The point Krugman (or Moretti, to be precise) makes about investment happening where the brains are gathered is the key element here.
All the tax cuts a state, city, municipality, or smallish bingo club might offer to encourage entrepreneurs are wasted sacrifices if there are no smart people there to hire after one has given away the place to make something happen.

Republicans want "the divide" to get worse, that's why every policy they have promoted for 30+ years increases it.Republicans use it to stoke anger, and direct blame at the gov, brown people, godless libs, socialists.

Their voters are like marks in a rigged betting game, the more they lose the harder they find it to quit, they can't face the fact that their addiction to voting "white" (GOP), was a con and they are the suckers.

Krugman addresses one problem

Krugman addresses one problem. Trumpland hates government when it is headed by Democrats. Kansas love tax cuts even as schools failed and the state went into debt.They will blame immigrants for the loss of jobs even as they reject government programs that would increase jobs. The hardcore Trump supporters will be with us for a long time.
