In the 2012 elections, the blue counties seemed more likely to contain cities or university towns. The red counties tended to be more rural and without universities.
What this says to me is that the blue folk are in contact with a lot more stories of "reality" than are the red folk. Red folk mostly stay within the realm of stories of their own clan. Blue folk intermingle, live in a multistoried world.
As a result, blue folk are not threatened by stories other than their own; may even come to see them all as part of an even grander story unfolding.

P. S. This is neither an attack on blue folk or on red folk. It is a simple sociological observation and hypothesis, another story if you will. Please be calm.

Very interesting hypothesis that doesn't disturb my view of reality one bit. I am very calm and even feeling quite chill about it all even as I post this comment. : ) CW
