It only seems ridiculous to you because it doesn’t fit your narrative but there are literally volumes of information linking
disease (like obesity) with access to healthcare.
I’m not your google monkey but here is a link from the National library of medicine, you can find dozens more on this topic in about 30 seconds of searching if you’re actually interested in fact finding.
Although certain subgroups that tend to have disproportionately high prevalences of obesity (i.e., low socioeconomic status, minority groups) have reduced access to care.
Disease, perhaps. Obesity? No. Overeating and inadequate physical activity result in obesity. Lack of health care does not.
The man with morals already has a better education
The man devoid of violence, hatred and and ingratitude
Is better than a PhD who burns and loots or teaches others to do so
But probably most of them don't vote, college students, too. Democrats lose a lot of votes from college students not wanting to vote. Republicans lose some of those votes as well.
Sure, minorities vote. That's why they are listed as a demographic in exit polls.
Yet, why are there so many poor people living in Republican states? Most of the poorest states are Republican led and less educated. Could some of have to do with the fact that the minimum wage in those states is still only $7.25?
Because both Democrat voters and Republican voters live in every state. It's just that Republican voters are FAR more likely to be self-supporting than are Democrat voters, by a pretty significant margin. It would be a good idea for Democrat politicians to ponder that and see if they can fix that problem. Their voter base is disproportionately unable to support themselves, and the Democrats don't do anything to help them become self-sufficient.
So what is driving people in the most obese states to love overeating and being too lazy to regularly exercise? Many of them seem too lazy or dumb to get better educated, too, since many come from the less educated states.
Where I come from to walk or jog for exercise you gotta do it at a park, rather than on a street sidewalk to avoid looking like the town weirdo. It's part of the culture.
Ask the Democrat voters. Obesity and under-education (and therefore, poverty) are predominantly a Democrat thing.

Not to mention many liberals have this absurd and I mean absurd notion that big government was established to remedy all their problems!!!!!

But the very poorest of people are not likely to vote. I won't cite a reference, since there are many articles available.
This doesn't change the conversation much, but I always found that fact to be interesting.... Politicians seem to pander to the poor, but they are actually posturing for the middle class, who actually does vote. By promising to help the poor, they solicit the vote of the idealistic non-poor, who, with hands clasped to their breasts, swoon at the thought of helping "all those poor people".
Bill Clinton, in particular, used this tool. If you promise to help and then claim that you did, you don't actually have to do anything.

It isn't better if you're too dumb to keep up with those highly educated people, whether their left or right, they won't have much patience with you.
I'd rather be "dumber" and have no national debt, than be "smarter" and have $26 TRILLION in debt.
I've been debt-free for many years, & retired in my 50's. I could get the USA out of debt in 7 years, and all I have is an MBA from a State University.
I trained 2 Harvard MBA's (while at GE Capital) to become CEO, and both struggled with the P&L, & Income statements. I didn't have much patience with them, so I eventually left...after they paid for my MBA.
I could pick 583 Americans at random at WalMart, and run the country better than our Ivy League educated Congressman do. I'd keep Paul and Massie.
