It’s impossible to separate this generosity from the political nature of the places where the money went. If we map where the money went, we see it was mostly centered in the Midwest, running up the Mississippi River. No county received more than Cass County, N.D., where the city of Fargo is located. Counties that voted for Trump received $157.83 per person, while the average per-person amount in counties that flipped from blue to red in 2016 was just over $163. Individual counties that backed Clinton got an average of $224 per person, while those that supported Trump received an average of almost $756 per person.
