This is something you can't get out of the data, that is something you believe.
The data just shows the correlation. It doesnt show whether states in that segment will just vote republican or if republican states will move into that segment (as a result of the policies). That interpretation is something everyone has to do for themselfs.

Oh, absolutely it's from my lived experience seeing why people vote the way they do. Obviously the data only shows the correlation, not the causation.
