Because that's how things work.

Kimmel's rant fits in well with our homegrown rightwingers' racist dog

 How exactly is it racist to point out how filthy and trash-strewn and

Because when you look at the states that are consistently at the bottom of the barrel in terms of education, infant mortality, income, etc, - they're all Red States.
When you look at a list of the states that GET more from the Federal government, they're usually the same Red States.
The Freeloader states that the richer and smarter Blue states are picking up the slack for.
