Given all differences between the red and blue states, your assumption that all the trends in your chosen metrics are solely/mainly caused by rep vs dem governance is totally unfounded. Have you ruled out effects of agricultural vs trading oriented states? Or sparsely populated vs densely populated states? Demographics? I'm not saying it doesn't have any influence, but why would voting behaviour be the root cause instead of one or more of these other factors? In fact you didn't even look at the historical governance, but only at the 2020 elections... This has the same energy as using the notorious FBI crime statistics to prove a point about ethnicities.
