How the good and the bad divides us

This electoral map divides the country by our record of significant good (blue) and bad (red) things involving the various states over the past year. Two striking points: the status of the former Confederacy and how evenly we are divided between the good and the bad, currently 194 electoral votes in bad states vs. 186 in good ones.

What are the "things" which are being used as criteria?

Great point RWP. What are the criteria? Anyone can put up a US map and basically say, "I like these blue state" "I don't like these red states" "and these gold state, well who cares?"

I look at cops killing people of color and well, no Wisconsin and Minnesota are Blue. I look for states Biden won and well, no I look at Covid cases and how well the state did and again... no... no matter what criteria I come up with to try to decide how this can make ANY sense besides try to divide us even further, I am even more confused.
