you'll think you're still in Colorado.
So so sad.
Brain drain is a real problem for this state. They're a lost cause.
I don’t believe Texas and Florida Also even if his approval is low, MAGA still denies: 1) he’s a pedo and 2) that there was anyone else to vote for
So it may be approval but he’d still “win” a (illegal) 3rd term in many of the states shades light blue
When Trump won one of my friends from Wyoming texted me saying "you dont have anything to worry about youre a white guy. If you wanna find true freedom come up to Wyoming you can have some land down next to my camper." My mexican wife is who im worried about personally along with my mom, my sister, my grandma... Basically any woman or people with any brown in their skin whatsoever. So yea... makes sense that they're all trumpers.
I fucking hate it here :(
Totally not a cult. /s
Too bad the cows can’t vote.
No surprise to me. I can't believe what percentage of the medical professionals in Wyoming are antivacers. I am amazed at the highly educated people that can't see what is going on
Can’t fix stupid. Or culture based on a bygone era.
State filled with rich people who love Trump and Johnson for taxing the middle class.
Wyoming people are idiots, speaking as a person from Wyoming.
The title sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t live in the state and watches way too much Yellowstone and OLD cowboy movies.
Wyoming is the reddest state in the country. Are you surprised
Overwhelmingly white and uneducated are Trump’s base
You all did get rid of Liz Cheney for trying to hold Trump accountable for J6, so this tracks.
This is also why I'm moving after I graduate.
West Virginia is a total Welfare and Disability state. They have not an ounce of common sense.
I am from Wyoming and do not condone the idiocy of my fellow statesmen.
Peak WYO.
They never asked me 🤷🏼♀️ 🤦🏼♀️
Ignorance is bliss
Wyo you have your work cut out for you! Get those local government seats, and state rep seats turned over.
We're cheering for you to go BLUE!
Now overlay average IQ
Proof we’re the dumbest state in the union
What….. the……Fuck…..Wyoming. Just so disappointing. Just smile while this guy pisses all over everything you’ve built and then sets it up to be corporatized. We’ll have digital billboard’s in the park and you idiots will just buy a god damn Trump ad for it and say Charlie Kirk would’ve wanted that way. The Grift is a real as following the money right out of our state and personal pockets but, we’ll save face and double down, what’s it matter it’s just our home. You know in this state with no democrats to speak of but, somehow in the end it will be “them” that caused the turmoil. Know matter the logic it makes Wyoming look dumb as shit and the actual consequences are no where near this idiocracy. Once private entities have a way in they do not leave.
I was not a big fan of Dick Cheney, but he saw Trump for what he is…an incompetent coward.
Liz Cheney is a hero and patriot in my mind for taking on MAGA.
This just in: Reddit SHOCKED to find that red state is filled with "le heccin ebil republicans"
When you drive into Casper and see the statue of roughnecks on a drilling floor your first thought isn't "I bet they love Bernie, green energy and minorities?"
It isn't called the "Oil City" for nothing.
😂🤣😂 & I need to see this statue!

Damn, those statue roughnecks are fit AF! Thanks 😁
Edit: The statue looks like it could be a book cover for Atlas Shrugged, lol
Haha , I'm like relatively big maybe 6'0" 200, when I worked on the rigs I was one of the smaller guys on my crew.

I would have thought South Dakota would be darker than it is...
He turned every small town into Jonestown
Is it really that bad?? Really!?
Worse
Born and raised in Wyoming until I was 24; and Wyoming has always been red but not this batshit crazy red.
I lived there for a decade. One of the dive bars near me was selling a crazy homophobic shirt and only stopped because the bar was getting egged on a regular basis. I'm so glad I got my family out of there.
Jesus, Idaho! You’re killing me!
Were you expecting something different?
Those states are Empty space.
Poor white folks that are so poor they don’t realize how bad the economy is.
The saying used to be "Wyoming sands Republicans to Washington and Democrats to Cheyenne"
The Wyoming mentality is nearly similar to Alaska: "Leave me alone"
Leave me alone ..but give me a lot of Federal jobs and Federal funds!!
All 10 people in wyoming still likes trump
It’s what happens when there’s six residents
We rather HERD the sheep and cattle…not be one of them.
Oh look at all the swing states, fuckers
Bogus heat map choices were made
Colorado should be darker
The fact that states like Missouri, Florida, and South Carolina are close to 50-50 split gives me hope. Sorry Wyoming, I don't think y'all will ever vote for a Democrat unless something really crazy and bad happens.
Trust me, I had it as much as everyone else.
I know a "hardcore MAGA" who I call white George Floyd, I am not going to explain why in detail because I am probably already doxing myself too much, but he was busted as a drug dealer and was the victim of police brutality. Despite that, he supports the police and believes everything Trump says as gospel truth.
More!! Everybody get active and do!! Get other Wyoming people active too!! We the people have the power!! The more of us doing the more we get done!! The more of us together the stronger we are!!
Power to the People!!!! 99% will win vs 1% every time with all of us in the movement!! HOOYAH!! OORAH!!
Now overlay education.
I guess you’ve never been to Wyoming lol
Winning
Wyoming is FAR too tough for c̶o̶m̶m̶i̶e̶s̶ leftists.
Its like a heat map of people that dont listen to logic. I was in a casino in Idaho the other day and there were at least 3 people with Make America Diddle Again hats on still
ND is such a fucking embarrassment.
Wyoming gets it.
Now show democrats approval numbers
Now show Democrats. LMAO!
They have the same number of senators as California does.
"Equality state"
Time to turn in your badge.
It's not all of us!
This is telling when you look for the next election cycle. Can trumps poor approval mean that democrats can flip both chambers? It’s possible but you also see a fracture in his grip of the party. I think if we put boots on the ground in Venezuela you will see a huge call for impeachment from both sides.
Very misleading chart
It really should be “seriously, how is very state not in love with DjT”…. Best POTUS ever.
Wyoming is the most conservative state in America why would you be shocked by this
L
Looks like the same map predicting a Kamala victory. And Hillary before that.
There are over 20 us cities with larger population than Wyoming
Farmers are the backbone of the country. Hard working people of the earth. Idiots, in other words.
Not farmers in Wyoming - ranchers.
Damn right!
There's only 300,000 people in the state.
600000 if you count the cattle.
Those old folks love their Nazi Pedophile President, damn MAGAT cult.
They all live under rocks in Wyoming.
Texas should be glowing red
Of this map is correct, I would think about moving to Wyoming in a heartbeat. Problem is that I live in Kansas and am tired of wind already.
Clean, beautiful coal!
Literally everyone here is a republican, what were you expecting? Reddit is a very librral leaning website, the Wyomingites you see here are the weird ones.
inb4 this gets interpreted as pro trump
"Literally"?
The three largest liberal counties in Wyoming are sweetwater, campbell and Laramie. Three of the largest contributers to the state in infrastructure, oil, trona, population and education.
You were saying?.....
Ok so I guess we're the most pro trump state for no reason then.
Now you've got it!
Yeah, just like how you're so "edgy" for having Epstein's name as your username. Really sticking it to the libs with that 💪
who are you quoting?
Yeah our great big state of less than six hundred thousand people of which many didn’t even vote. I know most of my bunch didn’t vote for him .
Just to note, only about 250k people voted in the 2024 election. That means 400k people didn’t vote around 125k of those people are not of voting age. Wyoming isn’t really ruby red. Most of the population is stuck in the viscous cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and have given up on the government. Wyoming could easily be flipped if a surge of democrats moved to the state (unlikely) or someone could inspire folks to vote for the left (also unlikely). The overwhelmingly vocal minority doesn’t know how precarious the situation will be if those folks who do not vote suddenly get inspired to do so. Of course, voting is probably unbelievably rigged anyway so I am just postulating.
Wyoming doesn't have any real cities. I'd wager most states would show similar approval if the metro areas were ignored in the survey. I live in Colorado, but not in the front range or near any of the resort areas. Everyone is conservative, almost everyone is White, and nobody wants much to change. Life is good. My wife and I gotta get to Church but 1st we're gonna swing by the Amish bakery for breakfast.
God Bless 🇺🇸
