The map below takes the two-party “blue state” vs. “red state” paradigm a step further, showing how slim most of the margins in each state were by coloring each state via a graded legend that ranges from blue to red. The result is a “purple haze,” to quote Boing Boing.
The second map below is pretty cynical but complements my surly/depressed mood perfectly. Not A Dollarshort rethinks the Canada-U.S. border, coming up with Canada 2.0 (a similar map is somewhat more extreme, but I’ll link to it anyway). I really like the inspiration for this:
From the moment I woke up this morning, I’ve been hearing Ving Rhame’s Marsellus Wallace character from Pulp Fiction in my head:
“Hey, Red America you’ve just lost your Canada 2.0 privileges.”
Too funny.
