Dude… That one in Phoenix is a street that wasn’t too far from where I grew up, I totally recognized that street right off the bat. Totally Maricopa County!
People who like this concept should check out the game Geoguessr. It has nothing to do with politics, you just have to guess where your streetview locations are in the world, there are lots of maps (e.g. USA, EU, Tropics, etc), you can move around on streetview if you want, and there are different modes including a multiplayer. Unfortunately you need a subscription now, but they let you play one regular game per day on a free account, and you can just make another one to play again.
very interesting, I played a couple times and the basic strategy for me goes like this: 1. Pickup trucks -> Trump 2. Farmland -> STRONG Trump 3. Cities (buses) -> STRONG Biden 4. single level suburban -> Trump 5. Suburban McMansions -> Biden 6. Import cars -> Biden 7. Multi-Unit housing -> Biden Got me about 75% right after a few tries.
This is so cool! You should do weekly or bi-weekly thing where you do neat little political stuff like this. It's nice to have something to lighten up with with politics :D
3:05 immediately jumped out to me as the south. The red brick everywhere and roads obliterated from the heat were a dead give away. That and the lack of color despite it clearly being fall.
I've found a formula that generally works: - Single family homes ALONE generally aren't enough to narrow it down to Trump-only, but the presence of apartments and connected-homes almmost always lean towards Biden. - If an area looks even vaguely like California, you're best off just assuming it leans D after considering everything else on this list. - If an area could reasonably be confused for Kentucky, just assume it voted for Trump. I got a lot of red-leaning Wisconsin/Ohio this way. For the intermountain west, you can just substitute 'Kentucky' for 'Idaho' -- got a lot of Utah suburbs right that way. - If an area looks like somewhere blue-collar whites would live, but the architecture/foliage looks like old-suburb northeast or midwest-like, it's probably still got a big Union contingent, and so leans Biden. - Sidewalks are generally but not always Biden-leaning, but a complete lack of sidewalks is almost certainly rural and/or not interested in walkability, and leans Trump. I'm sure some computer could calculate the exact combination of Geography/Demographics/Housing style that could nail this quiz, given enough info. edit: The one area that confounds my formula here is upstate New York, for some reason.
13:10 LOL I immediately knew it was Bellevue. It’s probably around Lake Washington because of the houses. I live just north of Bellevue. Funny! Great video Ethan!
@@LandryRobbins Where is that? I am thinking there was not much to bury. My A&P instructor was a Tarrant County medical examiner and was given the task of off identify the remains. I think he said a jaw bone was how he identified David. I am not sure why Tarrant County got this job other than Fort Worth being the closest big city. Waco is not a small town but I doubt it had the capabilities of Fort Worth.
@@LandryRobbins I didn't know that. I think he spent time in East Texas before moving to Waco. I had once read a little about the Branch Davidians. I know his name was not really David Koresh. I think it was Vernon. The whole story about how he got control of the group is crazy too.
Can always see those New York license plates from a mile a way they're so distinctive. Also there was one in New York where he missed the I ♡ NY sign on the bus.
To be fair, the beauty of something like this if you don’t see people is you have no idea that you might be looking at a majority minority precinct like that district in Miami Dade.
I always assume mountains are automatically Republican territory. Got all the Florida ones wrong. Like I knew it was Florida but just assumed they were all Republican territory. Thought Hawaii was the Texas Gulf Coast. The first one was obviously stereotypically an East Coast city. So it was the easiest to guess correctly.
6:38 I live in SW Washington, pretty much any time you see this landscape it’ll be WA, most likely in the Seattle suburbs. Very WA recognizable with the lush evergreen trees
I think my instincts served me pretty well. Suburbs were naturally the touchest spots. Generally, unless there were other factors, I found 1 story suburbs were Trump, 2 story suburbs were Biden. I largely judged it based on perceived wealth. Additionally, rural areas were generally Trump, but there were a couple "trap" areas. These areas seemed rural, but the houses were designed in a kind of "lets surround the house with trees and embrace nature" way. I see that where I am in MA sometimes, and that specific type of apparent rural is the earthy-crunchy Biden territory. Urban is of course, all Biden all the time.
This is fun, thanks for sharing! I played along and started doing it myself, it's fun if you like learning about geography and politics, as I'm sure most of us do! and it's Way-co :)
6:37 At first glance I knew this was near me, Western Washington near Seattle 🤩 (and that most voted for Biden because it's suburban Puget Sound). Edit: Same with 12:12 when I saw the enough evergreen trees.
I did a challenge on this if I didn't see an American flag, I guessed it voted for Biden if I saw an American flag, I guessed it voted Trump I got 15/20 with this metric
people always talk about schools having a liberal bias but where I live my teacher literally identifies as a minarchist he says so much bullshit I wanna correct him on but I can't the American Education system is a system of childhood indoctrination
@@OK-nr6se I'm a minarchist so I'm curious about the stuff he says (that you consider bullshit) Schools are like that almost everywhere though, blame the germans for it.
They really vary by state. California suburbs look completely different than say Tennessee. It’s actually pretty fun to see the differences when traveling lol
Some do but in Arizona since it’s always sunny they look nice and beautiful. However the neighborhood in Arizona in this video is a horrible example cause it is very ugly however my old suburb neighborhood was pretty nice. Trust me Arizona and I guess California suburbs are nice. Wherever it’s sunny ya know. Washington Grey skies give me bad vibes and also the ghettos
@@Cinnamontoastcrunch1029 I'm not talking about the weather actually, but the fact that every house is almost the same, the big open Gardens and the labyrinth of roads and utter lack of identity...
Ang "imprastraktura" na hindi pang-imprastraktura ng Administrasyong hindi katulad ng isa pang kabayo sa Trojan para sa kaliwang pangangailangan. Pag-uurong ng mga batas na "Right To Work". Ang pagpapataw ng pinakamalaking bagong pagtaas ng buwis sa isang henerasyon - pagpatay sa mga trabaho at pagbagal ng paglaki ng sahod kapag ang mga manggagawa ay nangangailangan ng mabilis na paggaling.
Fresh Meadows is in Queens so it's NYC. You can see a NYC bus in the shot. I live in Queens so when I saw that I was like "omg it's Queens it's Biden!"
I don't really think the American flag is that big an indicator, you can make the argument that Republicans are more outwardly expressive of their patriotism but they don't own the flag, Democrats fly it all the same
Where I live there were suburbs which had voted GOP for decades but were won but flipped. Some of them were won by Biden by 20+ point margins ! These areas were won by Bush, McCain and Romney by extremely lopsided margins.
am from California also my county is very Republican (kern cty) We have the inner city of Bakersfield, with small town near me this cty went for DT by over 13pts
you kind of can. if you see multifamily properties, its almost always dem. if you see farmland it almost always pickup trucks. beyond that you can generally judge by how big/far apart the houses are
