It’s also not simply red vs blue. Back when the AIDs epidemic was in full swing, there were many gay people (a more blue group I think) that continued to practice unsafe sex. Today, we have both Spring Breakers (who probably trend more blue) and oldsters (who probably trend red) who are doing foolish things.
If people were truly logical and rational, we wouldn’t have the great tragedies of literature. People of all shapes, sizes and political affiliations can be idiots. It’s one of the things that unites humanity…
