paint the country red
The voting patterns maps going around are amusing (you know, with the "blue" states listed as Canada or the United States, and the "red" states listed as "Dumbfuckistan" or the like.)

I personally find the "Dumbfuckistan" designation offensive, especially from lefties who like to think themselves allied with people from oppressed and American-colonially occupied nations. (Which Afghanistan is, and that is apparently the reference.)

This image with two maps, however, I think illustrates the divisions well, and without resorting to the offensive invective which people can then use to ignore an otherwise valid point. Check them out:
