My mistake was typing "blue" instead of "red".
My point still stands. He was trying to create a correlation between slave states and red states. It's a false correlation, and an attempt - once again - to brand southerners/rural folks/Republicans/conservatives/whatever as racist troglodytes.
Not to mention the fact that there's not enough similarity between the two maps to indicate a real correlation.
