Republicans are Killing Themselves in Record Numbers. Suicide, Alcoholism and Drug Overdose... Despair Deaths are Wiping Out Americans in Red States.

https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/03/28/how-and-where-growing-numbers-of-americans-are-taking-their-own-lives

How and where growing numbers of Americans are taking their own lives. The statistics of self-destruction The suicide rate in rural counties is 78% higher than that in big cities and those people vote Republican.


The Quality of Life and Hope for the Future are declining among Farmers and Factory Workers. Financial Ruin is the Main Factor. After a Farmer loses the Family Farm, the End is Near. Trump's Trade War has Made This Problem Worse.  Closing Factories Cause Despair Deaths. Veterans Suffering from PTSD are also at Risk.

So, is there a solution? Yes. Voting Democrat has been shown to help as Public Officials that are Democrats Fund Help for People. Money Spent on Programs That Benefit Voters is Higher in Locations That Elect Democrats.  Republicans Pass Laws that Benefit the 1%... the Super Rich... 

Taking Student Loans and Graduating from College helps. For Example: People who have a BS Degree in Computer Science are Surviving. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa Working in an Office is a Long Lasting Career... Especially for people over 50 Years Old. Jobs like Fisherman or Logger wear out the bodies of Employees... After Years of Standing on a Fishing Boat, a Man's Knees Fail and He CAN'T work on a Boat... Then he is Out of Work and Unemployable... 

I got a Desk Job at http://www.mss.ca.gov/ Merit Systems. They Recruit for Government Jobs Working at the Welfare Office. It's Clean, Safe Work. Much Better than Working at a Lumber Mill. I live in Eureka, California a Rural Community... The Main Employers are Fishing and Logging... There are Many Dairy Farmers Also. 

Economic distress has led to mortality-rate spike for Trump Voters (white, middle-age Americans without a college degree.)

There is hope for Uneducated Americans... Learn a Skill at College. Nursing, Computer Science...
